2023 Rate Increase
Effective January 1st, 2023, NWWA rates will be increasing. The last rate increase implemented by NWWA was in 1994. NWWA has worked hard to maintain rates for this long and our rates continue to remain lower than many other water service providers in the area. Information about this rate increase is being posted now to allow you to prepare and budget accordingly.
NWWA understands rate increases are difficult, but due to increased operating costs and changing regulatory requirements, they are now necessary to ensure NWWA continues to provide the highest quality drinking water.
NWWA sincerely appreciates our customers understanding in this necessary change. If you have any questions, please contact the NWWA Customer Service Department at:

DETAILS OF THE RATE INCREASE:
1. Minimum base (or meter) rates will be increasing by 15% for all customers.
2. The water consumption rate will increase to $4.14 per 1,000 gallons of use for all customers other than those in Warrington Township. Due to the Warrington Water Purchase Agreement terms, the water consumption rate for Warrington Township customers will increase to $3.96 per 1,000 gallons of water used.
3. For those customers receiving sewer service from NWWA, the sewer rates will also increase by 15%.
