The final Public Input Hearing for our proposed 2016-2017 rate increase was held at City Hall on April 7, 2016. If you were unable to attend one of the five public hearings, you can still submit comments by contacting the Philadelphia Water, Sewer, and Stormwater Rate Board, an independent board created by voters to set water rates.

Written comments must be submitted by April 18.

Please send email to:

WaterRateBoard@phila.gov

Or send written testimony to this address:

Philadelphia Water also created a customer information packet explaining the rate request and what your water bill pays for.
