Aug 3, 2026
The City of Cave Spring would like to inform all utility customers that the updated utility
rates for water/sewer, garbage, and fire protection services will become effective
beginning with the next billing cycle.
These adjustments were approved by the City Council as part of the City's ongoing
commitment to maintaining reliable public services and ensuring the long-term financial
stability of the City's utility systems. Revenue generated from these rate adjustments will
help support the continued operation, maintenance, and improvement of essential
infrastructure and services provided to our community.
The rate adjustments will apply to:
Water/Sewer Service - 2.5%
Garbage Collection - $1 Increase $18.50 - $19.50Â
Fire Protection Fees - $1 Increase $17.00 - $18.00
These adjustments will result in an overall increase of approximately $2.90 per billing
cycle for City of Cave Spring utility customers, reflecting the combined changes to
water, garbage, and fire protection rates. Customers located outside the city limits will
see only a 2.5% adjustment to water service rates, as garbage collection and fire
protection fees do not apply. Citizens will see the updated rates reflected on bills issued
on August 18, 2026.
The City recognizes that any increase in utility costs impacts our residents and
businesses. These adjustments were considered carefully and are necessary to
continue providing safe, dependable, and high-quality services while addressing
increasing operational, equipment, and infrastructure costs.
Residents with questions regarding the updated utility rates are encouraged to contact
City Hall during normal business hours.
