JEA Approves Water Rate Increase

"The cost of water and sewer services is going up by about 10% for the average JEA customer. The JEA board of directors approved the hike on Tuesday folowing two years of study."

"Nearly 70% of JEA customers consume 6,000 gallons or less of water each month. For those households the water-sewer bill starting in October will go up slightly more than $5.00 a month."

"The October 1 water and sewer increase is the first of four rate hikes that will have bills go up around 10% each year."
