About Rates & Charges

Each year, we review our rates and make adjustments to reflect the cost of providing water to our customers. Rates are typically approved by our Board of Directors in November and become effective January 1. Rate Hearings are always posted at least 30 days in advance.

What Your Rates Cover

Customer bills include a base charge (water base) that covers administrative and fixed costs. The water usage charge is a tiered rate per 1,000 gallons that increases with higher water usage. Customer rates cover operational costs and capital projects needed for the operation of the District’s distribution system.

Residential and Non-residential Rates

Currently, the District has five types of 5/8-inch, residential water taps; Inside Use Only Micro-Home Less than 1,000 square feet (sf), Inside Use Only Single Family Home Greater than 1,000 sf, Conservation (Urban) Tap, Conservation (Urban) Plus, and Standard Tap, along with one 3/4-inch Estate Tap which wasa introduced in 2024. The taps are differentiated by the amount of water available (allotted) to the customer each year based on the amount of water that was dedicated to the District at the time of construction. The water rate structures are different for each tap.
