BENNINGTON â Sewer rates will rise while water rates will remain unchanged under the budget and rate plan approved this week by the Select Board for fiscal year 2022, beginning in July.
The board also agreed to amend Benningtonâs animal control ordinance to clarify sections pertaining to vicious or nuisance pet complaints and hearings before the Select Board.
The board approved water and sewer budgets Monday that were the subject of a board work session June 23 involving town office and department officials.
Town Manager Stuart Hurd said the sewer rate will be 10.5 percent higher, while the water budget will not require a rate increase under the proposal.

BENNINGTON â The Select Board has turned down a request to waive a policy of requiring voter petitions if a nonprofit service organization seeks a higher annual allocation from the town.
At its meeting last week, the board also placed on the March 2 town ballot a referendum forced by an earlier petition drive to gather the signatures of at least 5 percent of registered voters â or about 500.
That was in favor of a proposed charter change allowing Bennington to switch to a mayoral form of government.
Town Manager Stuart Hurd had previously mentioned to the board that an organization sought to raise its prior ballot request but did not want to conduct a petition drive during the COVID-19 epidemic.
