Bennington residents face a twofold water cost under a rate plan approved by selectmen on advice from the Water Board. The move seeks to equalize residential and commercial charges while funding system upgrades. Sewer charges rise about 22 percent as a share of water bills, with a new $50 annual minimum and a flat 30 cent per thousand rate for all users over 150,000 gallons. Large commercial users see the biggest jump. small users see smaller increases. Revenue is expected to climb from 95,000 to about 190,000 dollars.
