STONINGTON, CT – The Water Pollution Control Authority has raised its rates by 5 percent, which will affect residents’ bills next year, the Westerly Sun reported.

The authority said residents’ bills will not see an increase on their bills until February, according to the Westerly Sun. The rate increase is the second of two 5 percent increases since January.
