summary
Summary Explanation/Background:
Due to a volumetric rate increase of 14.8% imposed by Broward County, the Utilities Department had to reassess the previously approved rate from November 2023. This increase has led to an overall rise of 8.4% in the City's wastewater treatment costs, amounting to approximately $1 million. Because of these unexpected increases, the City’s original proposed increase of 4% will not be sufficient to meet the operating and capital needs of the wastewater utility. As a result, the Utilities Department recommends an increase from 4% to 7.5% for FY 2025 to FY 2029
Origin of request for this action: Utilities
