City leaders are beginning the process of setting a new five-year rate schedule for water and wastewater customers, which is set to go into effect in July. Under Proposition 218, utility agencies must conduct rate studies to forecast future expenditures and determine rates to cover rising costs equally.
San Diegans will have many opportunities to ask questions and provide feedback regarding proposed water and wastewater rate increases.
This week, all city water and wastewater customers will receive a Proposition 218 notice in the mail offering information about the proposed rate increases and an upcoming public hearing on Sept. 21. The notice is available in multiple languages online.
The Water News Network is San Diego County’s source for water news and information.
