Quick context to catch up fast.
The Sewer Commission approved a FY27 budget proposal that includes a minimum-charge increase from $133 to $139 and a 16% increase for regular users, from $15.85 to $18.38. The changes are intended to avoid drawing down retained earnings and would produce an estimated $26,000 surplus.

The proposed rate increases would help close an estimated $200,000 budget gap and fund about $200,000 in planned major repairs. The sewer budget is separate from the town budget and is funded by sewer customers. The Commission also discussed a separate stormwater utility that could charge single-family homes about $100 per year; creating that utility is expected to go before the May Town Meeting.
