Notice to Griffith Water Utility Customers  

 

Charges to Griffith water customers for the water usage portion on utility bills will see a net increase of approximately 15%  beginning with the February bills

 

A slight decrease to water bills was applied because the utility receipts tax (URT) was eliminated by the Indiana General Assembly:

Per HEA 1002-2022, the utility receipts tax has been repealed and removed from rates and charges resulting in an approximately 1.12% reduction in the average residential monthly bill.

 

However, a net increase will be applied per Griffith Ordinance 2022-30. The new charges are outlined in the table below and are necessary because the Town's water supplier, Hammond Water Works, has greatly increased the amount it charges to each of its customer communities for potable water.   The cost for Griffith to purchase water from Hammond Water Works is currently 90% higher than before the increases.   By the year 2030, the increase from Hammond Water Works will be over 175% higher than before the increases. 

Griffith Water Utility has been able to absorb part of the rate increases from Hammond, but we are now forced to pass along the increase to our customers in order to keep the Griffith Water Utility solvent.  The last increase for Griffith water customers was implemented in the year 2013.  Please note this increase is only for the water usage portion of the utility bill.
