St. Petersburg residents could soon pay more for water, wastewater and other city utilities, but the latest rate discussion at City Hall expanded into a larger question over who should pick up the tab for the city’s infrastructure needs.
City Council advanced proposed increases Thursday for water, wastewater, reclaimed water, sanitation and stormwater services. The combined impact could add roughly 7% to an overall utility bill, or an estimated $8 to $10 per month for an average single-family home, and, if it passes, would mark the sixth consecutive year the city hiked the rates.
