After careful consideration of the costs associated with producing quality water, as well as the costs associated with maintaining the infrastructure required to distribute water, the water district’s board of directors and management have decided a rate adjustment is necessary. Effective January 1, 2021 the new residential rate will be $22 for the first 1,000 gallons and $10 for each additional 1,000.
Effective January 1st, tap fees for residential customers will also be adjusted. The new price for a standard residential tap will be $1500. If you would like to purchase a tap at the current rate you may do so before the end of the year, however, the service address for the purchased tap must be provided at the time of purchase.
We would like all our customers to know these decisions are not made lightly or without careful consideration of all aspects of our operations, as well as the economic condition of our region. These concerns and considerations are evident in the fact that we have successfully navigated the last four years without a rate increase and the last 23 years without an increase in the cost of taps. We commit to do our best to produce the best quality of water for the most reasonable cost in the years to come.
