MV Water Authority customers will pay more next year

Water rates will go up 5% next year for the Mohawk Valley Water Authority’s 128,000 customers in Oneida and Herkimer counties. The board unanimously approved the increase without discussion as well as a Fiscal Year 2027 budget of $32.6 million at its meeting on Oct 19 at Utica City Hall. The vote followed a public hearing on the proposed rate hike on Oct. 14, at which some residents criticized the rate hike. The hike works out to about $1.92 a month or $23 a year for the average household, according to the MVWA. The rate hike is one of the remedies the board is using to address rising costs for water treatment, debt service, operations, employee health coverage and state pension plan payments. Water consumption is not expected to increase next year.
