PUBLIC NOTICE TO ALL CUSTOMERS OF NEW BERLIN WATER UTILITY

 

 

The New Berlin 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 expenses since the last water rate case 2004.

 

The total increase in water revenues requested is $597,418 which will result in an estimated overall rate increase of 14% 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 or ¾-inch meter who uses 17,000 gallons of water per quarter will increase from $67.99 to $78.20, or 15%.

 

A telephonic public hearing on the application has been scheduled for Monday, March 23, 2009, at 10:00 a.m. in the Council Chambers of the New Berlin City Hall, 3805 South Casper Drive, New Berlin, Wisconsin.  Scheduling questions regarding this hearing may be directed to the PSCW at (608) 266-3766.
