Platte 4 District News - Rate Change

February 12, 2010..... The Board of Directors announced a rate increase effective May 1, 2010. After two years of low water sales and the increase in wholesale water cost, the preliminary 2009 financial year end report showed a need to increase the minimum $10 monthly water rate, established in 1989 to $12. The base minimum will continue to include 1,000 gallons of water. For each additional 1,000 gallons of water purchased after the minimum, the rate will be adjusted from the current $5.41 per 1,000 gallons to $5.65 per 1,000 gallons. Again, the new rates will be effective May 1, 2010.
