High-usage Water Rates to Increase

All residents of CPN should have received a postcard from the Metro District explaining changes to the Residential Rates paid for water. The minimum service fee, and the usage charge up to 12,000 gallons, along with the sanitary sewer charge, WILL NOT CHANGE this year. Rates will remain at $24.00 for sewer and $17.50 for water up to 3,000 gallons; and $1.80 per thousand gallons from 3,001 to 12,000 gallons.

However, water usage from 12,001 to 25,000 gallons will change from $2.20 to $2.35 per thousand gallons. Water usage in excess of 25,001 gallons will increase from $3.00 to $5.00 per thousand gallons.

Outside District residential rates (Hidden Pointe) will also remain the same up to 12,000 gallons ($30 for sewer, $21.90 for water up to 3,000 gallons, and $2.25 per thousand gallons from 3,001 to 12, 000 gallons used). But usage higher than 12,001 will change from $2.75 to $2.94 per thousand gallons, and water usage in excess of 25,001 gallons will increase from $3.75 to $6.25 per thousand gallons.
