Stokes approves water-rate increase
Small businesses and residents to be affected
DANBURY (Winston-Salem Journal) - Stokes County commissioners unanimously approved last night an increase in the water rate for Danbury residents and small businesses.
Residents and small businesses will pay $20 each month for up to 3,000 gallons of water and an additional $5.75 for every 1,000 gallons after that. The rate increase is effective Sept. 1.
Last year, they paid $13.50 for up to 3,000 gallons.
After the town spent about $20,000 of its savings because costs ran over budget, town officials requested an increase for residents and small businesses.
State-mandated spending, employee certifications, chemicals, repairs, salaries and service contracts put the town over its budget, Mayor Jane Priddy-Charleville said.
