3 issues in water utilities
Town-Wide Flood Vulnerability and Stormwater Planning
Recent king tides and a gas line break hit the area hard. The Civic Center lost deck sections and will be closed for months while engineers redesign with deeper pilings; five beach crossovers are also closed pending a redesign item on the next agenda.
Utility Billing and Customer Service Software Upgrade
The town's utility billing system is getting a major upgrade starting August 21, bringing better account access and leak alerts. Residents will experience a brief portal outage over the weekend but can still drop off payments at the municipal campus.
Legislative Impacts on Water Surcharges
Recent state legislative changes are phasing out water surcharge fees for outside-city residents, resulting in a $1.4 million revenue loss for the general fund. The town is conducting a rate study to address the shortfall.
