You might be wondering why you ve seen an increase to the amount of your sewer service here in Dayton. The increase was necessary to fund much needed upgrades and repairs to two vital parts of our sewer system; the replacement of the midspan of the utility/pedestrian bridge, which carries the City s sewer and water lines across the Yamhill River; and the new sewer lift station on Hwy 221, which frequently lost power in its old location resulting in discharge of sewage into Palmer Creek. The lift station had to be relocated to install a generator on site limiting interruptions to its power supply. Both of these projects were funded with the assistance of loans that have since entered repayment. To fund the payments on these loans, Dayton City Council passed Resolution 2023/24-07 during a public hearing on December 4, 2023. This resolution increased sewer rates in February 2024 and again in February of this year. Although the City s sewer rate study recommended an increase to $97.65 per month beginning in 2025, City Council agreed to an increase solely in the amount necessary to fund the loan payments on these projects. The increase each year was approved in the amount of $13.67, making the sewer rate $71.85 per month per Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) as of the February 2025 billing. If you have any questions about the increase, please reach out to us at cityofdayton@daytonorgon.gov or at 503-864-2221. Thank you

Quizás se pregunte por qué ha visto un aumento en el servicio de alcantarillado aquí en Dayton. Este aumento fue necesario para financiar mejoras y reparaciones necesarias de dos partes vitales de nuestro sistema de alcantarillado: el reemplazo del tramo intermedio del puente peatonal/de servicios públicos, que lleva las tuberías de alcantarillado y agua de la ciudad a través del río Yamhill; y la nueva estación de bombeo de alcantarillado en la autopista 221, que sufría frecuentes cortes eléctricos en su antigua ubicación, lo que provocaba la descarga de aguas residuales en el arroyo Palmer. La estación de bombeo tuvo que ser reubicada para instalar un generador en el lugar y limitar las interrupciones eléctricas. Ambos proyectos se financiaron con la ayuda de préstamos que ya han entrado en proceso de liquidación. Para financiar los pagos de estos préstamos, el Ayuntamiento de Dayton aprobó la Resolución 2023/24-07 durante una audiencia pública el 4 de diciembre de 2023. Esta resolución aumentó las tarifas de alcantarillado en febrero de 2024 y nuevamente en febrero de este año. Aunque el estudio de la tarifa de alcantarillado de la Ciudad recomendó un aumento a $97.65 mensuales a partir de 2025, el Ayuntamiento acordó en un aumento únicamente por la cantidad necesaria para financiar los pagos del préstamo de estos proyectos. El aumento anual se aprobó por $13.67, lo que eleva la tarifa de alcantarillado a $71.85 mensuales por Unidad de Vivienda Equivalente (UDE) a la facturación de febrero de 2025. Si tiene alguna pregunta sobre el aumento, contáctenos en cityofdayton@daytonorgon.gov o al 503-864-2221. Gracias.

CITY OF DAYTON LIFTS STAGE 2 MODERATE WATER CURTAILMENT FEBRUARY 4, 2025 DAYTON, OR The City of Dayton is pleased to announce that, effective immediately, the Stage 2 Water Curtailment that has been in place since January 16, 2025, is no longer in effect. Water reservoir levels have returned to normal for this time of year. Therefore, residents and utility customers may resume regular water usage. The water curtailment was implemented due to ongoing water supply challenges, including a significant drop in well production. Since then, the City s Public Works Department has been working diligently to locate and repair leaks in the distribution system. A major leak was recently identified and fixed, allowing the city s water storage to recover. While well production remains lower than typical for this time of year, the repaired leak has provided the city with much-needed relief. City officials continue to explore long-term solutions to ensure a sustainable water supply, including seeking funding for the development of a new well system. Mayor Annette Frank expressed appreciation for the hard work and dedication of the Public Works team, stating, Under stressful conditions, the Dayton Public Works Department has worked tirelessly to identify leaks and other challenges. They ve done a fantastic job of mitigating these challenges and are deserving of recognition and many thanks for their outstanding service and efforts. Thank you to our Public Works Department we appreciate all you do to bring our community clean, drinkable water. Council President Drew Hildebrandt also commended the Public Works team, adding, From the moment Public Works Supervisor Don Cutler and his team identified the problem with our water supply, they have worked around the clock to find solutions. I want to commend the Public Works team for their dedication to our city. Thank you for all you do for our community. The City of Dayton thanks all residents and water customers for their cooperation and patience during this time. As the City continues working toward long-term water system improvements, residents are encouraged to use water responsibly and stay informed about future updates.
