Maui Sewer Rate Increase Effective TODAY
The Department of Environmental Management Wastewater Reclamation Division reminds customers that the sewer user fee will be increased by an average of 6% starting today.
Single family residential customers will see a maximum increase of $4.52 per month. Sewer fees fund the operations, maintenance and replacement of wastewater infrastructure.
Department officials say the rate increase is necessary to keep the utility financially self-supporting. Sewer user fees are structured so each customer class pays its equitable share of operations, maintenance and repair of the wastewater infrastructure.
The last time the rate was increased was July 1, 2018.
