Carlsbad Rejects Prepaying Fixed Charges to County Water Authority

Despite rising water rates, the city of Carlsbad has opted against prepaying fixed charges to the county’s wholesale water supplier in exchange for discounted rates in 2025.

In late May, the San Diego County Water Authority asked its 23 member agencies, including the Carlsbad Municipal Water District, to consider a prepayment option.

CWA to Consider Rate Increases June 23

The San Diego County Water Authority has set a June 23 hearing for proposed SDCWA rates and charges for calendar year 2023.

A May 26 unanimous vote of the CWA board set the June 23 hearing date along with the proposed rates and charges. If those rates and charges are approved, the June 23 action will also allocate the pro-rata share of fixed charges to each CWA member agency.
