Sewer Utility and EPA Compliance Fee Adjustments

The city is raising sewer utility rates to ensure the utility pays for itself and to help cover expensive, federally mandated EPA upgrades at the Central Valley Water Reclamation Facility.

What it means: Residents benefit from compliant and functioning wastewater infrastructure.

Solid Waste and Recycling Fee CPI Adjustments

Monthly garbage and recycling collection fees are increasing slightly based on Consumer Price Index adjustments in the city's contract with Ace Disposal.

What it means: Household waste fees will increase from $14.29 to $14.76 per month, and glass recycling from $8.25 to $8.50.

Downtown Housing and Transit Reinvestment

UTA is planning major upgrades to double train frequency and boost ridership on the FrontRunner line. The project will bring faster commutes and better regional connectivity, but expect some temporary construction noise and utility work.

What it means: Commuters and local residents gain faster, more frequent rail service and reduced highway congestion.
