The study indicates increased water and filtration charges are necessary to fund capital expenditures, and to meet water quality, supply,regulatory and financial obligations of Everett Utilities. Water and filtration rates,based on consumption of 700 cubic feet per month,will increase annually from the current charge of$29.734 per month to $29.876 per month in 2017, $30.67 per month in 2018,$31.432 in 2019, and$32.224 in 2020. Increased sewer and surface water charges are necessary to continue to aggressively maintain,replace, and expand utility infrastructure. Sewer rates will increase annually from the current Single-Family charge of$59.87 per month to $67.01 in 2017, $70.37 in 2018, $73.66 in 2019,and$77.12 in 2020. • Surface water rates for unsewered accounts will increase annually from the current Single-Family charge of $17.44 per month to$22.67 in 2017, $24.03 in 2018, $25.47 in 2019, and$27.00 in 2020.
