An area water utility board passed a 2017-18 budget after struggling for weeks to find a way to account for costs associated with recent improvements.
The Thunderbird Farms Water Improvement District Board passed the balanced budget Thursday.
After whittling down non-crucial costs associated with payroll, water treatment, office supplies and building maintenance, the board presented its third draft of the budget, which was in part balanced by a $5 “system upgrade surcharge.”
