Proposed Rate Adjustments & Prop 218 Public Notice
While the City continually strives for cost reductions and better utilization of the assets it holds, it also needs to keep pace with inflation, drinking water and sewer discharge regulations, and other cost increases. The City contracted with an independent consultant to complete a cost of service analysis and is considering making changes to the current water and sewer rates. Arcadia's water and sewer rates are among the lowest in the area and will remain so, even with the proposed rate adjustments.
A public hearing will be held on February 2, 2021 to consider implementing a schedule of increases to the water and sewer rates. A revised public notice detailing the proposed rates has been sent to water and sewer customers as well as property owners. The new rates, if adopted, will become effective and operative for water use and bills sent after February 2, 2021, and will be increased as provided herein each January 1 thereafter, through and including January 1, 2025.
