Water & Sewer Utility Rates To Increase July 1

Please be aware that there will be a utility rate increase effective July 1. The City and Borough of Juneau Assembly, in August of 2019, approved increases to both the water and sewer utility rates. The 2% rate increase will go into effect July 1. Find the new rates on the CBJ Utilities Division’s Current Utility Rates page.

Please expect the changes to your billing statements. All Bill-Pay customers will need to update their accounts to reflect the new rates in order to stay current. Following the July 1 increase, there will be a subsequent 2% increase in July 2024.

These increases keep pace with inflationary cost increases. Revenue generated goes toward costs for operating and maintaining major water and wastewater infrastructure systems, debt financing from Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) loans, and capital projects directed at failing infrastructure or regulatory compliance. See relevant adopted ordinances and associated documents on the Historical Rate Information page.

For more information, contact the Utility Office at (907) 586-0898, extension 4201.

Douglas Island Wastewater Lift Station Returns to Normal Operation

CBJ crews have successfully fixed the main pump at the Douglas Island Lift Station.

The pump is back on line and providing the necessary pressure to transport wastewater from Douglas Island over the bridge to the Juneau Douglas Wastewater Treatment plant. CBJ ceased discharging wastewater to the channel around 1 p.m.

Improvements to this lift station are a high priority for the Utility and both the Douglas Island and Outer Drive Lift Stations are scheduled for complete rehabilitation—including pump replacement—in 2024.
