BWSC prides itself on providing high-quality water and sewer services at the lowest possible cost to its ratepayers. Below are BWSC’s 2018 water and sewer rates. The following pages also include Special Fee Services and Fire Pipe Service Fees.
Rate revenues must cover the day-to-day expenses incurred to operate the water and sewer systems as well as to support ongoing BWSC maintenance and improvements that comply with federal and state agencies aimed at protecting health and protecting the environment. In addition, rate revenues also pay for the cost to purchase potable water and the transportation of wastewater from the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA). These overall approaches ensure a reliable and productive system.
