*The above example represents a sample bill from a customer for a typical use of electric and water. Individual customers will have a different impact based on their own use of utility services.
The initial overall impact of the rate adjustments for a typical residential customer beginning with bills issued in June 2026 is estimated to be a net 17% total increase, which include electric, water and wastewater charges (actual percentage will vary by each customer’s usage profile), with smaller overall net increases in 2027 through 2029. The portion of the water rate increases implemented to fund lead service line replacements is planned to be temporary until the project is complete.
