PUBLIC NOTICE TO ALL CUSTOMERS OF

VILLAGE OF DORCHESTER WATER UTILITY

 

The Village of Dorchester Water Utility has filed an application with the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSCW) to increase water rates.  The increase is necessary to cover recent operating losses and to generate capital for future plant expansion.  The last water rate case was in 2007.

 

The total increase in water revenues requested is $183,201 which will result in an estimated overall rate increase of 121% over the water utility’s present revenues.  If the request is granted, the water bill for an average residential customer with a ?-inch or ¾-inch meter who uses 8,000 gallons of water per quarter will increase from $53.20 to $114.00, or 114%.

 

A telephonic public hearing on the application has been scheduled for August 13, 2013,

at 10:00 a.m. in the Village Clerk/Treasurer’s Office, 228 West Washington Street, Dorchester, Wisconsin.  Scheduling questions regarding this hearing may be directed to the PSCW at (608) 266-3766.
