The LaVale Sanitary Commission approved a rate increase at its October 9 meeting. The rate increase was primarily attributed to the recent rate increases by the City of Cumberland for the treatment of sewage and escalating water costs. The Commission has not had a rate increase since September 2008. An example of the changes to a customer per 1000 gallons of water per month are as follows: Current Billing effective January billing Residential Water = $6.34 Water = $6.65 Sewer = $6.85 Sewer = $7.54 Sewer ONLY = $28.52 Sewer ONLY = $31.38 Commercial Water = $6.34 Water = $6.65 Sewer =$8.20 Sewer = $9.18 Sewer Only = $28.52 Sewer Only = $31.95
