Starting on the March 2020 Water Bill you will notice a new water rate structure. This decision was made after an extensive water rate study conducted by the city and its engineers throughout 2019 to create a more consistent equitable approach based on consumption (rather than a combination of consumption and meter size); to plan for city water infrastructure maintenance, and replacement needs over the next ten years; as well as to encourage water conservation.
