Fulton County officials are reviewing a proposal for a 5% water and sewer rate hike that could raise monthly bills by about 50 cents for most customers.

If approved, the new rates will start on January 1, 2026 + the funds will pay for upgrades at the Camp Creek Water Reclamation Facility.

Alpharetta City Council approved a contract with Integrated Construction and Nobility on July 28 to combine projects at Old Rucker Park, Union Hill Park, Wills Park and the Wills Park Equestrian Center — the deal saved about $900,000 — and work is expected to finish in about two years.
