Wastewater Rates <br />The City's wastewater rates are independently established by the City Council pursuant to <br />a rate ordinance, and do not require approval by any other legal entity. Single family residential <br />customers are billed a flat rate for sewer service. Non-residential customers pay volumetric charges <br />based on customer class and metered water use, subject to a minimum monthly charge. <br />The City has increased its sewer rates each year for the past 10 years. Rate increases <br />have accounted for the anticipation of increased funding needs for the City's collection system <br />capital improvement program, the City's pro rata share of the Authority's capital improvement <br />program, and the City's sewer enterprise operating cost inflation. The following table shows the <br />City's historical and adopted sewer rates. These rates were adopted pursuant to Article XIIID of the <br />California Constitution.
