Augusta -- The City of Augusta's water problems haven't improved in the past month.
Below average precipitation has made it even less likely that Santa Fe Lake and Augusta's City Lake could be recharged in time to supplement the city's water supply when usage demand increases in the spring.
Currently, barring a break in the main line, the city has enough water. The average daily usage has been well under 1.5 million gallons per day.

While it has faded from the news somewhat, the Mississippi last summer came very close to shutting down to barge traffic because water levels were so low. Well, things weren't really all that much better even back in December. The Mississippi just happens to be one of the more obvious places when a shortage of water begins to make itself felt.

he 5 percent system average water rate increase and updated rate structure approved by City Council in September 2012 will take effect with February 2013 water bills. The Council directed the City Manager to create a Joint Committee of three City Commissions, with input from the public, to develop recommendations for short and long-term financial plans to strengthen the financial stability of the Austin Water Utility. After a 6-month process which included 15 public meetings, and additional budget and rate hearings, the Council adopted the recommendations of the Joint Committee.
These Council approved recommendations aim to achieve a goal of 20% of total water revenue collected from fixed minimum charges. This will be accomplished by eliminating the current Revenue Stability Fee, and replacing it with:
Residential volume-based tiered minimum charge
Multifamily & Commercial meter-based fixed charge
Large Volume fixed charge
New Residential volumetric rate block intervals are designed to better reflect residential usage patterns and further enhance water conservation.
