Lake Elsinore: Hearing scheduled Thursday on water district rate increases

Posted by: Maven on June 24, 2009 at 6:44 am

From the North County Times:

Residents will have a chance to voice their opinions on proposed water and sewer rate increases to the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District board Thursday.

A public hearing is scheduled for 4 p.m. at the district’s headquarters, 31315 Chaney St. in Lake Elsinore.

The district is proposing to revise its five-tier water rate structure and also bump up the costs in each of those levels. Higher rates also are proposed for monthly meter and power charges, as well as for the district’s sewer service. If approved Thursday, the changes would go into effect July 1.

District officials say the water-related increases reflect about a 20 percent escalation across the board to offset the rising price of the water it buys from Western Municipal Water District. Western, the retail vendor for distributors such as Elsinore Valley, purchases imported water from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California.
