New rates proposed for the Urbanna water system will add $76,000 to the annual water fund reserve, said Bill Smith, town council member and water committee chair.
Urbanna’s water rates have not been raised since 2008, Smith told council during his presentation at the September 26 meeting. Council members will hold a public hearing on October 24 on the proposed water rate changes. If approved the new rates would take effect January 1, 2020.
