Ventura water, sewer rates to increase yearly through 2026
View Comments
Starting July 1, Ventura residents will be paying about $8 more a month on average for their water and sewer services, in part to develop new sources of drinking water in a warming climate.
Along with upgrades to pipelines and standard wastewater treatment, the higher payments will help finance a new advanced water purification plant that will turn the city s treated sewage water into drinking water, city officials said.
The Ventura City Council unanimously approved the higher utility charges Monday night. Residents will see their water and sewer rates increase 7% and 6%, respectively, each year for the next five years. The increase means residents will pay an average of $7.76 more each month, the officials said.
Ventura plans to modernize its computer systems, upgrade fire stations and fortify its reserves with an anticipated $28 million in one-time revenue from the federal recovery act and a Thomas Fire settlement.
The spending plan also includes money for repairs and expansion of City Hall and improvements in the pedestrian-only downtown shopping and dining area, under the city s Main Street Moves program.
The new revenue is part of the city s proposed $307.4 million budget for the 2021-2022 fiscal year. The Ventura City Council reviewed the proposal Monday at its first budget session, in which council members expressed frustration over the proposal s lack of funding for reported deficiencies in the fire department.
