Sewer Rates

The LFP sewer rate is made up of two parts: the LFP Residential Sewer Rate, which is used for the maintenance and repair of the LFP sewer system, and the King County Sewer Treatment charge, which goes to King County for operation and maintenance of their sewage treatment facilities.

2023 Sewer Rate

Starting January 1, 2023 the King County portion of your bill will increase by $2.84 from $49.27 to $52.11 per month. The City portion will increase by 61 cents from $20.16 to $20.77 per month. 

Starting in 2023 a utility tax of 6% will be assessed each billing on the monthly sewer charges.
