No Price Increase at Clean Shirt Co. Laundromat Despite Eau Claire’s 20% Water Rate Hike
If you’ve noticed higher water bills lately, you’re not alone.
On April 1, 2026, Eau Claire’s water rates increased by about 20% after City Council approval. The hike aims to address a projected $2.2 million budget deficit and fund important infrastructure repairs, including a new facility for cleaner drinking water.
For local laundromats and dry cleaners, water is one of the biggest operating expenses. A recent WEAU report highlighted how this change is forcing many businesses to raise their prices just to keep up. One longtime owner mentioned their annual water bill jumping from around $27,000 to $33,000, making price adjustments necessary for survival.
We completely understand the pressure — running a laundromat in today’s economy isn’t easy.
At Clean Shirt Co. we chose a different path.
We’ve decided not to raise our prices on self-service washers, dryers, or our convenient wash-dry-fold drop-off services.
Our goal is simple: keep laundry affordable and accessible for the Eau Claire community, especially when everyday costs are already climbing.
Whether you’re a busy family, a student, an Airbnb host, or anyone who relies on reliable laundry service, we want to help ease that burden instead of adding to it. You’ll still find the same clean, staffed, welcoming space downtown with fast machines and friendly service.
Laundry is a necessary chore — it shouldn’t feel even more expensive because of rising utility costs.
If recent price increases at other laundromats have you looking for better options, we invite you to stop by Clean Shirt Co.
Same quality service, same convenient hours (6:00AM – 11 PM daily), always attended and no surprise price hikes on our core offerings.
We’re grateful for every customer who chooses us, and we’re committed to earning your loyalty by offering real value in the Chippewa Valley.
