Wayland Patch 3/9/11: New Water Rates for Wayland Approved. Tuesday night the Board of Public Works unanimously voted to implement a new water rate structure that consolidates the current six tiers into four and does away with the capital assessment charge that would have cost each account $251 in FY12. The selected billing option implements a service charge of $112 per account to cover billing, metering and administrative costs; abolishes the capital assessment charge and the minimum use charge; and consolidates the current six tiers into four.
