CARY – Village officials are looking at adjusting water and sewer rates – a small, initial decrease followed by annual increases.

Trilogy Consulting reviewed four years’ worth of expenditures, and projected expenses and revenues for the next five years in recommending a rate structure to keep the system in good condition.

It recommended a decrease of 0.38 percent for the average water and sewer user starting next month, and then in May beginning 3 percent annual increases to the rate to cover anticipated costs.
