Wholesale water contracts with three towns

Hagerstown

Summary

Smithsburg, Williamsport and Funkstown buy water wholesale at a 16% contract discount, yet their residents end up paying more per unit than if they bought directly as outside-city customers. The city plans to review those rates separately after the general rate decision.
