September 2024

In keeping with its commitment to public health and system reliability, The West View Water Authority Board of Directors has approved a rate increase to both our monthly customer service charge and volume consumption charges.  The overall rate will increase by 4.1 percent.

Our Board of Directors has authorized the rate increase to become effective on January 1, 2025. The Authority has not increased rates since 2018. In accordance with our Rules and Regulations West View Water Authority is providing a ninety (90) day notice of a rate increase.

The cost of volumetric consumption will increase to $7.22 per 1,000 gallons, which does not include the monthly customer charge. Considering the monthly customer charge the equivalent rate per 1,000 gallons would be $9.44, which is below average in comparison to other water providers in our area.

The West View Water Authority has taken steps to hold its costs down and improve efficiency. These steps include:

• A tank maintenance program where we take each tank out of service, one at a time, to thoroughly refurbish them. This will extend their useful life and allow us to avoid having to replace them for a longer period.

• In the last two years, West View Water has secured grants totaling more than $13 million that have helped defray costs of water line extensions, intake/treatment facility and road improvements, and lead service line replacements.

Clean, safe water is essential for any community. We believe the investments we are making will help support property values, make this region a more attractive place to do business and enhance the quality of life.

For customers in need of assistance, West View Water Authority participates in a hardship program administered by Dollar Energy Fund.  Customers may be eligible to receive a grant that is applied directly to their account balance.  For more information about this program please click here.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact our Customer Service Department 8:00am – 5:00pm, excluding holidays and weekends, at 412-931-3500.
