Current Water Rates
The Reedsburg Utility Commission is continually seeking ways to maintain low water rates, so it is important for us to maintain minimal water losses. This requires preventative maintenance programs, which includes locating water leaks, replacing leaky water mains and service lines. The Utility is also dedicated to conduct proper upgrades when necessary, to the mains, wells, reservoirs and meters.
The water distribution system consists of a network of over 67 miles of water mains and over 652 fire hydrants. Activities such as water main and service repair, valve maintenance, upkeep of meters, well houses, pumping equipment, and hydrant maintenance are necessary to support the distribution system.
