PUBLIC NOTICE TO ALL CUSTOMERS OF THE TOWN OF HOLLAND SANITARY DISTRICT #1

The Town of Holland Sanitary District #1 has filed an application with the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSCW) to increase water rates. The increase is necessary due to a 10.64 percent increase in gross plant investment and a 34.63 percent increase in operating expenses since the last water rate case was completed in 2010.

The total increase in water revenues requested is $33,725 which will result in an estimated overall rate increase of 20.51 percent over the water utility’s present revenues. If the request is granted, the water bill for an average residential customer with a 5⁄8-inch or 3⁄4-inch meter who uses 10,000 gallons of water per quarter will increase from $58.70 to $75.20, or 28%.

A public hearing on the application has been scheduled for Tuesday, October 31, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. This hearing has no physical location. Parties and Commission staff appear by Zoom. Parties and Commission staff may use the telephone connection as a backup or if no practicable internet connection exists. Members of the public attend by Zoom or by audio-only telephone connection.
