Community meeting on proposed 2023-24 Utilities budget, rates

Bomb cyclone storm impacts

A bomb cyclone windstorm lashed Bellevue the night of Tuesday, Nov. 19, bringing down trees throughout the city and leaving hundreds of thousands without power. Most city facilities have power but some are on modified hours or closed due to power outages. Damages from the storm continue to impact Bellevue, prompting the mayor to proclaim a civil emergency in the city. Updates about the city's response will be posted at Bomb Cyclone Storm.

All Bellevue Utilities customers are invited to attend a virtual community meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 4, at 6 p.m. during which the department will present its proposed 2023-2024 budget, along with rate impacts for customers of Bellevue water, sewer and stormwater utility services.

People can register to attend the meeting on the proposed budget before the City Council considers adoption in November.

The Environmental Services Commission, a seven-member advisory panel, reviewed the proposed budget and took comments about it at a Sept. 1 public hearing. The ESC will issue its recommendation to the council in October.
