Impact analysis
Average residential bills rise about $13.80 per quarter ($4.60/month), roughly 6.16%.
All water customers benefit from more reliable mains, better fire flow, and continued lead service line work.
Ratepayers, especially low-usage households already hit by prior fixed-fee increases, absorb the higher variable charges.
