  The public works department is conducting a comprehensive study of the fees, rates, and cost of service for Littleton’s sanitary sewer and storm drainage systems. Littleton has struggled in recent years with aging sewer and stormwater infrastructure, including costly and disruptive emergency repairs following several culvert collapses. Ensuring rates and fees match the needs of upgrading this crucial infrastructure will help ensure Littleton can meet the future proactively, not reactively. The study will provide recommendations to update the rates for sanitary sewer service, storm drainage, tap fees, development impact fees, and efficient utility billing. The assessment will look into cost recovery, and possible future debt financing of large-scale capital projects related to sewer and stormwater systems. Public communications and city council updates will be provided during the first half of 2026, with any approved rate changes taking effect in January 2027.
