Water Rates

The Department of Environmental Protection requires adequate funding to operate and maintain the Town’s water system. 

In order to make necessary upgrades to our water system and maintain our standard of water quality, including projected upgrades, the Lancaster Board of Public Works voted to increase the water rates, effective beginning with April 1st, 2016 invoices.
