More than 50,000 people in parts of Sammamish, Issaquah and unincorporated King County will soon pay more for water and sewer service.
The Sammamish Plateau Water and Sewer District, which is one of two sewer authorities serving the city, has raised its service rates by 9 percent and increased its connection fees for new users. Four percent of the increase is attributed to inflation and 5 percent is for long-term capital reinvestment, according to the district. The rate hike takes effect in the next billing cycle, beginning with Sept. 22 bills. The district bills customers in eight time cycles and each bill covers the two months leading up to the billing date.
