The Public Service Commission’s public hearing at the Hundred town hall in regards to a proposed water rate increase for the Hundred Littleton Public Service District will be March 4 at 10 a.m. It was previously published as scheduled for March 14.

PSC Staff is recommending a $17.20 per month water rate increase for a residential customer using the statewide average of 4,000 gallons per month. That would bring the total monthly charge for that volume to $63.80, which would be the sixth highest rate in the state among 425 water utilities.

They are not recommending an increase in sewer rates as they were increased by 62 percent in December 2008. The PSC Staff does, however, recommend changes in the district’s incidental charges, such as tap fees, reconnection fees, and security deposits.
