The Cave Creek Town Council on Tuesday put plans in motion to increase the water rate for customers of Cave Creek Water, Desert Hills Water and Cave CreekWastewater system.
The 7-0 vote to increase the rate by 6% will results in water bill increases to most of the 5,500 customers Cave Creek serves.
The votes sets in motion the process to increase the rates in February of 2026. A written report will be released to the town’s customer on Nov. 7, and a public hearing on the rate increase will take place Jan. 6, 2026 with adoption of the rate increase at that meeting.
