Notice of Public Hearing

PROPOSED WATER AND WASTE WATER RATES

The RMWD Board of Directors will conduct a public hearing to consider the proposed five-year rate increase to water and wastewater services. All property owners, customers of record receiving RMWD water and wastewater services, and all other interested persons may attend the public hearing to comment on proposed rates.

Why Rate Increases are Necessary

Financial Stability: Without adequate rate increases, the revenue generated by water sales will not be sufficient to cover the costs of operating. The proposed rates will allow RMWD to fully fund operating expenses, capital costs, and meet reserve requirements.

Rising Purchased Water Costs: RMWD spends over $26M annually to bring water to the District. These costs continue to increase.

Capital Projects: Significant repairs and replacements are required over the next 5 years to provide safe and reliable water service to homes, businesses, and groves on demand, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
