NOTICE OF RATE SCHEDULE
The Southington Water Department in order to continue to fund its operating and capital improvement budget has found it necessary to raise water rates. The operating budget has continued to increase due to several reasons, including but not limited to, increases in insurance, treatment, utilities and labor. The capital budget has also continued to grow due to infrastructure improvements and replacement costs. As a result, the Southington Board of Water Commissioners (SBWC) has decided to increase rates in order to continue to serve our customers with a safe, reliable drinking water supply. At its June 2018 meeting, the SBWC voted to adopt the following proposed rate increase.
The following water rates were effective in the July 2018 billing. This means that any water consumption used to calculate the July 2018 billing was based on the following new rates:
