Town Meeting acted to prevent an increase in sewer costs by approving Article 26, which maintains the current sewer rate at $4.95 per 100 cubic feet. To achieve this rate stability, the town will transfer $77,306 from the sewer surplus account.

The transfer covers the gap between the department's operating costs and projected revenue, ensuring that the burden does not fall on ratepayers in the form of a fee hike. The Chair of the Warrant Committee introduced the motion, which was passed by the members to keep the rate at its current level for the fiscal period.

Motion: To maintain the sewer rate.

Vote: Passed
