PUBLIC RATE HEARING:
Thank you for sharing your comments on the MVWA’s proposed rate increase of 2%, or about 67 cents per month for the average household. Your input has been shared with the Board of Directors for careful consideration before they vote on the matter. As always, the Board strives to find a workable balance between the need to keep water use affordable through modest periodic increases vs. fulfilling the responsibility to maintain an aging pipe system for future generations.

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY:
The Mohawk Valley Water Authority (MVWA) is reassuring the public that the drinking water supply is safe.

Scientific research conducted by federal and international agencies indicates our current disinfection process and chlorine dosage is effective at preventing the spread of this virus through drinking water.
