SUMMARY:
In order for City Council to consider raising utility rates, there must first be a posting and newspaper publishing of the attached Notice of Intent to Increase Water, Wastewater, and Solid Waste rates and the supporting report. The notice informs the public that a public hearing will be held on March 8, 2023, at 6:00 p.m. in Council Chambers. If passed by City Council on March 8, the rates would take effect on April 27, 2023. The schedule of the proposed increases and the report supporting the increases will be available on file with the City Clerk and on the City's website. The notice complies with notice procedures required by the state statutes A.R.S. § 9-599.15 and A.R.S. § 9-499.15.
The increases are necessary for infrastructure and capital improvements to the utility system so that quality service can continue and be provided to the growing community.
