New Utility Rates Reflected on November Bill

On July 12, 2022, the City Council adopted an updated utility rate model that anticipates a 4.5% annual rate increase for Fiscal Years (FY) 2024 - 2028. Staff reviews the utility rate model annually to ensure the rate adjustments are appropriate. The increase anticipated for FY 2024 was approved by Council at the September 12, 2023 meeting. The average residential customer will see an increase of $2.88 per month, but rates may vary based on usage.

In addition, the trash and recycling fees are scheduled to increase from $13.24 to $14.28, per the Town's contract with CWD.

The new utility rate went into effect on October 1 and will appear on the utility bill residents will receive in November. The CWD rate change took effect on November 1 and will be reflected on the December utility bill.
