Effective January 2022, customers using MORE than the 2000 gallon minimum, the current rate of $5.00 per thousand will increase to $6.00 per 1000 gallons. This is an increase of $1.00 from 2021. As sewer is billed at 100% of water usage, if applicable to your account, sewer charges will reflect this same increase. For customers who maintain a minimum water bill which is 2000 gallons or less, there will be no changes to the current charges. The increases will be reflected on all customers February 2022 bills. The Winfield Water Works & Sewer Board uses its best efforts in controlling its costs in order to keep its rates as low as possible. This rate increase was approved last year as part of a multi-year plan which was financially mandated due to ongoing upgrades of the water filtration and sewer treatment system. These upgrades, which are regulated by EPA and required by ADEM, ensure our system will continue to satisfy the mandated requirements and regulations while allowing us to maintain and improve services to meet the needs of our community. If you have any questions about the new rate or new policies, feel free to contact our office at (205) 487-2100.
