CWLP provides retail water service to two adjacent communities as well as
to certain nearby unincorporated areas. Wholesale service is provided to several other
nearby communities. Wholesale water sales provide value to both our Springfield and our
wholesale water customers. The outlying communities are assured a reliable source of
reasonably priced, high-quality drinking water, while the profits earned by CWLP from
these sales help to keep rates as low as possible for our Springfield customers.
Retail
service is provided to Southern View, Leland Grove, and the unincorporated areas mentioned
above. Basic water rates for retail customers are 30% higher than those charged to
customers inside Springfield's corporate limits. (Southern View customers also pay an
additional 5% to cover the village's municipal utility tax.) This rate differential is
justified based on water industry cost of service and rate design principles. Wholesale service is provided to Chatham, Grandview, Jerome, Loami, Rochester, the
Sugar Creek Public Water District, and the Williamsville-Sherman Water Commission. These
communities purchase water in bulk from CWLP and serve as the water supplier to their
residents. The rate each of these wholesale customers is charged is based on a specific
formula built into that customer's contract with CWLP. Last update : 01/07/08 Top Water Division Water Purification CWLP Contact Info City of Springfield Home
