Modesto will raise water rates nearly 25% by 2027
The Modesto City Council voted Tuesday evening to boost water rates nearly 25% by 2027. The average residential bill will go from $67.13 a month now to $83.66 in 2027, a staff report said. Actual charges are much higher in the dry months and lower in other times. Under state law, the proposal would have died if a majority of the 75,584 customers filed protests. Only 144 did.
