The City of Edgewater provides a monthly utility bill. It is often confused as a “water bill” when it is compared to other nearby communities’ monthly water bills. Your monthly utility bill is all inclusive (water, sewer, stormwater, garbage and recycling). In other cities many of these services are billed separately through annual tax assessment.
Beginning October 1, 2023 there is scheduled to be an increase (once approved by City Council) of fees for Water, Sewer, Stormwater and Solid Waste (Refuse and Recycling). For households that use an average of 3,000 gallons per month, this means an increase of $.85 for Water, $.09 for Utility Tax (10% of Water) and $1.62 for Sewer per month. The Stormwater increases by $.50 per month with a Solid Waste (Recycling) increase of $.52 per month and Solid Waste (Refuse) increasing by $2.10 per month.
The funds derived from utility bills support projects crucial to the environment and utility infrastructure of the City such as:
- Expansion of reclaim water lines to provide reclaim irrigation water to other areas of the community, reducing discharge to the Indian River Lagoon
- Lining of older sewer lines to reduce rain water intrusion into the sewer system
- Routine repair and maintenance to the utility infrastructure
- Improved maintenance and cleaning of the storm water conveyance system with specialized equipment
- Future replacement of the Public Works facility
- Reasonable Assurance Plan improvement projects to clean storm water before it discharges to the Indian River or Hammock recharge area as required by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection
- Replacement of older water lines for increased pressure and water quality
- Stormwater quality projects to reduce nutrients in rainwater runoff in accordance with the cooperative reasonable assurance plan
