Water rates on the rise? We’ll know soon.

The Virginia State Corporation Commission is in hearings today in Richmond over proposed rate increase for Virginia American Water customers who live in Dale City

The rate increase would amount to $8.6 million more in revenues for the company, about and 18% increase in revenues, according to Prince William County documents. 

Prince William County leaders passed a resolution in May opposing the increase.

It will be about 60 days before we learn if rates go up. 

“Uriah –

Just heard from my rates manager – they are still in Hearings today. His best guess is the Order will come in about three months.”

Virginia American Water says it needs the additional revenues to pay for improvements to its water delivery system.
