Water Fee Update
We understand that rate increases are never easy, and we want to be transparent about why this decision was made.
Williamsburg's Water Enterprise operates independently from the town’s general government funds, meaning it must generate its own revenue to cover expenses. Over the past year, the costs of maintaining our water system have risen significantly. The 2025 Budget reflects increases in state-required water testing, compliance with EPA regulations for Lead and Copper Surveys, rising postage and software costs, personnel expenses, and critical water leak repairs.
Unfortunately, these necessary expenses have outpaced current revenues, making a water rate increase unavoidable to ensure we can continue providing safe, reliable water services to our residents. We recognize the financial impact this may have on households and want to assure you that we are committed to careful financial management while keeping rates as affordable as possible.
We appreciate your understanding and support as we work to maintain a stable and sustainable water system for our community. If you have any questions, please reach out—we’re here to listen.
