The Moses Lake City Council will hold a study session on August 25, 2026, to review a proposed 10% increase in water rates for residential customers. The agenda item specifies the change would affect all residential water users and requires public input before final approval.

According to the city's agenda, the rate adjustment is part of the city's ongoing infrastructure maintenance and replacement plan. The council will discuss the proposed changes during their regular meeting at 6:00 PM at City Hall, with public comment period open from 6:15 PM to 6:30 PM.

The council must vote on the rate increase during a future meeting after public feedback is considered. The city's finance department has not yet provided a timeline for final approval.
