Cost-of-Service Rate Study

Murphys Sanitary District is conducting a Cost-of-Service Rate Study. The study includes the following key components:

• Review overall current financial health of the District.
• Determine efficacy of current residential and commercial rates to support future needs.
• Address rising cost of compensation packages, chemicals and supplies, energy rates and general inflation.
• Forecast the amount of revenues the District will need to fund capital improvements.
• Review existing rate structure and make recommendations for adjustments, if needed.
• Propose changes in rates over the next five (5) fiscal years starting in 2025/2026 to support the District’s revenue needs.

The study is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2025. The public will have an opportunity to provide input during workshops anticipated in early 2025.

Murphys Sanitary District values its customers and wants to provide opportunities for ratepayers to discuss potential changes in rates.

All meetings are held in person (virtual options available) on the second Thursday of each month at 10 a.m. located at 15 Ernest St., Suite A in Murphys.
