Residents in Schuylkill County should expect to see a rise in their water bill as the Schuylkill County Municipal Authority announced it is increasing water rates.
According to the Republican Herald, some sewer rates are also increasing for different areas.
Customers using the minimum can expect to see their bills increase by only $28.80 per year, $7.20 per quarterly billing cycle or 8 cents per day. Those customers using more than the allowable minimum will see a higher cost for their usage.
On the sewer side, rates are increasing for Branch/Cass Township, Tremont and Gordon.
Rate increases are effective Aug. 1 but will be reflected on bills due on or after Sept. 30.
