KCRG · last updated

IOWA CITY, Iowa (KCRG) — The water utility rates are set to increase in Iowa City.

According to the Iowa City Council, a 3% increase of water utility rates will take place starting July 1.

The rate increase was made to serve a “self-supporting funding model” according to the City of Iowa City. This was planned to recover the cost of providing water to customers supplied by the Iowa City Water Division.

The decision was approved at a council meeting on May 20.
