Wichita City Council approves significant water and sewer rate hikes over three years, totaling over twenty-three percent. The increases, ranging from six to seven percent annually, will add around four to nearly five dollars per month for average low-volume users. The council aims to provide more predictability for consumers, despite the rates being higher than earlier projections. The hikes fund over two billion dollars in capital projects, including a delayed water treatment plant, and compensate for lost customers. Three council members voted against the increases, citing concerns about the burden on residents and the timing of the decision.
