Average customer bill to increase $14/quarter beginning in FY25
New water and wastewater rates will take effect in Ocean City in the coming fiscal year.
On Feb. 5, council members voted to adopt new, higher service rates for the utilities for the next five fiscal years. The rates, determined by a recent water and wastewater study, are expected to increase a customer’s average bill by more than $14 a quarter starting in 2025.
“This is adopting the water and wastewater rates for Fiscal Years 2025 through 2029,” said City Solicitor Heather Stansbury. “This was originally presented to you at the January 30 work session.”
On Jan. 30, representatives with NewGen Strategies and Solutions presented the results of a recent water and wastewater study. The report proposed rate increases over a five-year period to cover a forecasted increase in operating expenses and capital costs.
The resolution adopted this week sets new quarterly rates for fixture charges, commodity charges and service availability fees within the water division and new quarterly rates for fixture charges, service availability fees and pool fees within the wastewater division.
Thanks, Brandon.
