Greeneville Water Commission Rates Increase For Water/Sewer Services Effective July 1st - WGRV.com
The Greeneville City Council held a Public Hearing Tuesday to increase water and sewer service rates and charges for the Town of Greeneville. The increase was approved on second reading.
The Greeneville Water Commission has the responsibility of constructing, maintaining, and operating the water and sanitary system for the town. GWC stated the increase was necessary and recommended in order for each system to be self-supporting after data from a study.
According to Superintendent Laura White, Greeneville residents will see a total increase of about $15 over the next three years for water and sewer services, ranging at around a $5 increase per year. The increase will reportedly go toward several capital projects, allow hiring for more positions, and go toward salary increases depending on employee evaluations.
The rates and charges approved are effective beginning July 1st, 2024. The approved rates and charges are available on WGRV.com.
