PURPOSE:
To approve a resolution approving and ratifying the delay in implementation of the ten percent water and sewer
rate increase as approved through Agenda Item 2025-0259 from July 1, 2025 to August 1, 2025.
NEED/IMPACT:
Prior to implementing the first ten percent rate increase, the Administration determined that it was in the best
interest of the County’s water and sewer rate payers to expedite the creation of an Office of Water and Sewer
Customer Advocacy as requested by the BOC through Agenda Item 2024-1357. The Administration has
identified an independent, third-party community partner to serve as the County’s Water and Sewer Customer
Advocate and development of the remaining referenced customer protections has progressed to the point that
the Administration implemented the ten percent rate increase on August 1, 2025.
