3. Water Rates
Michael Payne gave a recap of the water rate hearing held in December 2007. Mr.
Payne gave a comparison of water rates between Golden State Water Company
and YLWD. The cost of their water to the consumer is considerably higher. Mr.
Payne also reported on pending issues with the State of California budget shortfall
and the possibility of YLWD not receiving its share of the property tax. If that
occurs, it is almost a certainty that OCWD will pass through their loss from the
State in the form of higher replenishment assessments.
