2019 RATE INCREASE
As set forth by Ordinance 59, the District will increase the water rates based on the Social Security Administration cost of living increase plus half of one percent. Therefore, the 2019 rate increase will be 3.3 percent. This increase will take effect January 2019. Curran Gardner Townships Public Water District is dedicated to providing reliable water services in a cost-effective manner while protecting our water resources and the public’s health.
Effective August 2018, the final increase for the plant improvement assessment will be $7.46.
The Curran-Gardner Townships Public Water District will be flushing its fire hydrants during the month of June beginning on June 11, 2018. This is done on an annual basis to remove any sediment from the water mains. This also allows us the opportunity to check that each hydrant is working properly if needed during an emergency.
Your water may be cloudy up to 2 hours after a nearby hydrant(s) is/are flushed. However, it is still safe for drinking or cooking purposes. You may want to allow a kitchen faucet to run for a few minutes to flush your line if you plan to do laundry if we are or have been flushing in your area.
