Water/Wastewater Rates

RATE STUDY

In FY 2020-2021, the Council authorized a Water Source and Water/Wastewater Rate Study for the purpose of planning for a long-term water services as well as evaluating the operations of the Water/Wastewater Fund, for maintenance and future growth needs.

The Water/Wastewater Fund is an enterprise fund and is often referred to as a "Utility Fund" for local governments. The Fund should be evaluated on a regular basis to ensure the associated fees for water and wastewater match the needs of the community, covers operation and maintenance costs, provides for system maintenance and plans for upgrades to the system.

For more information the Water/Wastewater Rate Study is available here.

We have also put together a Frequently Asked Question - Fact Sheet on the recent wastewater rate increase that went info effect on September 1, 2021. You can view that document here.

There have been several presentations in Council Meetings on the Rate Study. If you are interested in viewing the discussions, please click here and navigate to time marker 35:58 to watch a presentation.
