NOTICE

The Authority of the Borough of Charleroi Water Department
Water Rate Changes
The following table summarizes the rate increases for all Authority Water Customers starting in February 2020. These rate changes are due to increasing Operating Costs and the need for Capital Improvements to the Authority’s Water System that cannot be supported by the current Water rates.
Please understand that the Authority Board exercised its best business judgment in keeping the increases to a minimum while meeting its obligations required by law.
We appreciate your patience, confidence, support and understanding of these necessary changes.
At its meeting on December 17, 2019, the Authority of the Borough of Charleroi, acting by virtue of a resolution, adopted the following rate schedule; effective on all water billed beginning February 1, 2020. These changes will be reflected on your March 2020 bill. This rate schedule applies to all classes of water customers.
