The Crescent City Council is moving forward with a study on water and sewer rates, which may result in increased rates for residents.
After receiving a grant from the California State Water Resources Control Board totaling about $80,000, the city is pressing on with the overdue rate studies. Typically, rate studies for water and sewer are completed every five years, however, the last water rate study came in 2013 and the last update to wastewater came in 2015, said City Manager Eric Wier. Wier said these projects are the first-step in maintaining the overall health of both systems.
Currently, residents inside city limits pay $22.49 per 0-500 cubic feet of water and $72.21 for sewer, equaling a minimum bill of $94.70. Before an increase could be instituted, it would first have to appear on a ballot after the study.
In order to keep up with increases in state minimum wage and subsequent hikes in payroll costs, the Crescent City Council is considering raising user fees for some patrons.
In a presentation to the City Council, Recreation Director Holly Wendt and City Manager Eric Wier suggested raising some pool rates, as well as eliminating discounts for annual passes, to make up for rising expenses, and reduce the poolâs financial burden on the city budget.
âWe are going to have issues with sustainability and funding because of minimum wage increases,â said Wendt.
In 2020, payroll expenses at the pool were $48,000, but that figure will jump to $60,000 in 2021 and $72,000 in 2022. The last fee increase for pool users came in 2018 when adult daily passes increased by 50 cents and family annual passes went up by $15. Since then, state minimum wage has increased by $3 per hour.Â
