Some Florida residents could see their water and wastewater bills jump in the near future as Riviera Beach City Council members consider a new water treatment plant that could cost up to $300 million.

The news in Riviera comes as municipalities across the nation have recently considered an increase in water bills for a variety of reasons, ranging from new nano-filtration systems to reduce the levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, known as PFAS, to less water storage in reservoirs because of damaged dams. Albuquerque, New Mexico, is considering raising water and sewer bills to cover an increase in fuel, power and chemical costs.
