Utility rate increases are being considered everywhere. Pasadena is no exception. 

These decisions do not need to be made in a legislative vacuum.

Tonight (Monday, May 6th) the Pasadena City Council will hear a request to raise sewer rates by the Department of Public Works. The hearing will be in the City Council Chambers at 100 North Garfield Avenue on the second floor, Room S249. 

You can attend the meeting to comment or submit public comment remotely.

From the Associated Press: California’s Population Grew in 2023, Halting 3 Years of Decline-...California gained population last year for the first time since 2019, according to a new estimate released Tuesday by Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration. The net increase of just over 67,000 residents in 2023 — a 0.17% increase — stopped a three-year trend of population decline, which included the state’s first-ever year-over-year loss during the pivotal census year of 2020 that later led to California losing a congressional seat.
