On December 9, 2008 at 6PM there will be a public hearing on proposed water rate increases. The proposal would increase the base quarterly rate for both District 1 and District 75 to $40.98 and increase the additional charges to $2.47 per 100 cubic feet. The rate increase increase would take effect January 1, 2009 if adopted. The water rates have not been increased in many years and the amount the districts are charged by the City of Oneida has been increased during those years and will increase another 10% this year.
