No Increase In FY13

Mayor Joseph A. Curtatone announces that water/sewer rates will remain unchanged in Fiscal Year 2013. Although the City’s assessments from the MWRA increased by a combined 2.6%, the City will maintain rates at the FY12 rate (please see below for breakdown of rates).

“We decided that the City could afford to absorb the modest increase in water costs us, and that holding the line on water rates would be something that benefit everyone in the City, said Mayor Curtatone. “It’s a way for us to help ratepayers still dealing with the tough economic times that we have all been experiencing over the last few years.”
