Utility Rates and Infrastructure Funding

At several public meetings over the past two years, and at recent budget workshops, the City has discussed the need to adjust water and wastewater utility rates. These adjustments are necessary to meet required federal mandates and fund needed improvements. These rates would go into effect for bills issued after June 1, 2026. 

In 2024, the City updated the comprehensive master plans for its Water and Wastewater Utilities to guide long-term investment and system reliability. The plans identified three critical priorities to ensure the continued delivery of high-quality services to the community:

  1. Replace lead water service lines
  2. Replace aging infrastructure 
  3. Increase water and wastewater system capacity to support long-term community growth and development
