IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT RATES
A sign of the economic times, costs for maintaining the infrastructure for the water and sewer for the residents of Williamsburg have risen. The Williamsburg Water & Sewer Commission raises revenue only to cover the current costs associated with providing these services. Despite the board’s best efforts to keep the costs down, there is a budget shortfall necessitating an increase to the user rates for consumers of our system. The water rates will be increasing from $4.00 per 100 cubic feet to $5.40 per 100 cubic feet, and the sewer rates will be increasing from $3.00 per 100 cubic feet to $3.50 per 100 cubic feet. The fixed rates will be increasing also. These increases will go into effect with the Spring 2010 bills. These increases will be re-evaluated for the next year’s budget.
