Lacey City Council seeks more analysis before approving stormwater rate increases

Stormwater utility rates — the fees that pay for managing runoff across Lacey — are on the council's agenda, but not to a decision yet.

The Lacey City Council discussed proposed stormwater rate increases during a work session on Monday, August 25, 2026, and asked staff for more analysis before approving them.

We'll update this story as the rate proposal returns to council. In the meantime, agendas and staff reports for upcoming meetings are posted on the City of Lacey website, and council meetings are open to public comment.
