2023-2024 Rate and Budget Process

In 2022, our staff presented draft budget information at several public meetings. These events provided an opportunity for members of the community to learn more about how the budget process works and hear about rate adjustments before they go into effect.

Budget & Rate Presentations

Tacoma Power and Tacoma Water staff prepared and presented budget and rates research and background to the Public Utility Board and Tacoma’s City Council. For more information on what projects are planned and how costs are managed, see the presentations below. The presentations are listed in the order of newest to oldest.
