Surprise sanitation rates rising by a dime July 1
Planned 10 cent increase to take effect soon
Posted
Surprise sanitation customers will see a change on their city utility statement beginning July 1 as a rate increase determined by a structured schedule is implemented.
Beginning July 1, single-family solid waste (trash) customers will pay a monthly base rate of $23.50; an increase of 10 cents per month.
The rate will increase by a dime each fiscal year through fiscal year 2024, bringing the rate to $23.70 on July 1, 2023. Residential water and wastewater utility rates will remain unchanged.
The Utility Rate Study, approved in February 2019, created a five-year structured schedule to obtain revenue required to operate utilities and maintain infrastructure while also considering asset replacement and emergency funding needs.
Customers who have pre-arranged or automatic payments with their financial institution are urged to update their accounts to reflect changes to their utility rate.
