2026 Aurora Water Rate Information

Aurora Water continues to face rising costs for materials, energy, and services required to deliver high-quality drinking water. We are also investing more to maintain and upgrade our aging infrastructure so we can continue providing reliable water, sewer, and storm services to our community.

Beginning Jan. 1, 2026, residential customers will see an average monthly increase of $5.30 total for all services combined (water, sewer, and storm drain).

These new rates will be prorated on your January bill. You will notice two sets of charges — one for 2025 and one for 2026 —based on the date your water meter is read.
