As the community's infrastructure ages, significant utility repairs will be needed in the future. Beginning in 2018, the city increased water rates for the first time in a decade and continued to make additional incremental increases since that time. To continue building funds for utility infrastructure operational and renewal and replacement costs, additional rate increases were approved by the City Council for 2023.
Increases
- A $1 per quarter increase to the water administration fixed fee for all water users.
- A 20-cent per 1,000 gallons increase to the water rate for each of the five usage tiers.
- The commercial and homeowner association (HOA) irrigation rate increases from $3.50 to $4 per 1,000 gallons.
- A $1.20 per quarter city sanitary sewer flat rate increase for residential accounts (a 45-cent increase for commercial accounts).
