MONTAGUE SEWAGE AND WATER COLLECTION AND TREATMENT CORPORATION

APPLICATION TO INCREASE WATER & WASTEWATER RATES & CHARGES

TAKE NOTICE that the Montague Sewage and Water Collection and Treatment Corporation has filed an application requesting increases to its annual water and sewer rates to be phased in over a 3-year period, effective July 1, 2009.

THE APPLICATION proposes the following rates for unmetered customers, per unit, per year:

 Type of Service

Current Rate Rate @
Jul 1, 2009
Rate @
Jul 1, 2010
Rate @
Jul 1, 2011

 Water

$189.51

$221.10

$252.68

$284.27

Sewer

$129.53

$179.18

$228.84

$278.49

The Utility is proposing the same percentage of increases in metered rates over the next three years; however, the impact varies depending on the type and size of the metered service and the amount of a customer’s annual consumption.

For example, based on the proposal, a 5/8" metered water and sewer customer consuming 250 cubic metres per year would see their overall annual rate increase from $321.45 to approximately $567.00 in three years. Metered customers wanting to know more details on the rate proposal should contact the Utility at the address below.

A DETERMINATION whether a public hearing is necessary will be made by the Commission dependent upon the written comments received concerning this application.
