Lacey City Council OKs water, sewer and stormwater rate increase
Jun. 20—If you're a Lacey utility customer, your bill is set to increase July 1.
That's because Lacey City Council recently approved a mid-year increase to water, sewer and stormwater rates after they had delayed that action last year to help ratepayers during the pandemic.
The rate increase also was slightly different than the one previously discussed during a council work session. Then, the council had proposed a 3 percent increase to water and sewer rates, but on Thursday the council approved a 5 percent increase to both.
The reason? A higher increase now will ease the burden of the next increase, according to data shared by Lacey Finance Director Troy Woo.
