Bluffton’s water usage decreased by 15.5 percent this year due to Bluffton University, Bluffton schools and businesses shut down due to covid-19.
David Steiner of the council utility committee appraised council of that fact on Monday.
The cost of water production allocated to Bluffton is $550,304 compared to last year’s cost of $549,355.
The Bluffton rate per 100 cubic foot of water will increase from $2.06 to $2.44 due to the decreased volume of water spread over approximately the same fixed costs of production.
