The District’s complex water, sewer, and recycled water systems need ongoing maintenance, replacement and improvements. The District’s Board of Directors is considering rate increases to fund the capital improvement program. By investing in our system today, we will lower long-term costs, protect the environment, and ensure long-term, quality service.

At the May 15, 2025 Board Meeting, the Board of Directors will discuss and vote on proposed water and sewer rate increases for the 2025-2026 fiscal year. These rate increases would fund the water and sewer pipeline replacement program and help to keep up with increasing construction costs. For more information on what projects the proposed rate increases would fund, visit LINK.

The District continues to actively pursue grant funding. Over the last 10 years the District has received more than $18 million in grant revenue and $79 million in low-interest loans to help offset rate increases. By successfully securing grant funding and operating efficiently, the District continues to have the lowest water and sewer rates in our region, even with the proposed increases. 

Proposed Rate Increases for a Typical Residential Customer

Typical residential customer has a ¾” meter, uses 6 CCF (4,488 gallons) per month and has 3 sewer units. If approved, the proposed rates would go into effect July 1st.

Water Rates

The majority of water customers are charged a Metered Rate (Base Rate + Consumption). A typical metered rate residential customer has a ¾” meter and uses 6 CCF (4,488 gallons) per month. Non-metered customers are charged a Flat Rate.  If approved, the proposed rates for FY 25/26 would go into effect on July 1, 2025.

Sewer Rates

Sewer customers are charged based on the number of sewer units. A typical residential customer with a kitchen and two bathrooms has 3 sewer units. If approved, the proposed rates for FY 25/26 would go into effect on July 1, 2025.
