Wastewater & Effluent Rate Study 2023 

Water and Wastewater Final Rate Study, Effective January 1, 2024

The Town of Camp Verde engaged Wildan Financial Services to conduct a water and wastewater study and long-range term financial plan for the Town’s utilities. The new study develops a long-term plan that will enable the Town to recover sufficient funds to meet operating expenses, capital outlays, debt services, and utility coverage requirements. Presentations regarding the new study were made to Town Council on 05-25-2023 and 08-16-2023. A Notice of Intent for Proposed Water and Wastewater Rates, Fees, or Service Charges was issued and posted on the Town Website on August 23-2023. A newspaper ad was published in the Verde Independent/Camp Verde Bugle on Sunday, October 8 and a press release was sent to Paige Daniels at the Verde Independent on Tuesday, October 17. A notice of intent for the proposed utilities rate increase has been posted on the Town website and on social media. A presentation was made to the View’s Homeowner Association, meetings were held with serval citizens and a public open house was completed on October 26 from 4 to 6 PM at the Business Resource & Innovation Center at 385 S. Main Street. Town staff gathered public input regarding the rate increases and educated citizens on why the rate increases are needed. Town Council Approved Resolution 2023-1122 on the November 1, 2023, Council Meeting.  Copies of the Resolution, Rate Study and Public Outreach are below:

  Stormwater Management Plan 

The Town of Camp Verde has one of the last Arizona rivers that flows year round: the Verde River. Within the Camp Verde Town limits, the Verde River watershed includes Beaver Creek and Clear Creek. The Town of Camp Verde, through adoption of our Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) strives to reduce the discharge of pollutants by working to protect and satisfy appropriate water quality requirements of the Clean Water Act. The Town will periodically publish updates to this website that address implementation of Best Management Practices (BMP’s) and measurable goals required by the Plan. Currently we are in the process of updating our SWMP, when the new version is available we will have it posted on our website and welcome comments and suggestions.
