The increase in rates reflects the rising cost of providing water and electric services and the need to create lasting transformations that make our energy and water infrastructure more reliable and sustainable moving forward.

On January 1, 2026, the proposed rate increases are 9.9% for electricity and 14% for water. Average customer bill increases will depend on the customer class (residential, commercial, etc.) and the amount of water or electricity consumed. Average single-family residential bill increases for water and electric service will generally be higher than the system average increases.
