LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — The Louisville Metropolitan Sewer District Board approved a preliminary 3.9% rate increase for all Jefferson County customers.
In a news release Tuesday, MSD said the new rate — if approved by the board July 27 after a 30-day public comment period — would go into effect Sept. 1.
The company said the increase would represent a $3.23 monthly increase to the average customer.
"MSD’s work protects the health, safety and quality of life of this community every single day," Ricky Mason, chair of the MSD board comprised of community members, said in a news release. "We do not take lightly anything that impacts household budgets. This proposal was carefully reviewed and balanced with the vital need for our community to be prepared to respond to historic flooding, maintain critical wastewater infrastructure, reduce sewer overflows and protect local waterways."
The board also approved a proposed 2% increase for Oldham County customers.
Last year, the board originally approved a 4.9% increase before backing down to 3.9%.
