Utility Infrastructure Improvements Will Cost Ann Arbor Residents

Steve Johnson

Ann Arbor residents could soon see utility rates increase.

The idea is to increase water, sewer, and stormwater rates to generate about $3 million to improve the infrastructures of those utilities.

Council member SabraBriere from the first ward says the change must take place.

"We need to be able to make certain that our drinking water is safe by using the latest technology and upgrading our equipment."

Rate increases could start at 5.5%, but no decision has been made.
