This page provides a detailed overview of the current water rates and associated fees established on January 1, 2025 by our water association. These rates are essential for meeting both ongoing operational demands and regulatory compliance obligations. They also play a critical role in maintaining the safety, reliability, and sustainability of our water services, while funding necessary infrastructure improvements and system upkeep.
New Rate Changes Taking Effect Sept 1, 2025
At a recent board meeting it was proposed to increase some of the rates to be competitive with surrounding water associations. Click HERE to see the rate increase.
The rate structure consists of two primary components: a base service fee and a variable charge based on individual water consumption. We encourage all members to review this information carefully to understand how these rates may impact your billing.
If you have any questions or require assistance in interpreting your bill or the rate schedule, please contact us directly. We are happy to help clarify any concerns you may have.
