Brooklawn Water Rates to Increase

NOTICE TO RESIDENTS:

THE GOVERNING BODY ADOPTED AN ORDINANCE TO INCREASE THE WATER RATES THAT WILL GO INTO EFFECT WITH THE SECOND QUARTER BILLING. THE MINIMUM BILL FOR 9,000 GALLONS WILL BE $50.00, WITH THE EXCESS STAYING THE SAME AT $6.00 PER 1,000 GALLONS.

THE BOROUGH HAS KEPT THEIR WATER RATES THE SAME FOR THE LAST TWENTY YEARS, BUT WITH THE PRICES OF CHEMICALS, UTILITIES AND AGING INFRASTRUCTURE, IT IS NECESSARY TO HAVE THIS INCREASE.

THE OTHER CHANGE TO THE WATER UTILITY IS THE SHUT-OFF POLICY. YOUR WATER SERVICE WILL BE SHUT-OFF IF YOU HAVE A BALANCE OF $300 OR GREATER AND/OR YOU ARE TWO (2) QUARTERS BEHIND IN MAKING PAYMENTS.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE CALL THE BOROUGH HALL AT 456-0750.

THANK YOU,

BROOKLAWN MAYOR & COUNCIL
