- Belmont implements water rate hike to address distressed utility status
Belmont implemented an 8% water rate increase to address its designation on the state’s distressed utilities list, which was linked to growth outpacing infrastructure. The city has established interconnects with Gastonia and Mt. Holly for emergency water supply stability and secured a $10 million loan to improve its water intake system in the Catawba River.
