Quick context to catch up fast.
The Board unanimously supported the proposed FY2027 DPW General Fund and Enterprise Fund budgets. The General Fund would increase about 1.4%, while the Sewer budget aims to avoid a rate increase; Water costs are expected to rise because of treatment, lead service line, meter, and chemical expenses. The town is also pursuing PFAS-related cost recovery to reduce future water-rate impacts.

Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The proposed budgets preserve funding for road repairs, including an increased asphalt line, while accounting for higher wages and operating costs. Sewer rates are targeted to remain unchanged, but water costs face pressure from treatment plant work, lead service line programs, meter replacement, and PFAS treatment. The Board also reviewed delinquent utility accounts: approximately $543,000 was more than 120 days overdue, and customers receiving notices may face shutoffs if they do not respond or become current.
