Sewer fees have been unchanged since 2016 and the proposal is to increase sewer fees annually over a 10-year period, the fee structure will change to 50:50, fixed:volumetric, and $10 million per year will be dedicated to a new low-income customer assistance program. ENV stated that additional revenue is now required for wastewater operations and maintenance (O&M) and the Capital Improvement Program (CIP). ENV’s CIP will cost $10.1 billion between 2025 and 2040. The largest CIP project is the final phase of the 2010 consent decree, the Sand Island Wastewater Treatment Plant upgrade, to be completed by 2035 at a cost of $1.8 billion. The CIP includes many other projects to repair and upgrade facilities to meet regulatory requirements and to continue preparing critical infrastructure for climate change/sea level rise. Sewer fees must increase to fund these critical programs. Visit www8.honolulu.gov/env/sewer-fee-rates for more information.
