WATER RATE INCREASE - CALIFORNIA WATER SERVICE COMPANY

Recommendation:

That the City Council assign a subcommittee to work with staff to develop a recommended position for the City to take in the proposed rate increase.

Background:

California Water Service Company has submitted an application to the Public Utilities Commission for a series of rate adjustments over the next four years. Overall, the adjustments result in a rate increase of almost 10% over four years. As you will recall, the City Council appointed a subcommittee to review the last water rate adjustment and it recommended a course of action for the City to take. The background materials for the rate increase are available for review in my office. The Public Participation Hearing before the Public Utilities Commission on the rate increase will be held on Wednesday, December 2, 1998, at 7:00 P.M. in our City Council chambers.
