Water and sewer rates in Cranberry Township are going to increase.
The changes include a base-rate increase, along with a .63 cent increase per thousand gallons in water usage. There will also be a $1 increase per thousand gallons for sewer usage. That works out to about a $3 increase per month for water and around $12 increase for sewage monthly.
Township officials say the rate hike is necessary in order to deal with increasing operation and maintenance costs along with planned capital projects in the next several years.
