Utility costs are going up in almost every city. Water and sewer bills are rising year after year, and many places already have increases planned for 2026. For property managers and rental owners, this means one thing: your expenses will grow unless you have a plan.
The good news? You can stay ahead and protect your profit with a few simple steps.
Cities are raising utility rates to fix old pipes, improve water systems, and prepare for the future. Most places are seeing 3–8% increases every year, and some cities have even higher jumps. When these changes happen, your bills rise quickly.
