Water Pollution Control Authority Public Hearing - June 2, 2026

The Town of Stratford Water Pollution Control Authority held a public hearing on June 2, 2026, to discuss proposed changes to sewer rates. The hearing included public comments opposing the proposed rates and suggestions regarding septic waste management. The Authority reviewed and amended the proposed sewer rates, ultimately approving a residential rate of $469.39 annually and a commercial rate of $9.77 per 100 cubic feet, with commercial users paying no less than the residential user fee. The adjustments were made possible by eliminating a previously proposed budget surplus and slightly increasing commercial rates to provide relief to residential ratepayers. A roll call vote was conducted to adopt the new rates, which passed unanimously. No other procurement or contract awards were discussed during the meeting.
