The Village of Jackson Budget & Finance Committee on Nov. 11 recommended authorization of a sewer-utility rate increase to take effect Jan. 1, 2026.

A memo in the committee packet and a recommendation from the Board of Public Works supported the change. Public Works staff member Jack told the committee, "18% was the increase that was brought to Board of Public Works." Committee members moved and seconded the recommendation and approved it by voice vote; no roll-call tally by name was recorded in the committee minutes.

The committee action is a recommendation to the Village Board; the Village Board must formally set rates. The committee record does not include the detailed rate schedule or the impact to an average residential bill; those details were not included in the transcript and should be confirmed in the Board of Public Works or rate analysis packet materials.
