BROWARD COUNTY, Fla. — The Broward County Commission unanimously approved a series of revisions to its water and wastewater rate schedules during its September 10, 2026, meeting. The commissioners voted 8-0 to pass three separate resolutions amending the Broward County Administrative Code. The legislative package updates the financial framework for both general retail customers and large-scale users across the county's service districts. The first approved resolution revises the schedule of retail water and wastewater service rates, fees, and charges. Following that, the board approved two additional measures targeting major consumers: one revising the raw water supply large user rates, and another updating the wastewater large user rates. According to county agenda documents, the approved resolutions establish the rate structures for 2027. The measures advanced smoothly through the public hearing phase of the meeting. No members of the public signed up to speak on any of the three water-related items, and the commission approved each resolution sequentially without further discussion.
