Utility Rate Increase Reminder
July 2025
Per Ordinance 2023-07, a 5% rate increase for water was implemented, for three years. Customers will see the 3rd year rate increase on their July 2025 utility invoice.
Raising utility rates is never an easy decision for Monroeville's Village Council to make. While the entire administration is proud to achieve positive results from the infrastructure investments and upgraded technologies with the current water and sewer rates, in order to ensure continued exceptional service and commitment to the community, the decision to raise these rates became necessary. In addition to the major water and sewer infrastructure projects that have been accomplished recently, and are projected to continue as necessity requires and as the Ohio EPA mandates them, this administration is determined to continue the efforts to improve productivity, efficiency, and reliability of the Village's water and sewer services. Along with increased skills from our dedicated employees, who are committed to deliver on water and wastewater quality service, the administration has endeavored to find cost savings at every opportunity to mitigate being outpaced by costs of raw material, chemicals, production and general overhead administrative and insurance costs.
As always, we are in this together and continue to look for ways to be fiscally responsible and serve all those who live and work here to the best of our ability.
