✓ Decided: Town Council reviews sewer rate increase from $23 to $25 per month
The Town Council held a public hearing to review a proposed amendment to the sewer rate schedule, which would raise the base rate for single-family and multi-unit customers from $23.00 to $25.00 per month. The proposal is justified by rising operational costs, revenue loss from the high school annexation, and capital needs for the pond grinder. No final vote was recorded in the minutes; the item remains under review.
- Reviewed proposed sewer rate increase from $23.00 to $25.00 per month (no vote recorded)
- Discussed Resolution 2026-06 on multi-unit billing compliance and occupancy reporting (no vote recorded)

TOWN OF ALTAMONT SEWER UTILITY FUND: FACTS & RATE JUSTIFICATION
Public Hearing Date: July 8, 2026 Prepared by: Office of the Town Clerk
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
The Altamont Town Council is reviewing a proposed amendment to the municipal sewer rate schedule,
adjusting the single-family residential and multi-unit base rate from $23.00 to $25.00 per month. This
fact sheet provides the transparent financial, operational, and legal data justifying this adjustment.
PART 1: THE THREE PILLARS DRIVING THE $2 ADJUSTMENT
1.
Escalating Operational Expenses (Up 12.3%) An independent audit of the town's sewer utility
reveals that mandatory system operational costs rose significantly over the last two fiscal years.
o
Previous Fiscal Year Expenses: $24,943.00
o
Most Recent Fiscal Year Expenses: $28,024.00
o Annual System Cost Increase: +$3,081.00 (a 12.3% jump in inflation and maintenance
costs)
2. The High School Annexation Revenue Drop the Altamont High School recently annexed into
town limits. While a positive development for the town’s footprint, this annexation immediately
dropped the high school's utility billing tier from the 1.5x out-of-town premium rate ($34.50) to
the standard inside-town rate. This change alone creates an inmediate, permanent loss of
$1,518.00 annually in sewer fund revenue.
3. Imminent Capital Infrastructure Demand (The Pond Grinder) The town faces an imminent
emergency repair or complete replacement of the industrial grinder at the sewer treatme …

- Resolution 2026-05: complete ban on fireworks and other ignition sources within town limits
- Emergency meeting scheduled for June 25, 2026, at 7:00 PM at Altamont Administration building, 15588 W 4000 N
- Fire Chief B. Jared Thacker's formal declaration of no safe fireworks locations
fireworkspublic-safetyemergency-meetingfire-ban
✓ Decided: Altamont adopts emergency fireworks ban ahead of holidays

The ban, effective immediately, carries a fine of up to $1,000 for violations and will be revisited on July 20, 2026. The decision was based on extreme fire danger and the fire chief's declaration that no safe locations exist for fireworks.
- Adopted Resolution 2026-05, emergency fireworks ban (unanimous)
- Opened and closed public hearing on fireworks ban (unanimous)
- Adjourned emergency meeting at 7:07 pm (unanimous)
