Change Made to Rate Structure
At a public hearing on October 22, 2012, Metro's Board of Directors approved a new rate structure that means customers using 11,000 gallons or less will pay $2.50 more a month. The water availability (base) rate was increased from $17.50 to $20.00. The water consumption charges did not change for the 1st and 2nd tiers but the 3rd, 4th, and 5th tiers were increased each by 4 percent. These changes became effective for the Metro-Main and Metro-Hub service areas on November 1, 2012.
The Board also established a water resource utilization fee at 10¢ per 1,000 gallons to become effective March 1, 2013 for all service areas. This fee is to be used specifically for the development, design, and construction of projects for the purpose of putting to use Metro Water's CAP water allocation and effluent.
