Benicia water bills could rise by 6.5%, wastewater bills by 3%
Benicia residents could see their water and wastewater bills increase following a recommendation by city staff. City council would have to ultimately approve it. On Aug. 11, 2021, staff at the City of Benicia publicly released their recommendations on the revised draft water and wastewater utility rate study. Of the four possible funding scenarios for each utility, staff is recommending city council select Water Scenario 3 and Wastewater Scenario 3 and is further recommending that Council consider a public hearing date in November.
