Residential Rates and Discounts

 

Residents are billed on a monthly basis for waste collection services. These charges can be found on your water utility bill. The City’s contract with your garbage company allows for an automatic annual rate adjustment each June 1. The adjustment equals 50% of the change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) over a one year period. In conformance with this contract provision, the garbage rates will increase by 1.806% effective June 1, 2009. The increase in residential rates is shown in the table below.
