Legally mandated second opinion could give single-family home customers modest reprieve
The initial proposal would have increased single-family rates 18.1 percent next year, while the second opinion study said a 13.4 percent spike would be adequate. The final proposal would increase single-family rates 16.7 percent.
If the council adopted the rate increases Sept. 21, a typical single-family homeowner would see their monthly bill increase from $40.52 to $47.64 next year. Their bill would then climb to $49.58 in January 2023, $51.53 in January 2024 and $53.07 in January 2025.

The increase to $47.64 would move San Diego up from third-lowest among sewer agencies in the county to the middle of the pack.
