Effective with the July 1, 2014 billing date, water shall be furnished at the following monthly rate which shall include an administrative charge of $5.83 per meter:

New rates (Per 100 Cubic Feet):

Cubic Feet – Net – Gross

According to Finance Director Kevin Jacobson, “the budget process started out as having the water [rate increase] at around 6% increase, but was reduced to 3.36% for [2014-2015] and then I would have to increase approximately 3.5% for [2015-2016] due to restructuring the debt payments for the first two years for the water tower.”
