Approximately 70% of this increase is due to the additional costs placed on this District along with other water producers in the area, for the replenishment of the undergound by the Orange County "dater District Approximately,30% of this increase is required due to the additional power costs required in the provision of increased water pressures, and the increased costs of material and labor.
