Montecito Sewer Rates Jump 14%

Montecito’s sewer rates are skyrocketing 14% starting July 1st, hitting single-family homes with a $1,650 annual bill and condos at $766 — the highest in South County. Residents won’t see the hike until fall tax statements, while commercial users pay based on usage. Only one protest ballot stopped the increase, and officials warn delays cost $250K/month in repairs, with possible yearly hikes through 2031 unless grants come through.
