Aquarion Water Co will be allowed to increase water usage rates 33%. Along with Stamford and Ridgefield, New Canaan's rate hike is the biggest in the state. While Norwalk, Weston, Westport, Fairfield and Bridgeport will increase 15%, Greenwich and Darien will only increase 11%. These increases are to cover infrastructure improvements statewide since 2004.
While 33% does seem like a very large increase, it relates to an average of $29 each quarter. The last rate increase was granted in 1999 by the state Department of Public Utility Control, however, State Attorney General Richard Blumenthal may appeal increase as "unreasonable".
It almost seems that people who live in New Canaan are perceived as being able to afford more of an increase that people in other towns. These increases are to take place effective immediately.
