NOTICE OF WATER RATE INCREASE
On 12-07-2023, at the Hazleton City Authority Board meeting, a resolution was passed to increase all water rates by 12%. The last time water rates were raised was back in 2011. Unfortunately, increased expense costs across the board, along with increases in improvement projects, now require the rate adjustment. The water rate increase will take effect on January 01, 2024.
AVISO DE AUMENTO DE TARIFA DE AGUA:
El 7 de diciembre de 2023, en la reunión de la Junta de Autoridad de la Ciudad de Hazleton, se aprobó una resolución para aumentar todas las tarifas del agua en un 12%. La última vez que se aumentaron las tarifas del agua fue en 2011. Desafortunadamente, el aumento de los costos de gastos en todos los ámbitos, junto con los aumentos en los proyectos de mejora, ahora requieren el ajuste de las tarifas. El aumento de la tarifa del agua entrará en vigor el 01 de enero de 2024.
