Pennies a Day for Great Water

You may have read in the newspaper or heard on television that City Utilities wants to raise the cost of your water.  That's true.  The last increase in what you pay for drinking water as a customer of City Utilities happened in 2006.  In the past 5 years our costs have gone up, we've had to make expensive changes int he way we treat water because of a federal mandate and the number of water main breaks that happen every year is increasing.

City Utilities is asking for an increase just on what you pay for water every month.  The increase will not apply to the whole utiity bill.

If the increase is approved, a typical household would pay about $4 more per month in 2013 or about 13 cents more per day.  Those few additional pennies will go a long way toward making Fort Wayne's water supply more reliable.  Read more.....
