FAQs

Why are CCMA wastewater rates increasing during 2017-2021?

Rates increase because current revenue is not recovering CCMA’s cost of service, CCMA is discontinuing use of impact fee funds to subsidize debt service, and WWTP expansion and ongoing rehabilitation raise operating costs. The plan also considers system changes after 2017.

How are impact fees expected to be used going forward?

The plan states CCMA will gradually reduce impact fees used toward debt service payments over the next three years. This is intended to free additional impact fee revenue for capacity projects.

What are the approved wastewater rates per 1,000 gallons for FY 2017-FY 2021?

The approved schedule lists $3.35 (FY 2017), $3.58 (FY 2018), $3.83 (FY 2019), $3.93 (FY 2020), and $4.05 (FY 2021) per 1,000 gallons.
