Proposed Rate Adjustments

Sammamish Plateau Water is committed to providing high-quality water and sewer service to our customers. Periodic rate adjustments ensure the District’s ability to maintain this level of service.

WATER RATES

The District is proposing a 5% water revenue adjustment based upon completion of a customer cost of service allocation and recalibration of the base and block rates to improve equity based on how costs are incurred. Revenue adjustments for specific customer classes are proposed in accordance with the following tables:

Single-Family Rate Schedule

*One Cubic Foot (cf) equals 7.48 gallons

Non-Residential and Multi-Family Rate Schedule

*One Cubic Foot (cf) equals 7.48 gallons

Irrigation Rate Schedule

Irrigation rates are in the process of further review and may be modified for additional adjustment prior to the Hearing. 

*One Cubic Foot (cf) equals 7.48 gallons

SEWER RATES

The District is proposing an adjustment to sewer revenue of 5.5%, which would increase the monthly sewer rate for a single-family residential sewer customer by $2.26 to $43.32 per month.
