Utility Rate Update | Town of Westernport, MD

At its December 8, 2025 meeting, the Mayor and Commissioners of the Town of Westernport adopted resolutions approving adjustments to water, sewer, and garbage rates.

Water & Sewer Rates (Effective July 1, 2026) Water and sewer rates for both in-town and out-of-town customers will increase beginning July 1, 2026. These adjustments are required to meet Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) financial sustainability requirements associated with the Town’s Phase 5–7 Water System Improvement Project. The updated rates support long-term system operation, maintenance, and debt service for required infrastructure upgrades.

Garbage Rates (Effective January 1, 2026) Residential garbage collection rates will increase effective January 1, 2026, due to higher service costs under the Town’s newly awarded garbage collection contract. The new garbage rate will appear on the first utility billing cycle that includes January 2026.

In-Town Customers: $24.00 per household per month
Out-of-Town Customers: $25.00 per household per month

The full Water, Sewer, and Garbage Rate Schedule is available on the Town’s website under documents. Residents with questions may contact Town Hall for additional information.
