Beginning July 1st 2022, community members will see an increase on their utility bill. This rate increase will be reflected on the utility bill mailed out at the end of July. The utility rate increases are as follows:

· Water—$2.00

· Sewer—$1.00

· Storm Drainage—$2.00

· Blue Heron Stormwater—$1.00

The last utility rate took place in June of 2019. In 2020 and 2021 City Council made the decision not to increase rates for any utilities to avoid increasing the financial burden of households impacted by Covid-19. In the last two years operating costs and materials for infrastructure projects have steadily increased requiring The City to increase rates this year.
