To help offset the rising costs of providing and treating water as well as collection, transmission and treatment of wastewater, a planned rate increase will go into effect with the January 2016 billing.

Overall, residential customers on average will see about a 3 percent increase in their utility bill.

For most residential customers, the water volume charge will increase to $2.49 per 1,000 gallons and the minimum monthly service charge will increase to $14.69. The sewer volume charge will increase to $3.39 per 1,000 gallons and the minimum monthly service charge will increase to $13.27.

Larger meter sizes will see a comparable increase.
