Rates
The Springfield Water and Sewer Commission sets rates for water and sewer services in accordance with its Rules and Regulations. The fiscal year runs from July 1 - June 30. Your water and sewer payments help fund infrastructure improvements, enable compliance with unfunded state and federal regulatory mandates, and rising operations and maintenance costs. The Commission's rates are comparable or lower than other utilities in Massachusetts and the region, while also delivering on generational-scale infrastructure renewal. A gallon of Commission water costs about $0.69 per gallon delivered to your home.
