The anticipated commencement of the project is in Summer 2024, with a goal to complete the Wastewater Cost of Service and Rate Structure Study in FY 2024/25. After 2025, the following studies are scheduled to be completed: Comprehensive Connection Fee Study, Water Cost of Service Study, and Biennial Financial Plan Updates.
