Water/Sewer Utility Rate Increase
The Village of Oreana water /sewer rates are automatically increased 5% each year on January 1st. In addition, any increase by our water supplier (Village of Forysth) triggers an automatic rate increase of the same amount in Oreana.
The Village of Forsyth has notified us that they will be increasing their water rates by $1.35 per thousand gallons of water usage. As a result, Oreana water rates will be increased by $1.35 per thousand gallon, effective January 1st, 2026.
Combined, these increases will result in the following rates, effective January 1, 2026:
Water rates inside or outside the village:
(1) First 1,000 gallons per month: $35.08 minimum charge; and
(2) Over 1,000 gallons per month: $14.95 per each additional thousand gallons, pro-rated to actual usage
Sewer rates inside village:
(1) Minimum charge per user per month: $39.
(2) Usage charge per 1,000 gallons per month: $2.75 per each additional thousand gallons, pro-rated to actual usage.
