Representatives of the Guernsey County Water Department met with commissioners this week to discuss a potential change in reconnection fees for customers who voluntarily disconnect service for at least a year.
Superintendent Jeff Alfman and office manager Rita McKnight discussed the potential changes for water rates with commissioners at their request.
A sewer reconnection fee of $360 would remain unchanged due to federal mandates for the county s system.
According to McKnight, the water department currently charges $420 (12 months at the base rate of $35) to reconnect water service shut off for at least a year.
Commissioners Jack Marlin and Dave Wilson questioned if such a fee was necessary.
