Affordability

Your water bill is a reflection of the processes involved in bringing water to your residence and/or place of business. While the actual cost of the water is free, it’s the treatment and delivery infrastructure that requires financial investments. For Camrosa, this includes two on-site water quality labs, a state-of the art desalination plant, a recycling facility, and numerous wells and reservoirs. Add in to the mix the expenses associated with powering and maintaining these facilities, plus paying the men and women who keep the whole system moving, and the costs add up quickly. So, our rates are a reflection of all that goes into maintaining our current facilities and systems, but also building in room for future projects and unpredictable events like droughts. Do the math, and you’ll see that, for most of our customers, our rates pencil out at just about one-third of a penny per gallon.
