Wastewater & Recycled Water Rates
On June 26, 2017, the City Council approved the 2017 Wastewater and Recycled Water Rate Study, which outlined how the proposed rates were calculated. Only those developed parcels within the Phase One area will be charged for these services. These rates will be charged once the wastewater and recycled water service is provided to the customer.
The 2017 Wastewater and Recycled Water Rate Study was developed based upon assumptions for the operation, maintenance and management costs of the Civic Center Water Treatment Facility (CCWTF). The CCWTF has been operating almost three years, and the City has collected the actual operation and maintenance costs. The Wastewater and Recycled Water Rates were developed to provide a fair and equitable method of obtaining revenue for the operation and maintenance of the wastewater and recycled water systems. This study was updated June 28, 2021.
On April 22, 2024, the City Council conducted a public hearing on the 2024 Wastewater and Recycled Water Rate Study. Staff presented an update to the proposed rates for wastewater and recycled water for Fiscal Years 2024-2025, 2025-2026, 2026-2027 and 2027-2028. A public hearing notice has been mailed to all the affected property owners within the Civic Center Water Treatment Facility - Phase One with additional information including the proposed rates.

WASTEWATER AND RECYCLED WATER BILLING
In an effort to simplify the collection of the wastewater service fees, the wastewater service charges for each developed parcel within the Phase One area are added to the parcel’s property tax bill. This method reduces the City’s burden of sending out wastewater bills on a monthly basis. Furthermore, this method reduces and potentially eliminates non-payment of charges due to the additional leverage of a lien on the property.
