Are Water Rates Increasing Too?
The wastewater rate increase will start in July, and City staff will follow that with a recommendation to the governing body to increase water rates in January of 2026. For the average water customer, who uses about 4,200 gallons per month, the water rate is expected to rise almost $2 per month in January, and each of the next four years so that by January of 2030 the average water bill will also be approximately $9 per month larger than it was at the beginning of 2025. In combination, the average water and wastewater bill will be $18 per month larger in July of 2034 than it was in 2025. It is worth noting that this amount will still be less than an inflation adjusted average bill from 2013. Stay tuned, more details on that proposed water rate increase and the reasons for it will be forthcoming.
