Effective January 1, 2025 Ash Creek SSD will have a 5% increase in monthly sewer billing. We understand that a rate increase is never welcome news. This decision was made after careful consideration of the financial needs required to maintain and upgrade our sewer infrastructure, ensuring the continued provision of safe and reliable services to all residents.
We understand that any increase in utility rates can be challenging, and we want to assure you that this adjustment is necessary to meet the increasing operational costs and maintain the quality of service that our community deserves.
In July 2022 the Ash Creek SSD Board, after an extensive rate study, adopted a resolution for a rate increase of $10 for residential homes (an equivalent rate increase was implemented for commercial, vacation rentals, and RV parks). This resolution included the option for the district to implement a 5% increase annually (starting in 2024) if needed. The board will review this annually to determine if the rate is adequate or if adjustments are needed.
We appreciate your understanding and support in maintaining a robust sewer system for the community.
