ECUA Approves Water, Sewer Rate Hike
November 1, 2011
ECUA has formally approved a 7 percent rate increase Monday for water and sewer customers that takes effect today.
The rate increase was part of a three-year rate hike plan approved last year. Each portion of the increase must be approved yearly following a public hearing.
The Emerald Coast Utilities Authority Board approved the rate hike on a 3-1 vote, with Larry Walker, Elvin McCorvey and Elizabeth Campbell voting in favor and Dale Perkins against. Board member Lois Benson was absent from Monday’s meeting.
The rate hike does not impact customers of smaller water companies in the North Escambia area, nor does it impact residents of the Town of Century.

WOW….Every other day we have to boil our water and these Idiots want to increase the cost.Give me a break….Everyone should just get a well dug.and be through with these thieves
Ya’ll to the south shouldn’t complain too much, at least you have the benefit of the services.
Most of us in the north end of the county don’t have access to ECUA sewer or water, but we do get to enjoy the smell of all ya’lls sewage.
WoW increase but ,water test was done last year was bad ,you have not inprove the system,everyone pays to much for such a bad system out dated.
that’s right make our bills higher so we can’t pay them because instead of hiring citizens to work they hire prisoners. More water getting turned off then getting paid
