The NYC Water Board has officially approved a 3.7% increase in water and sewer rates
The NYC Water Board has officially approved a 3.7% increase in water and sewer rates, effective July 1,2025.

But here’s what most people don’t realize: that rate increase is just the tip of the iceberg.
Along with it, several new policies have been quietly introduced — and they could seriously affect your building if you're not paying attention.
That’s why our Audit & Compliance team at Ashokan is reviewing all the changes, including:
• 📄Draft Rate Schedule (effective July 1, 2025)
• 🛑 Revisions to the Theft of Services Regulation
• 🚫 Revisions to Denial of Access rules
• 💸 Updates on Termination of Service for Nonpayment
• 🧾 Changes to the Reimbursable Metering Program
These updates could impact billing, tenant charges, meter access, and even lead to unexpected service shutoffs.
We’ll be sending out a full breakdown soon to help you stay ahead and avoid surprise costs.
