Longer-form draft.
During the January 29 Water and Sewer Commission meeting, several decisions were made that directly impact Sunapee residents' wallets and the town's long-term debt. First, the Commission voted unanimously to increase the unmetered water usage fee from $750 to $1,000. They also established a new $25 fee for returned payments. If you use unmetered water or have banking issues with your utility payments, you will see these costs reflected soon. Second, the board endorsed a warrant article for a $1.3 million solar energy project. While the Commission noted potential long-term savings, this project will be funded through the sewer department rather than the general tax fund. Residents should look for the details of this bond at the upcoming deliberative session. Finally, a significant financial dispute was noted involving the SAU, which is reportedly refusing to pay a $12,000 water bill for soccer field irrigation. The Commission expressed frustration over the lack of communication regarding this unpaid debt. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/sunapee/water-sewer-commission/2026-01-29/ #MeetingWatch #SunapeeNH
