Council considers CPI-based sewer charge increase for Abalone Cove residents
Summary
Mayor Paul Seo said the council considered a CPI increase to the annual sewer service charge for the Abalone Cove system; he emphasized the charge applies only to Abalone Cove residents and supports aging storm drain and sewer maintenance.
Mayor Paul Seo said councilmembers reviewed a proposal to adjust the annual sewer service charge for the Abalone Cove system by a CPI-based increase and that only Abalone Cove residents would pay the change.
"So the folks that live there pay for it," the mayor said, noting the increase is built into the system as a CPI adjustment and is intended to fund operation and maintenance of aging storm drains and sewers. He warned that sewer failures could lead to red-tagging of areas if infrastructure is not properly maintained.
Mayor Seo framed the adjustment as routine but important maintenance financing rather than a surprise new fee. He did not provide the specific percentage change, only that the adjustment would follow CPI.
