The town of Pittsfield is nearing final approval for a 48% increase to water rates, which would be the first such increase in more than a decade.
The proposed increase was first discussed June 1 at a public hearing during a Pittsfield Town Council meeting. At that time, Annaleis Hafford, vice president at Olver Associates, the company that serves as the operator for Pittsfield’s water and sewer systems, gave a presentation on the rate increase and said that, while it is a large number, the hike is needed to maintain the water system that serves 1,088 customers.
