Possible Changes to Water/Sewer Rates, Chamber Updates, & More: Bishop City Council Meeting – September 22, 2025Possible Changes to Water/Sewer Rates, Chamber Updates, & More: Bishop City Council Meeting – September 22, 2025By: Tyler Beadle, Sierra Wave Media WriterThe Bishop City Council meeting kicked off at 6:02 p.m. on September 22, 2025, with Mayor Karen Kong presiding over a slim quorum of three—herself, Councilmember Jose Garcia, and Councilmember Karen Schwartz—after the absence of Mayor Pro Tem Stephen Muchovej and Councilmember Dennis Freundt. Next was Bishop Chamber of Commerce President Robert Sharp, who shared the recent escrow closure on a new building, along with other Chamber updates. Serving 1,200 connections, the city faces expiring 2018 rates, prompting a 2026 overhaul to fund $4 million in water and $2.8 million in sewer infrastructure. The city council meetings will resume on October 27th, 2025. I encourage everyone to view the full video and agenda on the City of Bishop website.
