Due to increasing water costs and an aging water system, the Village of Montrose would’ve had to implement a $9.75/month water rate increase (85% increase) to cover infrastructure improvement expenses.
The City reached out to EJ to set up an emergency water interconnect. Now, the partnership has grown and we are now in the process of getting all the easements in order for EJ to be the City of Coffeen's sole water supply.
Not only does this partnership help the Village of Coalton maintain affordable rates, but it also ensures long-term affordable rates for all of the EJ Co-Op members by utilizing grants and economies of scale.
In 2020, after 8 years of partnership, MCWC board and members decided that formally joining EJ Water was the best decision to help keep rates affordable in their community.
