Initiate a rate review of Milcrofton Utility District


Initiate a rate review of Milcrofton Utility District
The Issue
The 4,500 customers of Milcrofton Utility District located in Williamson County, Tennessee, have endured exorbitant rates and unfair billing practices for far too long.
PLEASE NOTE: Each signature must be from the person listed on the account at the district office in order to be considered valid.
Below is a comparison of Milcrofton's rates verses several neighboring water districts.
COST FOR 10,000 GALLONS OF WATER
Milcrofton Utility District - $62.40
City of Brentwood - $44.18
City of Franklin - $48.20
Mallory Valley Utility District - $50.00
Nolensville/College Grove Utility District - $58.37

In addition to higher rates, other billing practices and fees exceed other area providers. For example, Milcrofton charges $3,000 for an irrigation submeter. This cost is nearly 2x the cost of an irrigation meter from a neighboring district (source).
Milcrofton also double-bills customers service fees upon the transfer of service. Instead of either prorating or waiting for a full billing cycle to elapse, Milcrofton bills full fees on partial months for both the seller and buyer, thereby double billing the same service address during that period of time.
This petition must be signed by ten percent (10%) of the customers of the district in order for a rate review to initiate. Click here for more details.
