Settlement reached in Lamoille County Lawsuit
The Village of Hyde Park announces that a settlement has been reached in the lawsuit with Lamoille County.
The County lawsuit challenged the Village water and wastewater rate structure and sought to shift a considerable portion of the burden of state-mandated water and wastewater improvements from county owned public properties, to private Village water and wastewater customers. The resolution finalizes a compromise in the rate structure, whereby the County cost burden will be reduced, while still protecting Village residents from shouldering the full County proposed increase.
The Village is pleased to have the matter resolved and thanks our residents and customers for their patience during the process.
