City of Alachua

The City of Alachua adjusted its rates for water and wastewater utility services effective May 1, 2010.  Public hearings were conducted by the City Commission on March 22, 2010 and April 12, 2010 to adopt these rates.  Prior to the rate adjustments, the City noticed the public hearings in a local newspaper on April 1, 2010 and April 8, 2010, on the City’s website, at City Hall, at the Alachua Post Office and at the Alachua Public Library.  However, an additional notice of the public hearing should have been included in the City’s utility billing process prior to any rate increase.
