{City of Coral Springs}
Starting in October, residents and businesses served by the Coral Springs Water District will likely pay more for their water and sewage services.
Under the proposed rate hike, a typical single-family home customer would see an increase of $4.11 on their monthly bills for the two utilities, while typical commercial customers would see a monthly increase of $37.62, according to city records.
The increase would only apply to Coral Springs Water District customers, not customers of the four independent water districts in the city, officials said.
Coral Springs officials commissioned a water and sewer rate study, completed in July 2023, in an effort to create a revenue stream large enough to support operation of the two utilities through 2028.
The proposed rate hike reflects water conservation efforts and other increased costs, while creating a “price incentive to encourage conservation and minimiz[e] the financial burden to low volume users,” according to city records.
City commission members are scheduled to cast their initial votes on the proposed rate increase at Thursday night’s meeting. A second, final vote on the increase has been proposed for September 18.
