| Winchester Sun -- WMU Article Clarification (5-10-13) |
The Winchester Sun reported in the headlines of Friday's, May 10, 2013 edition that the WMU Commission approved rate increases. The WMU Commission did not approve rate increases or take any action on information provided at the special called meeting May 9, 2013. The Commission reviewed information provided that detailed a rate increase from Kentucky River Authority (KRA) to WMU for withdrawal of raw water. KRA will increase fees to WMU beginning July 1, 2013 from $.06 per thousand gallons to $.13 per thousand gallons withdrawn. The KRA fee is shown as a line item on the water portion of WMU's utility bill and is a pass through cost to the customer. The fees collected are reimbursed to KRA and are used for rebuilding and improving the dams along the Kentucky River. Dam No. 10 provides the pool of water that is the supply for Winchester and the majority of Clark County.
It is expected that the WMU Commission will address the KRA rate increase approximately eight (8) months after the July 1, 2013 date. Should you have any questions or require additional information you can contact WMU's General Manager, Michael Flynn at (859) 744-5434.
