Effective March 16, 2010, the Fairview Township Water Authority District 3 will adjust the water rates for all customers up 5.0%. The adjusted rate will appear on the billing for the quarter ending June 15, 2010. The quarterly residential customer’s water charge, on average, will adjust up from $48.65 to $51.08 or $2.43 per quarter. The annual residential customer’s water charge on average will adjust up from $194.60 to $204.32. The actual adjustment to each customer will vary depending on the amount of water used. Upon request, the Water Authority will inform any customer of the estimated effect of the rate adjustment upon their water bill. Copies of the new rate schedule will be available at the Water Authority office at 7485 McCray Road, Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The Water Authority however did not adjust the water rate in 2009. This rate adjustment is necessary because of improvements and maintenance made to the water system. These costs, along with other increasing operating costs, such as electric power costs to operate the well system, cannot be absorbed without the need for placing into effect this rate adjustment to the water bill. The Water Authority will continue to operate with fiscal responsibility on behalf of the water customers in Fairview Township.
