Dear Customer
Inflation continues to affect everyone throughout the country. It also has an impact on businesses as well as state and local governments. Everything from fuel costs to the things purchased at the store are rising. Macedonia-Eylau is no exception to these cost issues. Labor costs, material and equipment costs, and equipment repair expenses are increasing.
Macedonia-Eylau receives its water supply from Texarkana Water Utilities, and Texarkana Water has informed us that they will be increasing the rates for which they charge us. As a result, we have no choice but to increase rates to keep up with the rising prices. Therefore, we will increase rates beginning with the monthly bill that will be mailed out to customers on December 25, 2024, due in January.
