Let’s talk utility rates, trends, and strategy! The 25th edition of the AE2S Annual Rate Survey is now open.
Join hundreds of others by participating in the 2026 Utility Rate Survey for a holistic look at your position compared with peer utilities and what the numbers tell you when it comes to water, wastewater, stormwater, and solid waste utility rates. AE2S financial experts collect and analyze data from large and small regions across the Midwest and Mountain West, helping city leaders better understand how your utility rates stack up against peer communities.
Detailed collection information provides insights and comparables that take into consideration variables such as population, source water, softening treatment, wastewater treatment type, seasonality, rate structure type, and geography.
Use this critical tool as you evaluate your rate strategy and communicate with leadership teams, elected officials, and your community.
All participants receive a complimentary copy of the report, expert insight, visual graphs/charts, and access to an interactive dashboard for rate forecasting.
Take the survey and see how your rates stack up. Get started at www.ae2sratesurvey.com.
