Northfield sewer commissioners approve $669,190 budget while deferring rate-setting decisions. The Board of Sewer Commissioners voted unanimously to approve the fiscal year 2026 budget amount and directed Chief Operator Isaac Golding and staff to rework rate formulas using three models to ensure more equitable cost allocation, with particular focus on adjusting flat fees.
