The combined $954 million for the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Water/Wastewater and Stormwater budgets will result in an increase of $9.03 per month on the typical residential beginning March 1, the start of the fiscal year.
“We have some very specific needs to make progress on new water supply projects and to expand our Bustamante Wastewater Treatment Plant,” said EPWater President and CEO John Balliew. “East Side growth has pushed the plant to a threshold that requires an urgent capacity increase so we can serve the growing number of homes and businesses in the area.”
