Bath Water District seeks 48 percent rate hike in Maine
The Bath Water District petitions the Maine Public Utilities Commission for a first rate increase in 43 years. The proposal calls for an average 48 percent rise, with homeowners paying about 20 percent more. The base quarterly bill would rise from 5.00 to 6.00 dollars, with 1,200 cubic feet included and excess charged at 21 cents per 100 cubic feet. Proponents cite needed upgrades including a 12 inch main on Winship Street and a new one million gallon standpipe, plus ongoing system improvements to boost fire protection and reliability.
