Portlanders already facing the largest combined water and sewer rate hike in more than a decade will soon be on the hook for a processing fee as well.
City officials plan to slap a 2.95% surcharge on all customers who pay their utility bill with either a credit or debit card beginning June 3.
For a typical Portland household, that will amount to about $56.74 a year on top of the $1,923.48 annually they are set to pay starting in July.
