West Des Moines Water Works closes tap on rate hike
The West Des Moines Water Works board has determined that a rate increase will not be necessary in 2011 to support its $11 million budget.
“We believe it is especially important in this economic environment to do everything we can to keep rates affordable and stable,” said Jerry Stevens, Water Works general manager.
The department upgraded 36,509 feet of water mains this year and has replaced 22 miles of cast iron water mains since 1992. The current usage rate is $4.30 per 1,000 gallons, a flat rate for businesses and residents.
