Water and sewer bills are going up July 1.
The Ann Arbor City Council gave final approval Monday night to new utility rates that provide revenue increases of 3.55 percent in water, 4.25 percent in sewer and 4 percent in stormwater.
The impact on the average single-family customer is estimated at $20.66 per year, a net increase of 3.6 percent if consumption is unchanged from last year.
That's expected to increase revenues in the water, sewer and stormwater funds by $739,244, $955,531 and $233,811, respectively.
According to information from the city, the 3.6 percent increase in Ann Arbor compares to increases of 5 percent in Warren and 4 percent in Ypsilanti, and a decrease of 2.3 percent in Grand Rapids. The city also released the following charts showing the impact of the changes in Ann Arbor.
Ann Arbor's water and sewer rates have gone up in the 3 to 4 percent range each of the last several years. The rate increases are helping to fund millions of dollars in capital improvements.
