Maui sewer user fee increases go into effect

The Department of Environmental Management’s Wastewater Reclamation Division reminds customers that sewer user fees have increased by an average of 3% as part of Maui County Fiscal Year 2023 budget that went into effect July 1.

County officials say the rate increase is necessary to keep the County of Maui’s wastewater system financially self-supporting. Sewer user fees are structured so that each customer class pays its equitable share of operations, maintenance and repair of the wastewater infrastructure.
