The Water Utility is proposing to the PSC that they raise their rates by 16%. Please see the public notice below, which includes the date and time of the public hearing.
PUBLIC NOTICE TO ALL CUSTOMERS OF MADISON WATER UTILITY
Madison Water Utility has filed an application with the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSCW) to increase water rates.
The increase is necessary due to increased operating costs and plant additions since the last full water rate case in 2005.
The total increase in water revenues requested is $2,769,244 which will result in an estimated overall rate increase of 16% over the water utility’s present revenues.
If the request is granted, the water bill for an average residential customer with a 5/8-inch meter who uses 4,300 cubic feet of water semiannually will increase from $66.21 to $77.10, or 16%, for general service; and from $71.81 to $83.10, or 16% overall, when the public fire protection charge is also included.
A public hearing on the application has been scheduled for
