Huntsville City Council Approves New Water Rates for Huntsville Utilities Customers

On September 14, at the regularly scheduled meeting of the Huntsville City Council, council members unanimously approved an adjustment to the water rates for Huntsville Utilities customers.

These new rates only impact the water portion of customers' bills, and only those customers who get their water from Huntsville Utilities (Huntsville Utilities acts as the billing agent for Madison City and New Hope, but these rates do no impact those customers).

The table below shows the new rates compared to the old rates.
