Notice of Rate Increase
Water Customers of the Belgium Municipal Water Utility
This is to give you notice that the Belgium Municipal Water Utility will file an application on January 27, 2025, with the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSC), for authority to increase water rates. Rates for general service will increase 4.1 percent. The increase is necessary to reduce the existing deficiency in present rates. The request is being made under Wis. Stat. 196.193. Rate increases granted under this statute do not require a public hearing. The effect of the increase for some selected customers is shown below. Public Fire Protection and Wholesale rates (if applicable) will also increase 4.1 percent.
Belgium Municipal Water Utility anticipates that this rate increase will go into effect on March 15, 2025. If you have any questions about the rate increase request, call the Belgium Municipal Water Utility at (262) 285-7931.
