Every year, the survey gives the communities and the ratepayers a chance to compare their own rates to those of their neighbors. They can also see the long-term trends of their rate history. The input from all of the communities makes the survey rich in information and continually the most requested Advisory Board publication.<\/p>\n<p>For the 2020 calendar year, using the AWWA standard of 120 HCF per household usage annually, the average combined water and sewer bill for MWRA communities was $1,700. This is an increase of 2.26% from last year\u2019s combined bill of $1,662. In comparison, the average wholesale rate change for wholesale communities in June of 2019 was 3.02%. When factoring in local, state, and federal data, the average household usage in the MWRA service area is estimated to be 64.6 HCF a year with an average combined bill of $862.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gcdev3.com\/mwra\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/0-Combined2020.pdf\">Click here to view the survey!<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[et_pb_section admin_label=&#8221;section&#8221;][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;row&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_3&#8243;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;14&#8243; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;] For the past three decades, the Advisory Board has been tracking the retail rates for the 60 MWRA communities [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7893","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general","has-not-thumbnail"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gcdev3.com\/mwra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7893","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gcdev3.com\/mwra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gcdev3.com\/mwra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gcdev3.com\/mwra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gcdev3.com\/mwra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7893"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.gcdev3.com\/mwra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7893\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gcdev3.com\/mwra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7893"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gcdev3.com\/mwra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7893"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gcdev3.com\/mwra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7893"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
