January 2013
Effective January 1, 2013,
the MPWC will be adjusting
water rates to achieve a nominal
3 percent increase in revenues.
For the average
customer who owns and resides
in a single-family home,
this will amount to less than
50 cents per month!
Since 1926, the MPWC has
proudly adhered to their mission
of providing the highest
quality of water at the least
possible cost to its rate payers.
With changing treatment
technologies, increased regulations
for compliance, and
certain infrastructure components
nearing 100 years old,
we have managed to maintain
a rate structure that is affordable
and yet allows us to
continue maintaining your
water distribution system in
efficient and proper working
order. You can see by the rate
comparison chart shown here,

A Message from Michael Saraceni, Chief Operating Officer
this has not changed.
The primary necessity of
the increase in water rates is
for ongoing support to our
ten-year capital infrastructure
maintenance and upgrade
program. In 2012, the MPWC
repaired and refinished the
1,000,000-gallon elevated
Woodbine Avenue water
tank, replaced older and failing
water mains and replaced
filter media at one of our
treatment plants (increasing
efficiency and water quality).
We also have been performing
a water meter replacement
initiative designed to
upgrade technology to
“radio-read,” alleviating the
necessity of accessing properties
for readings and at the
same time improving accuracy
to account for all water
usage.
For 2013, we will be refinishing
the 3,000,000-gallon el-
