The Cambria Community Services District rate increases were first announced May 19, 2022, and the latest increase was approved during their June 15 meeting.
The current base monthly charge is $19.42 (not including quantity charges) and will increase to $20.59 next month.
In a resolution, the board found that the increase was necessary "because the CCSD’s water and sewer utilities rely primarily on revenues from service charges to fund the costs of providing service, and therefore water and sewer rates must be set at levels adequate to fund the costs of operating and maintaining CCSD’s water, and sewer systems to support safe and reliable service."
The board said in the resolution that "the water and sewer rates to be implemented by this Resolution cover no more than the cost that CCSD incurs to provide water and sewer services as detailed in the Water, WRF and Sewer Rate analysis prepared by Bartle Wells Associates and last reviewed by the Board on March 17, 2022."
