An increase in rates from the Township’s water provider will ensure that access to clean, safe water remains viable for decades to come.
The West View Water Authority Board of Directors approved a rate increase to monthly customer service charges and volume consumption charges. The increase became effective January 1, 2025. It is the first rate increase since 2022. Cranberry Township purchases all its water from West View. In response, Cranberry Township has increased customer rates to cover these rising costs.
“We understand the need for increased rates, and we also understand the impact it has on our residents,” said Bruce Hezlep, Board of Supervisors Vice Chairman. “But we also put much energy and thought into ensuring we’re providing a safe, clean product to our residents, and we know West View shares that goal.”
The Township has been aggressive in seeking grant funds to support and sustain the water system and has thus far secured over $2 million.
