Hot Topics: Understanding Proposed Water & Wastewater Rates

New Ulm Public Utilities and the New Ulm Area Chamber of Commerce invites community members and business leaders to join us for a Hot Topics presentation on the proposed water and wastewater rate increases.

New Ulm Public Utilities Director Brett Fleck will provide an overview of the proposed rate adjustments, explain the factors driving the recommendation, and discuss how the proposed changes would support the long-term reliability and sustainability of New Ulm's water and wastewater systems.

Topics will include:

• Why rate increases are being proposed
• Aging infrastructure and future system needs
• Regulatory requirements and rising operating costs
• Proposed implementation timeline
• Opportunity for questions and answers

Whether you're a homeowner, business owner, or simply interested in learning more about New Ulm's utility system, this presentation is an opportunity to hear directly from Public Utilities leadership and gain a better understanding of the proposal before any changes take effect.

The Chamber is partnering with New Ulm Public Utilities to provide an opportunity for businesses and residents to learn more about the proposed rate changes and ask questions. The program is free but registration is requested for planning purposes. RSVP by clicking the "register" button on this page, or by contacting the Chamber at 507-233-4300 or chamber@newulm.com to RSVP or to learn more. 

If you cannot make the presentation, please e-mail comments and questions to the utility at UtilityRates@NewUlmMN.gov.
