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 here.
Please expect the changes to your billing statements. All Bill-Pay customers will need to update their payment amount through their banking institution in order to stay current. Following the July 1st increase, there will be subsequent 2% increases in July 2023 and 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.
