Water rates for general service will increase 3.2 percent effective August 1.

The Village last increased its water rates in 2010 by only 3% after several years of operating in a negative cash position, said Greendale Clerk-Treasurer Kathy Kasza. The rate increase was necessary to keep up with the costs of operating the utility. 

The Village of Greendale Water Utility will file an application on June 1 with the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSC) for authority to increase water rates. If applicable, Public Fire Protection and wholesale rates will also increase 3.2 percent.
