Truckee Meadows Water Authority (TMWA) has scheduled several public meetings to collect customer feedback regarding a proposed rate adjustment.

The rate adjustment would be the first in over three years and is intended to help the utility meet revenue requirements. The average customer’s water bill is expected to increase by $1.42 per month starting May 2017 with an additional increase of $1.47 in May 2018.

TMWA continues to monitor the effectiveness of our rate structures, and, as necessary, makes adjustments that better reflect the costs associated with treating, delivering, and maintaining the high-quality water that our customers currently expect. Customers are encouraged to attend the following meetings for more information and to provide feedback, which will be presented to the TMWA Board of Directors.

There will be opportunities for the public to comment during TMWA’s Board of Directors and Standing Advisory Committee meetings.

Customers who cannot attend a meeting, but would like to comment, can do so by sending an e-mail to tmwaboard@tmwa.com. For the most current information about the proposed rate adjustment, visit www.tmwa.com/rates2017, or contact us with your questions at 834-8080.
