Jackson's City Council approved water, sewer rate increases

mlive.com

Jackson residents will face higher water and sewer bills after the City Council approved rate increases in a 4-3 vote. Quarterly water bills will increase by $15, and sewer bills will rise by $18. The rate hikes, effective after June 30, 2025, are designed to fund lead service line replacements and offset revenue losses. These losses stem from reduced water usage by a major customer and rising operational costs for the city's water system. The council's decision follows a delayed vote to allow for resident feedback. The increases will bring the average quarterly water bill to $142.62 and the sewer bill to $80.94.
