Water Bills Include New Rate Increase

The statements due out this week will include the new 10 percent rate increase.

Residents will receive water bills this week that will include the 10 percent rate increase.

The increase went into effect Jan. 1., after city council approved the water and sewer rate increases back in October. Water bills coming out this week will reflect January and February usage, and includes the new rate.

 According to the city, approximately 5,000 of the 14,000 water bills will be prorated to include one day’s usage at the old rate because of meter reads prior to Dec. 31, 2010.

Additional information will be included on the first page of the bill. For more information regarding the rate increase, residents should click here, call 3-1-1 or 847-448-4311.
