Water and Sewer Rate Adjustments

Water and Sewer Rates will be adjusted over a three-year period. Water rates and sewer rates are charged at different levels because the costs associated with operating the water system and the sewer system are different. The adjustment for the combined rate for the first year is 7.8 percent. The impact on the average water and sewer bill will be $3.76.
