Dear Town of Wilton utility customer,
This letter serves as a 30-day notice to inform you of the Town Council’s rate increase for customers with 1” & 2” water meters. These increases will appear on your October 2022 bill. The meter will be read on or around September 15, 2022 and the date due will be October 15, 2022.

The monthly water bill for a 2” meter will increase from $19.96 to $73.50 with usage up to 3,000 gallons of water. Additional step rates will be included with this notice. The former rates were based off of rates for ¾ inch house meters. Your property has a 1” or 2” meter.
