Those who use Salt Lake City utilities for water will likely face another service fee increase this year.
SALT LAKE CITY — Those who use Salt Lake City utilities for water will likely face another service fee increase this year, while heavy water users could also have to pay an additional "drought surcharge," too, as the department that distributes the water deals with rising costs and other issues.
Laura Briefer, director of Salt Lake City Public Utilities, said the department is also planning on launching a study to redesign the city's water fee structure in the near future.The primary fee increases would help repay project debts and handle some of the "inflationary pressures" impacting the cost of maintaining the services that the department provides, Briefer explained.
If approved by city leaders, the fee changes and surcharge would go into effect in July. A department spokesperson clarified with KSL.com that users will see any payment changes beginning with their July consumption moving forward, should it be approved. Salt Lake City Councilman Alejandro Puy added that he's heard from businesses who are getting uneasy about rising costs. More money could also be put into utility cost assistance programs as both the city and the department figure out a long-term solution to balance water consumption and cost.
