- Rate structure
- Water rates include fixed customer/service charges and volumetric charges; the City adopted approximately 6% average water increases for 2026 and 2027. Recycled water and watershed-protection charges are separate rate components.

The 2026 adopted residential example lists $8.04 customer charge, $21.52 residential service charge, and $32.04 flow charge for a $61.60 monthly wastewater total before other services; exact account totals depend on dwelling classification and usage.
