Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Troy public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Water Connection Fee Increases
Troy proposes adding a fixed quarterly fee — $6 for water, $2.75 for sewer — on every bill to stabilize revenue as water use drops. Average quarterly bills would rise to about $246, still the lowest among peer communities.
Stephenson Water Main Rehabilitation
The city awarded a $2.37 million contract to rehabilitate the Stephenson water main, aimed at reliability of the drinking water system.
Refuse Contract Expiry in 2027
The 50-plus-year Tringali collection arrangement (via the SOCRA consortium) expires June 30, 2027. Staff want to extend rather than bid out, warning that other communities see 30% cost increases and cart-only service limits. Council Member Hamilton pressed for details.
