Starting July 1, certain San Jose residents may get sticker shock from their water bills
Over a tenth of San Jose’s population may soon see their water bills significantly jump if councilmembers approve an increase on Tuesday, making it one of the largest rate hikes in the Bay Area this coming year.
Officials blame the cost bump on increasing charges by third-party groups who dispense the water, drought-related impacts on supply and usage, and infrastructure improvements that need to be completed. The city-run system serves customers in North San Jose, Alviso, Evergreen, Edenvale and Coyote Valley.
SJMWS also expects further bill increases in the years ahead, with a minimum 15% jump in 2024, 11.5% in 2025 and then seven years of 10% increases. However, if drought conditions worsen, the numbers could increase even more. Other San Jose water service providers also are expecting moderate price increases compared to the wider region, according to numbers from the Environmental Services Department.
