City of Colby Filing for Water Rate Increase

Friday, August 15th, 2025 -- 10:01 AM

This is to give notice that the City of Colby Municipal Water Utility will file an application on September 2, 2025, with the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSC), for authority to increase water rates.

Rates for general service will increase 3.0 percent. The increase is necessary to reduce the existing deficiency in present rates. The request is being made under Wis. Stat. 196.193.

Rate increases granted under this statute do not require a public hearing. The effect of the increase for some selected customers is shown below. Public Fire Protection and Wholesale rates (if applicable) will also increase 3.0 percent.

City of Colby Municipal Water Utility anticipates that this rate increase will go into effect on November 15, 2025. If you have any questions about the rate increase request, call the City of Colby Municipal Water Utility at (715) 223-4435.
