ITEM EXPLANATION
The Board of Directors of Carlsbad Municipal Water District will increase
water rates effective July 15, 1989. The increase by CMWD 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 CMWD and revenue collected by the City is passed
through to the District. The increase approved by CMWD of two cents (2 G)
per 100 cubic feet will increase the current rate from 98G to $1.01 per
100 cubic feet.
The water service charge set by the City will not be changed.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The two cents (2 �) increase in water rates will generate approximately
$144,000 annually for Carlsbad Municipal Water District. There will be
no direct fiscal impact to the City.
The typical residential customer will realize an increase to his water
bill of approximately $4.32 per year due to the rate increase.
