NAMPA, Idaho — Nampa residents will have a chance to weigh in on several proposed utility rate increases at a public hearing on Tuesday evening.
The City of Nampa sent out an invite to the community to comment on the proposed increases beginning at 6:30 p.m. MT Tuesday at Nampa City Hall.
In May 2018, Nampa residents approved a sewer bond to fund improvements to the city's wastewater treatment plant. The next part of the public-funded plan calls for an increase in residential sewer rates that would go into effect on Oct. 1, 2021, if approved by the city council. Sewer rates are estimated to increase by 16.75%, or approximately $6.02 per month.
Also under consideration, development customers may expect increases to domestic water and wastewater hookup fees and the residential erosion control permit fee beginning Oct. 1, 2021. This also requires council approval.
