Utility rates for city of Surprise water, solid waste and wastewater customers are set to go up in July after the Surprise City Council voted March 18 to approve a new five-year schedule for the rates.
The Council voted 6-1 to accept the new package of rates, which will raise costs about $29 a month after five years for city customers for water, wastewater, solid waste and stormwater.
Surprise serves water to about two-thirds of the city, mostly east of Loop 303 and south of Bell Road. And most Surprise residents use city services for wastewater.
