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.
