Summary
St. Albans is raising water and sewer rates to overhaul a century-old system plagued by leaks and breakdowns—replacing pipes, upgrading treatment plants, and swapping out every water meter. Phased increases aim to ease the burden, with the first hike hitting July 16th, as the city fights to keep utilities under local control and resilient against extreme weather. Critics worry about the impact on low-income and elderly residents amid rising costs, but the city offers resources to help. For details or assistance, call 304-722-3391.
