Join discussion on proposed Utilities 25-26 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.

Bellevue community members are invited to attend a virtual community meeting Monday, Sept. 16, at 5:30 p.m. for a presentation on Bellevue Utilities’ proposed 2025-26 budget, along with rate impacts for customers of Bellevue water, sewer and stormwater services.

Community members can register to attend the meeting, which is an opportunity to ask questions about the budget before Bellevue Utilities presents its proposed budget and rates on Sept. 24 to the City Council for review and consideration for adoption in November.

The Environmental Services Commission, a seven-member advisory panel, reviewed the proposed budget and took public comments about it at a Sept. 5 hearing. The commission will present its recommendation to the council.
