Municipal Authority of Westmoreland County water rates will remain unchanged for the third straight year under a 2021-2022 operating budget approved Wednesday.
Authority board members unanimously voted to adopt the nearly $104 million budget that allocates about $7.3 million for routine capital improvement projects and maintenance of the water and sewer systems.
“It’s very important to remember that, by our growth, we’ve been able to keep rates steady,” said board Chairman Randy Roadman.
Officials said the average customer will continue to pay about $46 a month for water, a figure that authority leaders said is $15 below the national averages last compiled in 2017 by the U.S. Census Bureaus’s American Housing Survey.
