San Diego County Water Authority Proposes 3% Water Rate Hike for 2027

The San Diego County Water Authority Monday proposed a 3% rate increase for 2027, with similar adjustments tentatively planned through 2032.

SDCWA leaders said while the rate hike was painful, it was actually below the national rate of inflation and a significant decrease from earlier projections — at least partly due to two water-sharing agreements with other agencies signed this spring.
