Capital Projects Charge
The Capital Projects Charge was approved by the City Council on November 20, 2014, and became effective with the March 2015 bill. This charge will fund the following projects:
- Improved water pressure for fire protection in the Annis, Harold, Margaret, Paul, and Kings Rd. areas (more here)
- Upgrades to the Glen Park pump station
- Undergrounding the sewer line on Bayshore Blvd.
The City Council voted to implement the second of four Capital Fee Charges for the Utility Fund on October 6, 2022, which are being phased in over a 17-year period to pay for improvements to:
- The City’s aging water and wastewater systems such as an Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) system that will provide improved operational efficiency and allow customers to view near real-time consumption data
- The Glen Park Pump Station upgrade
- Ongoing water and sewer pipeline replacements
The cost of these projects above is $10,000,000. The rates are graduated based on springtime usage (mid-February - mid-June) which ensures lower water users will pay less than higher users. The adopted rates per unit(s) of water used during a 2-month billing cycle for 2015 and 2022 cycle follow:
| Previous Rate (Adopted 2014) | Current Rate (Adopted 2022) | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Units Used | Rate | Units Used | Rate |
| 0 | $10.00 | 0 | $20 |
| 1 | $12.50 | 1 | $25 |
| 2 | $15.00 | 2 | $30 |
| 3 | $17.50 | 3 | $35 |
| 4 | $20.00 | 4 | $40 |
| 5 | $22.50 | 5 | $45 |
| 6 | $25.00 | 6 | $50 |
| 7 | $27.50 | 7 | $55 |
| 8 | $30.00 | 8 | $60 |
| 9 | $32.50 | 9 | $65 |
