Notice of Sewer Rate Adjustment/Garbage Service Costs
Kings Manor Municipal Utility District (“District”) is committed to providing efficient, high-quality sewer service while keeping water and sewer rates as low as possible. To continue meeting rising operational costs, specifically increasing garbage collection costs, the District has implemented a sewer rate adjustment to its Rate Order.
Even with this increase, the District continues to offer some of the lowest water and sewer rates in the region. Please understand the District’s Flat Sewer Rate includes the costs for garbage collection services as a direct pass-through cost to its customers. For the past several years, the District has been absorbing the increased costs for garbage collection without increasing its rates. The District has opted to make the necessary sewer rate adjustments incrementally, with the first increase of $5.00 to the District’s Flat Sewer Rate to be effective January 1, 2026. The District will consider a similar increase during the next year to better absorb and fully cover the rising costs of providing operational and garbage collection services. In addition, the District approved adjusting its Flat Sewer Rate going forward as a pass-through cost at the time garbage collection rates increase, particularly with the Annual CPI-U Index adjustment which becomes effective every April for the District. We appreciate your understanding as the District makes this necessary adjustment to ensure continued and reliable water, sewer and garbage collection services.
