The Wilton Sewer Department held a special hearing to address a proposed rate increase. The department faces challenges including an anticipated increase to Milford's rates, the need to budget for the Maple Street Bond principal payment, questions about storing sewer department equipment on town property, repayment of funds loaned by the Town of Wilton, and the establishment of reserves for emergencies and infrastructure improvements. The proposed rates aim to cover costs and improve the department's ability to respond to emergencies and plan for the future. The department also completed GIS mapping of the current system and consulted with Granite State Rural Water Association to work on a long-range plan.
