Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
Residents should expect higher water and sewer user fees in FY2027. The Sewer Improvement Fee applies to new sewer connections or changes that increase wastewater use, such as adding bedrooms; projects already in the pipeline may lock in the current rate by July 1, 2026. The department also warned that problems at two water supplies could lead to a complete outdoor water-use ban if they are not restored before peak demand.
