Water information Spring 2024

The Water department rates have not increased since 2017. Due to increases in the cost of supplies, chemicals, testing and materials, source and supply from Queensbury, technical upgrades to our Water plant equipment and security equipment to insure the safety of our water we are forced to increase the minimum usage rate to $98.00 for the first 18,000 gallons used and 3.90 for every 1,000 gallons used after that. This change is effective now and will reflect on your September water billing.
There is also an increase in fees associated with turning the water Off and on, Disconnecting or reconnecting a meter, Broken or frozen meters and missing equipment.


If for some reason your home will not be heated throughout the winter please schedule an appointment to remove the meter so it does not freeze and break as the cost to replace this is on the homeowner. Also, the remote to the meter is on the outside of your home. Please keep this in mind when replacing siding. This is the source for getting the water readings and must be connected at all times.


It is equally important to keep your contact information up to date with our office. In the event of an emergency or if there is a problem with your Meter we need to be able to get in touch with you. Please be sure we have your correct mailing address, telephone number and email address.
