INVESTING IN EFFICIENCY

On Wednesday, July 3, the Flagstaff City Council adopted a resolution and ordinance to increase potable water, sewer, and reclaimed water rates and fees. The rates will increase over a five-year period to adequately fund water infrastructure projects, operations, maintenance, and debt repayment contained in the five-year capital improvement program for Flagstaff Water Services.

The approved rates are listed in the tables below.

The Water, Reclaimed Water, and Wastewater Cost-of-Service Rates and Fees Study Report and Appendices present the detailed analyses used to support the findings of the Cost-of-Service Rates and Fees Study completed for the Water, Reclaimed Water, and Wastewater Funds of the City of Flagstaff’s Water Services Division by Stantec Consulting Services Inc.

The Rate Study is an opportunity to evaluate whether all customer classes are paying their proportional share of the cost of providing you with water, sewer, and reclaimed water services. It is also an opportunity to adjust for revenue shortfalls. Check out these resources for more information.

These resources are provided to help communicate the needs of Water Services (strategic plan), how we determine our infrastructure needs (master plans), our guiding principals (water policies), data we use to inform technical studies (report to the water commission), and an explanation of a typical residential Municipal Services Bill.
