Good news for Willmar water users with expected rate hike eased by financing treatment plant in-house

It was reported earlier this summer that water rates for the city of Willmar were expected to increase 20% for each of the next three years and another 5% in the year 2026 due to having to finance the construction of the addition to the Northeast Water Treatment Plant. However, Willmar Municipal Utilities has found a way to finance the project in-house to significantly decrease the expected rate spikes.
