Madeira uses approximately 20% of the water produced by the Village and accounts for roughly 24% of the revenue due to minimum billing. The effects of this change are currently being explored in Council’s annual water rate analysis. If this change occurs, a two-year transition is required. Therefore, budgetary effects would not be seen until 2027.
As an offset, Village households have significantly expanded. The northern area of the Village will have over 100 new homes over the next few years – over 50 of which are completed or platted. In addition, various other land parcels have been developed throughout the Village.
