Boyceville Village Board approves new utility fee and rate schedule to take effect July 1, 2026

The Boyceville Village Board approved a new, all‑inclusive utility fee and rate schedule on May 11, setting the rates to take effect July 1, 2026.

Clerk‑Treasurer Brittany Halvorson and Public Works staff presented the proposed schedule and said residential rates had been adjusted per earlier board action. Staff also reviewed comparisons with other municipalities and provided rate ranges intended to move the village toward a more loading‑based industrial rate structure.

Trustee Jo Dormanen moved to approve the schedule; Trustee Al Kelly seconded and the motion carried. The board did not record a roll‑call tally in the minutes provided.

The presentation noted the schedule is intended to align utility charges with usage and loading characteristics for commercial and industrial customers; the clerk and public works will implement the new billing changes and finalize customer notices before the July 1 effective date.

The board also discussed industrial rate options and asked staff to compare proposed rates with neighboring municipalities before implementing administrative procedures. No formal amendments to the adopted schedule were recorded at the meeting.

The board’s next scheduled business will include follow‑up as staff refines implementation details and communicates changes to utility customers.
