Didn’t CVWD just increase rates last year with the drought penalties
CVWD has not increased its domestic water rates since 2010. The drought penalties that went into effect in 2015 are a temporary tool to encourage additional conservation and help fund conservation programs. Only 25% of our customers pay a drought penalty, on average, and anyone can avoid them by reducing water use. CVWD’s Board has stated that drought penalties will go away when the state lifts the conservation mandates.
