Tiered Water Rates and Water Budget
|
 
|
Over 70% of residents may benefit from a lower water bill with the Tiered Rate Water Budgets!
|
Background
In February 2010, the Corona City Council approved Ordinance 3025 to establish tiered water rates and water budgets for Corona Department of Water & Power customers. The new Tiered Water Rates and Water Budgets will go into effect in April 2010.
Tiered rates and water budgets are effective at promoting efficient water use and resource conservation. They provide enough water for typical but efficient water use indoors and outdoors. Tiered rates also provide a means to charge fair rates based on how water is being used. Inefficient water users will pay a higher cost for water than efficient water users.
In the upcoming months you will be receiving more information on the tiered water rates and water budgets. This information will include information on your individualized water budget and an insert with your water bill that will let you know what your bill would have been if the tiered rates were in effect. This is meant to help you to plan for any changes to your bill and to make changes to use water more efficiently if you are over your budget.
