NOTICE OF RATE INCREASE 

EFFECTIVE JANUARY 2026 BILLING

Due to the rising costs of utilities, fuel, insurance, labor and other expenses, The board of Public Water Supply District #1 of Butler County evaluated the financial status of the District and reviewed the District’s current water rates.  It was determined that rates need to be increased to $4.45 per thousand gallons of water usage. The Water District has not increased rates in 15 years and did not take the decision to increase rates lightly, however the Board of Directors believes that the new rates are reasonable and will help insure the viability of the district and allow the district to continue providing clean, safe and healthy drinking water. 

 The minimum charges will also increase to the following:

 $8.93 for a ¾ Residential/Commercial meter to $10.30 per month

$8.93 for a 1” Residential meter to $10.30 per month

$15.31 for a 1” Commercial meter to $17.65 per month

$21.69 for a 2” Commercial meter to $25.00 per month

$28.07 for a 4” Commercial meter to $32.30 per month

 The Board is announcing the rate increase now, so customers can adjust their budget accordingly for the upcoming changes.
