The District conducted a rate study as part of a periodic review to ensure all customers pay their fair share for the water services they receive. This is a comprehensive legal and financial evaluation process, as the rate structure establishes how costs are divided among 60,000+ customer accounts.
The primary factors for determining the adopted updates were fairness, affordability, understandability, and encouraging efficient water use while maintaining financial stability. Updates to the rate structure do not increase revenue for the District.
The Board of Directors deliberated over the course of two years to develop the rate study. Below are the associated documents and presentations.
