Water Meter Proposal Approved by Commission
Acton Hydro Commission approved a plan to read water meters on the same schedule as hydro meters. The move, discussed during a nearly two and a half hour committee meeting with council, aims to reduce duplication in water and hydro department administration and consolidate billing into a single I billing. The measure calls for a cent of 1 cents per unit or similar rate for the March reading, with dual water and hydro bills sent on one statement. Consumers would see bills issued by the town office, succeeding the dissolution of the Public Utilities Commission and the current separate readings by town employees.
