The increase to be discussed Wednesday would raise the average metered rate to $41.05. If approved it would take effect in June.
Customers still paying flat water rates would see a larger average increase of $11.60, from $74.90 to $86.50.
It would be the first rate increase in four years. Officials say it's needed because the utility's operating and maintenance costs have risen $5.7 million over the last four years.
