Livermore Council To Consider Sanitation Rate Increase

LIVERMORE, CA — On Monday, the Livermore City Council will consider approving Livermore Sanitation’s request to increase rates by 3.68 percent, effective July 1.

An agreement approved in 2020 allows Livermore Sanitation, Inc. (LSI) to adjust rates according to an index-based methodology, which considers percentage changes in the consumer price index and percentage change in disposal fees, according to a city staff report. LSI found that its total calculated costs are projected to reach $33.2 million, a 3.68% increase from the previous year.

Livermore residents currently pay anywhere from $32.76 to $99.80 per month, resulting in increases of $1.21 to $3.67 per month.

The meeting will take place Monday at 7 p.m. at the Civic Center Meeting Hall, and can be livestreamed on Channel 29 or the city’s YouTube channel. See here for the full agenda.
