Why are we increasing rates to pay for renewal and replacement of waterlines, when the City already has a waterline replacement program charge of $4.24 per month?
The current renewal and replacement charge of $4.24 per month generates approximately $365,000 annually for the City’s waterline replacement program, which is insufficient to fund $43,325,000 needed for water distribution projects. The average cost of water line replacement is $140-$240 per foot; the current replacement charge could account for only about one-half mile of replacement pipe per year.
