The amount of the increase is unfair and unwarranted. Please stop this increase

We moved here two years ago and the rate was fine until a higher- reading meter was installed; then our rate doubled. After adding the sewage rate to our water rate, we pay more than we paid in Roanoke County or people in Roanoke City and the water quality is not as good.

The increase is not justified as water quality is poor and other jurisdictions including at least one serviced by Central Water has cheaper rates.

I am in confusion as to how Central Water can charge me different amounts each month when they do not show any usage on my bill. One month it is $20.00, and the next month it is $46.00

Poor water quality and the highest rates in the area. Western Va Water Authority is far more superior in price, service and quality!

I recently moved to the area and am appalled at the poor water quality and rates compared to other local areas where I have lived. It is horrible!

This is a 190% increase in the basic water rate when compared to the old rate for the first 300 gallons.

Worst (hardest) water i have ever experienced. Has been tested twice and is off the charts for hardness. I have 3 water heaters that need to be replaced. Drains do not drain well due to hardness build up in plumbing. Have lived in Ashley for 12 years. Water company should be ashamed of this crap they sell as water. Its also a shame that we cannot get access to the water across 220 in Greenfield. Not happy with this company at all and they should be put out of business.

Horrible water indeed! It smells, it's so hard that even after having a water softener installed years ago, it still isn't any good. We want Western VA Water Authority to service our area instead!

The water is horrible. My faucets have hard water appliances so it's difficult to say what the piped look like at this point. Our rates are the only ones that went up? Pathetic!

Not only is the rate increase unjustified, no notification was given to customers. I personally called central water company several times with questions and never received a call back or my issue resolved.
