Proposed 2027 Nelsonville Water & Sewer Rates: What Customers Should Know
The City of Nelsonville has worked with the Great Lakes Rural Community Assistance Program, (RCAP), a nonprofit that helps communities plan for safe, reliable water and sewer service, to review the city’s utility finances and plan for the next five years. RCAP is recommending small, predictable increases of 4% per year from 2027 through 2031, rather than large jumps.
Water / Sewer Service Deposit Adjustment
In conjunction with ordinance number 79-26, the city will now require a deposit of $150 for new customers.
These changes will go into effect October 28th, 2026.
This deposit is refundable upon termination of the account once the account has been paid in full.
The Nelsonville Water Department is working on a 10-inch water main leak on West Columbus Street. As part of the repair efforts workers will need to shut off one of the city’s water reservoirs. Nelsonville water system customers may experience low water pressure until the water main is repaired, and the water reservoir is reopened.
Please do not call the Nelsonville water office about this low water pressure. Thank you for your assistance and understanding.
The City of Nelsonville is happy to offer a two-tier water loss abatement program again this year to help customers in a water leak emergency. Up to $500.00 in water leak coverage for a $30.00 annual fee, or up to $1,000.00 in water leak coverage for a $50.00 annual fee.
The Nelsonville Water Department has issued a boil order for all customers on East Franklin Street and Fort Street from West Washington Street to East Franklin Street until 5:00PM, Wednesday, April 24, 2024.
