Bloomington water utility reveals how much it wants to raise rates

Bloomington’s water utility wants to increase residential customers’ bills by about 20%, or $6 per month. The city’s proposal has to be approved by state regulators , but the city expects rates to hit customers’ bills in mid- to late 2026.

The city had announced in mid-August that it planned to file a rate hike request, though the city did not provide details at the time. Officials said Monday that rates for other types of customers also would increase, though the officials did not provide details. The city did not immediately reply to an email requesting that information.
