Water & Sewer Rate Changes

As with your household budget the Department of Public Utilities has had to take a hard look at the challenges facing the bottom line. While doing so we are still committed to providing you with high quality water and sewer services. In order to meet the demands of unfunded regulatory changes, make repairs to an aging infrastructure, and meet the rising costs of operations the Department of Public Utilities has found it necessary to change the water and sewer rates. The City Council approved this change on February 26, 2013. You can learn more about the reasons for the rate change through the links on this page.
