Around 90 percent of water customers could see a decrease in their monthly bill. The usage rate reduction goes into effect on Jul. 1, 2023.
In 2006 and 2007, the St. Johns County Utility Department acquired two private utilities serving the Ponte Vedra area, with their current rates remaining intact.
In 2022, the St. Johns County Board of County Commissioners approved the creation of one consolidated utility, with the goal of long-term financial success.“We are so happy to be able to offer this usage rate reduction to our customers,” St. Johns County Utility Director Colin Groff said.
The current Ponte Vedra area water, wastewater and reclaimed water usage rates will be changed to match those of SJCUD system. In a news release, St. Johns County said this is part of a “rate equalization review.”The average SJCUD residential customer uses 9,000 gallons per month.“In addition to multiple public outreach meetings in the Ponte Vedra area, our Utility Department staff will continue to offer residential customers assistance in best management practices,” Groff said.
