Costs from Detroit and Wayne County have increased significantly over this time period. After several meetings on this matter, the City Commission passed rate increases affecting all customers in the City. As these rate increases occurred from the Detroit and Wayne County systems, they are passed along to the customers in the community. The City Commission reviews proposed water and sewer rate adjustments annually in the spring. Citizens are encouraged to attend these public meetings to provide comments regarding this important service provided to all city residents. Printable Water Rate Card
