Notice of Rate Increase

Rate Increase Announcement

- Effective January 2023

To City of Davenport Utility

Customers:

The Davenport City Council

recognizes its fiduciary responsibility

to the customers it serves

and its duty to maintain the

water and sewer systems for

present and future customers.

To facilitate these obligations,

the Council finds it necessary

to incorporate a rate increase;

residential water will be increased

by 3% on all monthly

service rates. This increase is

effective on all bills mailed on

or after January 1, 2023. The

increase will ensure the continuation

of necessary infrastructure

improvements and cover

increased operating costs. Presently,

the average annual water

charge is $36.62(1,000cf) for

customers. Depending on the

water usage of the customer,

this rate will increase the average

annual residential cost by

$13.32 per year plus tax.

Commercial and residential

sewer will be increased 3% on

all monthly services rates. This

increase is effective on all bills

mailed on or after January 1,

2023. The average residential

sewer customer currently is

charged $34.20 per ERU. Depending

on the customer, this

rate adjustment will increase

the average annual residential

cost by approximately $12 per

year plus tax.

Commercial and residential

garbage will be increased 5%

on all monthly service rates

due to a contractual increase

by Sunshine Disposal. This

rate increase is effective on all

bills mailed on or after January

1, 2023. Presently, the average

annual residential 32-gallon

tote garbage service charge is

$17.77. Depending on the usage

of the customer, this annual

rate adjustment will increase the

annual residential cost by $11

per year.

All rate adjustments per customer

use can be viewed at

Davenport City Hall.
