The Cost of Service Study develops long‐term financial projections for the District’s water utility and
calculates new rates designed to equitably recover the costs of providing service. The recommended rates
are designed to meet the District’s funding needs, comply with legal requirements, and be equitable to the
District’s customers.

The proposed rates incorporate both overall rate revenue increases as well as some modifications to the rate
structures designed to improve rate equity and align rates with the current cost of providing service. Rate
increases are phased-in over five years to minimize the annual impact on customers.
