We are notifying our Patrons that RWD 4 is going to have a rate Adjustment. The new rate will be on the July 1 bill and the new rate will be Meter/Min 43.92. Water 11.53/Thousand gallons.
RWD 4 is facing operational cost outlays that will significantly impact the district. To make sure we can provide the quality and quantity of water to our customers, we must take action now to stay ahead of our infrastructure project and the rising cost of distributing water to you, our patrons.
There are three primary drivers requiring us to make changes to our water rates:
- Purchased water cost increase – RWD 4 purchases 100% of the water consumed by our patrons. The cost of this water has increased significantly since our late rate increase.
- Mandatory infrastructure improvements,
- Continuous Operational Cost Increase – The cost of components, equipment, and the labor to maintain and deliver water to our patron continues to increase.
Rates have not been raised since 2017 and RWD 4 is committed to ensuring the new rate remain as affordable as possible.
Sincerely,
RWD 4 Board of Directors
