The District's Ten-Year Master Plan included over $20 million in capital projects, and the independent consulting firm recommended a 12% annual water user fee increase to fund the Master Plan. The SRWD Board adopted the financial plan, and it subsequently was included in the bond offering. The District continues to follow this expected strategic direction for both system improvements and the funding model adopted by the Board of Directors.
The upcoming November 11th, 2025 regular Board meeting will include a resolution to implement the 12% rate increase as part of the 2026 budget. The resolution will be in accordance with the District Rules and Regulations for modifying Appendix B.
The Water Service Fee is proposed to increase from $102.28 per EQR per quarter to $114.55 per EQR per quarter. All other fees such as irrigation or usage/consumption over the allocation will also increase 12%.
