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HEA 1002-2022, the utility receipts tax has been repealed and removed from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.
