Utility Rate Adjustments

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 - $19.50 

  • 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.
