Rates & Tariffs

schedule of rates and tariffs

Schedule of rates and tariffs are subject to change every 3-5 years. The most common reasons for increases include repairs, equipment upgrades, cost of living, improved customer service, and/ or operating costs. 

Water & Wastewater Utilities (WWU) is regulated by the Louisiana Public Service Commission who reviews and approves all rate increases. WWU is required to publish notices in each parish journal where its customers reside before implementing increases.
