Utility Rate Increases

Moorhead residents should brace for higher water and electric bills in 2027: the city is weighing a 5.25% water rate hike and a 2.5% electric increase to fund infrastructure upgrades. The proposal isn’t final yet, so there’s still time to weigh in.

Interactive public art projects moving forward

With about $12,500 in 2026 arts funding, the city may issue a Request for Art for an interactive piece that engages youth and could be placed between downtown and the river or even rotate through neighborhood parks. Members want colleges involved and equitable siting.
