Commissioner’s continued

findings supported updating our billing structure to ensure
that rates align with the cost to provide services today and
create financial stability to fund critical improvements to
maintain service levels in the future. A new rate structure
was approved in September 2019 and will go into effect
in October 2020. Another change to our utility ordinance
was to eliminate the 20,000-gallon cap on wastewater
fees, which allows the City to charge customers fees for all
wastewater used. While I support prudent measures to
safeguard our utility system, I was not in favor of removing
the cap and did not vote in favor of the ordinance.
If you have an unusually high bill, please contact our
office. We have helped resolve many water bill issues for
neighbors. Email the Utility Billing office at
utilitybilling@fortlauderdale.gov and copy my assistant,
Melissa Coningsby (mconingsby@fortlauderdale.gov) so
we can help you. n

Sincerely,
