Hamilton Township residents on municipal water could see big increase in rates until 2025

Hamilton Township residents using the municipal water system will see a possible 60 per cent increase in rates by 2035. That means the base rate will rise to more than $100 a month for the average user. About 600 people on the system will get hit. This does not cover the more than $11 million needed to pay for new equipment and systems over the same period. In this interview, Hamilton Township CAO Arthur Anderson will go into detail about a recent study presented to council regarding water rates. He will not only look at the financials, but also at current needs and the impact of potential growth. Have a listen and see how all this is going to affect your rates now and in the future.
