1. City of Marina's Proposed 7% Utility Users Tax (Measure Q) Would Add Roughly $1.5 Million Annually to MCWD Customer Bills District staff presented a detailed, informational-only analysis of Measure Q, a proposed 7% utility users tax heading to voters. If passed, the tax would apply to water consumption charges, fixed meter charges, capacity/developer fees, and several other district charges — but not wastewater/sewer charges. Over 10 years, water consumption and fixed charges alone would generate an estimated $11.5 million in UUT collections. For a typical single-family residential customer in Marina using ~4 HCF/month, the tax would add roughly $6/month (~$74/year). The district emphasized it has taken no official position for or against the measure and presented the data as fair and impartial information for public education.
