Town Highlights

The Town Board will be looking to approve a water rate hike of $0.75 per thousand gallons to $5.75 per thousand gallons at the October 12th meeting.   Due to rising costs this is a necessity that we unfortunately must take. The current rate of $5.00 per thousand gallons has been in place for twenty years.  The rate hike when approved would take affect on January 1, 2023.

Thank you Barry for your many years of service to the Town.
