to increase the potable water rate by 5.54 per 100 cubic feet.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The Board of Directors of Costa Real Municipal Water District
will increase water rates effective October 1, 1986. The increase
by CRMWD is due to the increased cost of water purchased from
the San Diego County Water Authority and the Metropolitan Water
District of Southern California. The water rate is set by CRMWD
and revenue collected by the City is passed through to the
District. The increase approved by CRMWD of 5.5(� per 100 cubic
feet will increase the current rate from 74.5G to 80� per 100
cubic feet (a 7.4% increase).
The water service charge set by the City will not be changed.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The 5.5G increase in water rates will generate $301,990.00
annually for Costa Real Municipal Water District. There will
be no direct fiscal impact to the City.
The typical residential customer will realize an increase
tc his water bill of approximately $10.00 per year due to the
rate increase.
