These are revenue bonds, paid back through water and sewer fees—not your taxes. Passing them lets the city access low-cost financing for essential upgrades, including pump stations, aging monitoring systems, and federally mandated sewer overflows reductions. Rejecting them could force higher borrowing costs, leading to steeper rate hikes. Voters approved similar bonds in 2014 and 2022, but current authority is nearly exhausted, making this vote crucial for keeping future bills affordable.
