Fiscal Year 2023 Budget

On May 7, 2022, AlexRenew held a public hearing to present its proposed budget of $221.4 million for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 beginning July 1. The budget, formally adopted by the AlexRenew Board of Directors on May 17, 2022, includes $30.4 million of operating funds and a $123.6 million capital investment in its RiverRenew program. RiverRenew will prevent millions of gallons of combined sewage from polluting the Potomac River, Hunting Creek, and Hooffs Run each year, creating safer, cleaner, healthier waterways for the community, wildlife, and future generations.

Previously Adopted Rate Adjustment

In July 2021, AlexRenew adopted a two-year sewer rate adjustment to help fund the mandated RiverRenew program and support upgrades at our wastewater treatment facility to purify wastewater 24/7/365. Per the adopted two-year rate adjustment, sewer rates will increase by 6.5 percent starting on July 1, 2022. An average residential customer may see a difference of about $3 per month for this increase, an average increase of about $36 per year.
