Under the proposed revisions, the rate increase would be spread equally across all rate classes.
Freeport has requested this rate change due to mandatory increases in contractual wages, increased insurance and pension costs, inflation and general increases to the upkeep of the utility.
Details of these changes may be found in the revised Schedule P.S.C. No. 9, a copy of which may be consulted at Village Hall, 46 N. Ocean Ave., Freeport, New York 11520.
