Good News for the coming year, NO WATER RATE INCREASE FOR 2024.

The Water Authority Board of Directors approved the 2024 Operating Budget at a meeting held Wednesday December 20th, and were pleased to report the budget reflects no rate increase.

The 2024 budget offers revenue projections of $5,279,721 with operating expenses of $3,568,585 and the debt service requirements of $1,342,523 which would provide $368,613 to be available for transfer to the Bond Redemption and Improvement Funds (i.e. for capital expenditures).  The foregoing budget would have a debt service coverage ratio of 1.27 (net revenue/debt service requirement). The bond indenture requires a coverage of 1.20.

Watershed and Reservoirs

The Bradford City Water Authority has three (3) surface water reservoirs that serve the Bradford Water System. The Marilla and Gilbert Reservoirs are open to public use. Recreational activities such as trail walking/hiking, canoeing/kayaking, and fishing are permitted at our Marilla Reservoir and similar activities exist at our Gilbert Reservoir, with the exception of fishing, which is currently catch-and-release only until the population and fish size are appropriate. (Fires, camping, swimming, littering, ATV’s and any unauthorized vehicles are prohibited throughout the watershed and all reservoirs). 

However, the Heffner Reservoir on West Corydon Street is the primary water source and has always been restricted to public use for the safety of both the reservoir and the public. This includes no fishing. We want to remind everyone that the immediate property at and around the Water Treatment Plant and Heffner Reservoir is posted NO TRESPASSING.

Please observe these rules for your safety and the safety of our primary drinking water source.

For more information please stop by our offices at 28 Kennedy Street.

Thank You,
Bradford City Water Authority Board of Directors
