May 31 Lacey City Council is leaning toward a mid-year adjustment to water, sewer and stormwater rates after delaying that action a year ago to provide area relief to those whose employment may have been affected by COVID-19.
The council revisited the topic at a recent work session and appears ready to vote on an ordinance that would increase the rates on July 1.
Under consideration is a 3 percent increase to water and sewer rates, and a 4.5 percent increase to stormwater rates, which would be on top of a 3 percent hike after the LOTT Clean Water Alliance the agency that manages wastewater in the area took a similar action in January, Lacey Finance Director Troy Woo told the council.
