Cham saves millions: Fall concession fees for water, electricity and gas!
In the municipality of Cham you can look forward to: The financial figures from 2024 present themselves brilliantly. Like nau.ch , the community has a plus of proud CHF 32.1 million. The result is particularly gratifying because it was mainly achieved by higher tax revenue - despite a deeper tax rate. This shows that the community has a good knack for financial planning.
In a meeting that recorded 190 participants, the invoice was consistently noticed. However, there were also discussions: two applications for the future use of the profit did not find the necessary approval and were rejected.
abolition of the concession fees
Another step towards relief for citizens: In the future, the municipality will dispense with the collection of concession fees for water, electricity and gas.

social responsibility and further decisions
Another positive aspect of the assembly is the decision to free therapy, assistance and social dogs from dog tax. This shows that social responsibility is also capitalized in Cham. It is also particularly noteworthy that locals should be preferred in the allocation of community apartments. This makes an important sign of the local living situations.

The discussion about the restoration of sports and lawn places and the digital strategy 2030, which was treated in two interpellations, also remains exciting. In another session, oral answers to the financial support of the municipality of Blatten and for the Pfas pollution in the Teuflibach area were given.
It is of great importance that the decision -makers in Cham continue to stay actively at the pulse of the community and take the concerns of the citizens seriously. The upcoming inquiries and motions reflect the commitment of the population to actively shape their community. Finally, the municipal council of Esther Haas said goodbye as a cantonal councilor, who worked in the Cantonal parliament from Zug from 2010 to 2025 and was a president from 2020 to 2022. It remains to be seen who will accept upcoming challenges in order to further promote responsible financial policy and social balance in Cham.| Details | |
