Council restores non-residential water block rate and approves five-year culinary rate schedule
Summary
After 18 months of analysis, Council approved a five-year culinary water rate schedule and restored the 2027 Block 2 non-residential rate to $3.53. Council also directed staff to revise proposed mapping fees to a one-time $75 change fee.
City staff presented a five-year culinary water rate schedule developed with Bowen Collins & Associates and recommended annual review through the fee schedule process. Staff noted the city's last comprehensive rate update occurred in 2018; the Council approved restoring the originally proposed 2027 Block 2 non-residential rate to $3.53 per unit as recommended after additional review.
Council members also questioned a proposed annual irrigation mapping renewal fee; Mayor Pro Tem Clark Taylor and others supported replacing it with a one-time $75 mapping change fee to be charged when property owners request remapping. The Council adopted Resolution No. 2026-06-27R amending culinary utility fees (effective July 1, 2026) and later incorporated the mapping-fee change into the FY2026-27 general fee schedule (Resolution No. 2026-06-29R).
