Middleboro residents will see a 10.3 percent increase in their water rates effective immediately thanks to the unusually wet spring and summer, which caused water revenue to fall. Town Manager Charles J. Cristello, who recommended the rate increase, said water use was down 20 percent this year. Cristello said despite a $200,000 surplus in water revenue last year, he is projecting a deficit of more than $300,000 for this fiscal year if the rates remained the same.
