Gilbert officials are ready to deliver some good news to utility customers — the town anticipates no rate hikes for 2027.
Gilbert’s utility system is entering a period of short-term rate stability, even as town officials acknowledge mounting infrastructure needs and long-term financial pressure beneath the surface.
Town staff told council members during a recent financial retreat that neither the wastewater fund nor the environmental compliance fund is expected to see rate increases in the upcoming cycle, following recent adjustments and operational efficiencies.
