Turning off your paper bill may seem like a small action, but it can have a big impact.
According to PayItGreen, if one in five households in the U.S. switch to electronic bills, statements and payments, we could annually save:
151 million pounds of paper
8.6 million household garbage bags from going to the dump
2 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions
Enough gas to drive from New York to Los Angeles and back 918 times
12,000 acres of land from deforestation

Letter to our Membership concerning Water Rate Increase
After much deliberation and study, Parkland Light & Water Company has decided to increase the base fee for our water services effective May 1, 2012. All rate classes will be affected. For 5/8" residential customers the base fee will increase $1.80 per month. The consumption rate per unit of water will NOT increase. Your board and management continue to wrestle with the ever increasing upward pressure on the cooperatives rates while fulfilling our cooperative's mission of providing reliable and efficient service at the lowest cost, commensurate with sound financial and management principles'. Please be assured that your board and management do not take this rate increase or any rate increase lightly. We will continue to strive to provide quality service at the lowest possible cost ever mindful that we are owned by those we serve.
Sincerely;
Board and Management of Parkland Light & Water Company
