OWASA rate hike input

Posted on May 26, 2010 by Staff

The Orange Water and Sewer Authority will hold a public hearing May 27 to receive comments from residents on proposed rate hikes for residences and businesses. The proposed 9.25 percent increase in monthly rates would add about $7 to a typical residential bill for 5,000 gallons of water and sewer service.

Rates would also increase about 9.25 percent for businesses, master-metered multi-family developments and institutional customers, who pay “seasonal” water rates; and for irrigation-only customers. The one-time “service availability” or capacity fees for initial connections to the OWASA system would increase about 3.8 percent.
