Water Rate Increase Effective 05/01/24
4/10/2024
The Athens City Council voted Monday 04/08/2024 in a regular council meeting to raise water and sewer rates for the users of the City of Athens Water District by passing Ordinance #03-2024. Due to rising costs, and system maintenance that must be done to maintain a safe and proper working utility system, rates had to be increased. The new rate change will go into effect for the May water usage and will be reflected on the billing that is received in June. The rates are as follows:
