Base Sewer, Water Rates to Adjust for August Utility Billings

During its May 9, 2017 meeting, the Aurora City Council passed Resolutions 726 and 727. Resolution 726 adopted a utilities rate and cost of service study report and established fees and charges for water services. Similarly, Resolution 727 adopted the 2017 Wastewater Rate Report and established a new sanitary sewer system rate.

The new rates are incremented on the annual increase Consumer Price Index of Portland-Salem, as it is measured by the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics annually. That figure came out to 3.9 percent.

As a result, the rates will be as follows after the June meter read date:

     Water base charge:

       ¾" Meter

            Current:  $ 27.94

            New:       $ 29.03

        1” Meter

           Current:   $ 35.56

            New:       $ 36.95

     Sewer:

            Current: $114.00

            New:      $118.45
