It is the responsibility of the Department of Public Works - Water Division to maintain a consistent and adequate flow of water to the City from the City's water source at Berlin Pond. A new state of the art Water Treatment Plan was completed in fiscal year 2001.

User fees fund the Water Division. Water staff maintain hydrants for fire protection, construct water lines, maintain control valves and gates, flush hydrants annually, keep daily records on water quality and consumption, repair leaks and mains, operate the water treatment facility, oversee land management of the City's property in Berlin and support all systems associated with providing potable water to our customers. There are more than 3,000 water meters in the City of Montpelier and each meter is read quarterly.

The Montpelier City Council, sitting as the Water & Sewer Commissioners, determines water rates. Water rates are reviewed annually in the spring. The City Council has established a Water Rate Study Committee to make recommendations about the rate structure. We welcome your input in establishing these rates. For information about the current or proposed Water Department Budget, please contract the Finance Department as 223-9514. If you have a concern or question about your quarterly water bill, please contact the City Clerk's Office at 223-9500.
