Montgomery County Public Service Authority Meeting 6-1-2026

The Montgomery County Public Service Authority held a meeting on June 1, 2026, primarily focused on water and sewer service rates, budget approvals, and capital improvement projects. The board discussed proposed increases to water and sewer rates for fiscal year 2027, including comparisons to neighboring towns and explanations for higher county rates due to factors like system losses and wheeling fees paid to Christiansburg for water transmission. The board unanimously approved the FY 2027 water and sewer rate schedule, as well as the wastewater and water budgets. Updates were provided on capital projects such as the completion of the Camp Christy tank, the near-final design of the Camp Christy to Elliston waterline, and the completion of the Oil Well Road waterline project. The board also discussed upcoming capital improvement proposals for wastewater treatment facilities and plans to reallocate operating cash to capital improvement funds. Additionally, the board received a status update on regulatory compliance and personnel achievements. No new contracts or vendor selections were reported, but the meeting included important budgetary and capital planning decisions affecting future procurement activities.
