WATER RATE INCREASE

In response to an expected rate increase on water and sewer to be imposed by the City of Gastonia, the Town’s supplier, the Clover Town Council increased the Town rates by 4% for Clover’s customers effective January 1, 2010.  The Town has absorbed 19.4% in rate increases imposed by the City of Gastonia since 2003 and now finds it necessary to pass along the new increase to customers in order to continue successfully providing water and sewer service. 

Interested in community service?  There are blocks and streets in the Town of Clover that are available for adoption.  The Town's Adopt-A-Block program is open to any individual or group that will commit to collecting litter from the roadside four times a year for two years.  Join us in the fight against litter!! Call Town Hall at 222-9495 for more information.
