 2026 Budget Public Hearing to Amend the Water Rate
 Supervisor DePasquale opened the Public Hearing for an amendment to the 2026 Colden Town
 Budget water unit rate. He explained that the 2026 Budget rate of $682.35 was calculated using
 Colden’s water bills from mid-2025. The bills were high due to leaks in the system contributing
 to significant water loss. Since the leaks have been repaired, the bills are lower and the water rate
 can be lowered from $682.35 to $527.32 per parcel.

 MOTION made by Councilwoman Zurbrick; seconded by Councilman Robinson and
 unanimously approved to lower the 2026 Budget water unit rate from $682.35 to $527.32 per
 parcel by the following vote:

  On the vote:

  Councilman Dennis Robinson - yes
  Councilman Jesse Hrycik - yes
  Councilman Patricia Zurbrick - yes
  Councilman Gerald Pietraszek - yes
  Supervisor James DePasquale - yes

 PUBLIC HEARING ADJOURNED AT 7:07PM
