December 2009, Authored by the TA C Rates Work Group 1 DWSD Rates A New Regional Paradigm Working Together to Manage Water Rates This document was published through a collaborative effort of the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (DWSD), a not-for-profit agency, and the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) Rates Work Group. December 2009 The purpose of this document is to help you understand why your water rates have been increasing and what you and your community can do to slow the increase. The primary cause of these rate increases can be found in declining water usage by households and businesses. As everyone in this region knows, we have been in a recession since 2002. During much of this period, water rates have increased. Unfortunately, as our economy has fallen into what many call a “One State Depression,” more rate hikes will be needed to sustain viable and financially responsible utilities and local community water departments. A new paradigm of collaboration, peak hour demand management, and responsibility (CPR) will be needed to navigate through this storm. We must continue to work together to manage water rates and breath new life into a region that depends on a reliable water infrastructure to grow and become stronger.
