West Haven's storm water budget leans on $766,238 in reserves as a fee increase is studied
The fiscal 2027 storm water budget expects $343,000 from the current $3 monthly fee and lists a $500,000 general fund transfer and $766,238 from reserves to balance it, though the listed sources add up to $289,000 more than the stated total. The city manager's summary says the fee must rise.
