How do your rates compare? Find out by participating in the Annual Utility Rate Survey. Check your email inbox or mailbox for the questionnaire. The digital and print versions of the survey were sent to utilities on February 3rd. The deadline for participation is March 21, 2025.
Each year, AE2S conducts a survey of water, wastewater, stormwater, and solid waste utility rates throughout the region. Two unique reports are prepared based on community population. One is for communities with populations of 1,000 to 4,999 and Regional/Rural Water Systems. The second is for communities with populations of 5,000 and greater. Many utilities find the results of the annual survey to be a useful planning resource in support of ongoing revenue adequacy, cost of service, and utility rate planning efforts.
All survey participants will receive a complimentary copy of the 2025 Annual Utility Rate Survey later this year. In addition to the booklet, participants also have access to an online dashboard to provide added value to those who complete the annual survey. There are six screens available to review. Highlights include the ability to visualize the impact of potential rate adjustments and compare rates with other utilities within a radius you select.
