District Board to Review Rate Update Scenarios

Public Invited to March 12 Workshop

District building with details for March 12 Rate Update Workshop.


On March 12, the Marina Coast Water District Board of Directors will review and provide input on proposed facility investment and rate scenarios with an independent rate consultant and staff. The Board will seek to maintain the District's affordable rates while also obtaining sufficient revenue to increase the pace of re-investment in aging water and sewer pipelines, pumps, reservoirs, and other facilities.


Two rate and capital facility spending scenarios will be presented for discussion and consideration by the Board. The Board will need to identify the appropriate balance between limiting rate increases and funding sufficient infrastructure rehabilitation to maintain a reliable system.


The scenarios under consideration will be:


Scenario 1: Full capital investment in facilities


Scenario 2: Measured capital investment in facilities
