PUBLIC NOTICE

RATE INCREASE ANNOUNCEMENT

- EFFECTIVE

JANUARY 2024

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 water service rates.

This increase is effective on all

bills mailed on or after January

1, 2024. The increase will ensure

the continuation of necessary

infrastructure improvements and

cover increased operating costs.

Presently, the average annual

water charge is $37.72(1,000cf)

for customers. Depending on the

water usage of the customer, this

rate will increase the average

annual residential cost by $13.56

per year plus tax.

Commercial and residential

sewer rates will be increased

1% on all monthly service rates.

This increase is effective on all

bills mailed on or after January

1, 2024. The average residential

sewer customer currently is

charged $35.23 per ERU. Depending

on the customer, this

rate adjustment will increase

the average annual residential

cost by approximately $4.20 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,

2024. Presently, the average

annual residential 32-gallon

tote garbage service charge is

$18.56. Depending on the usage

of the customer, this annual rate

adjustment will increase the

annual residential cost by $12

per year.

All rate adjustments per customer

use can be viewed at

Davenport City Hall.
