Yreka Residents Facing 9.6% Sewer & Water Rate Hike in February 2024 or 63% in the next 5 years.

The “form” to protest is only at the City offices or included below for you to printout.
It is not on City of Yreka website.
Especially cumbersome on non residential places!

Calculating the increase for a home with a 3/4″ water line and the basic price (not including the price of water) will go up about 63% in the next 5 years. But to top it off, the City of Yreka in addition to their litany of rules, has a special form one must use this time around.

The attachment is a document that has “rules” that one must follow to “protest” rate hikes and the last couple of pages shows the various increases in what the rates will be.

This is especially cumbersome on non residential places that are large and have a large water line going into their property. I calculated the increase for a home with a 3/4″ water line and the basic price (not including the price of water) will go up about 63% in the next 5 years. But to top it off, the City of Yreka in addition to their litany of rules, has a special form one must use this time around. I will try to attach both documents for your information. The “form” to protest is only at the City offices, not on their website.
