Based on updated construction cost estimates, East Bay Municipal Utility District staff is recommending for new residential development a 3.5 percent to 4.7 percent increase in the potable water capacity or connection fee plus a 16.7 percent hike in the wastewater charge. The utility is also expected to bump its other application fees. On the regulatory side, EBMUD is revising its rules to comply with a new state law that goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2018, that requires developers of new multi-family structures to submeter each dwelling unit. The EBMUD governing board will hold a preliminary public hearing on June 13, 2017, to consider the full set of recommended rates and regulations. The board is scheduled to adopt the new fees and rules on July 11, 2017. The new rates would go into effect on July 12, 2017.
