Water Rate Increases Approved Despite Opposition: The board approved a 7% water rate increase for 2026 after initially considering a 10% increase through the Proposition 218 process. Despite receiving 726 written protest votes (24% of total parcels), this fell short of the 1,534 votes needed to block the increase. The board set a maximum ceiling of 10% annual increases through 2030, though they emphasized this doesn't guarantee 10% increases each year.
