WEBSTER — Water Sewer Commission unanimously approved a $1,000 permit fee increase for accessory dwelling units, up from $250 per department.

In other matters, the department reported progress on the Bigelow Road and Memorial Beach construction projects, targeted for completion by September-October and May 2027; received seven bids for the Aeration Phase #2 project ranging from $4.4 million to $7.1 million against a budgeted $5.1 million; and noted approximately 400 meters remained in the ongoing meter replacement project, with shutoffs planned for September 15 for non-responsive customers.
