Public Meeting on Proposed Changes to Water Rates

Thanks to Dedham-Westwood Water District for contributing this news to Westwood Minute.

The Dedham-Westwood Water District will host a discussion about changes to the water rates at the next Board of Commissioners Meeting on Wednesday, February 12, at 6:30 p.m.

This year, the District plans to increase its monthly meter charge and revise the residential and commercial rate structures to align with industry standards and better promote water conservation.

“It has been over 15 years since the District has performed an analysis on its entire rate structure, and in that time, the best management practices of rate setting for the water industry have changed,” said
Executive Director Blake Lukis. “Additionally, as we continue to comply with several new ever-evolving regulatory requirements and fund large-scale infrastructure projects, we must revise our existing rate structure to ensure long-term financial stability.”

Attendees can join the meeting remotely via Zoom or at the District Headquarters, 50 Elm Street, Dedham.
