How often are water rates increased?

The City last examined its overall water delivery cost in 2010. At that time, a modest fee increase was approved for a five-year period. The last water rate increase was on July 1, 2014. No other changes have been made since that time, until now. It is not uncommon for water agencies in California to increase rates each year.
