PWSD Announces Rate Increase for 2014

As the Parker Water and Sanitation District moves into 2014, there are numerous projects that the District Board has approved to ensure current quality water and sewer service, as well as supporting future needs of District customers. In support of this effort, on November 14, 2013 Parker Water and Sanitation District's Board of Directors approved an increase to the 2014 rates of 3.5% for water and 1.5% for sewer. The effective date is January 1, 2014.

The rate increases are needed to support additional costs incurred by the District due to: • Bringing on-line a new, state-of-the-art water    purification facility in late 2014 (currently under construction) • Providing a renewable water source for PWSD's customers with the initial cost of purchasing 1,200 acre-feet of water from Aurora Water/Denver Water through the WISE Agreement • On-going operations of Rueter-Hess Reservoir • General inflationary increases

The chart above reflects the effect of the increases for an average residential customer.
