1. Improvement District 48 Water Rates Going Up — Prop 218 Process Underway The Board approved sending out a Proposition 218 notice to landowners in Improvement District 48 (near Riverbank) for a public hearing on October 6, 2026. This ag improvement district's rates have been flat at $20/acre for 16 years, but the 50+ year-old pipeline system's mounting repair costs have put the district approximately $4,000 in the red. The proposed rate increases will phase in through 2031. Affected landowners should watch for the Prop 218 notice in the mail and plan to participate in the October hearing if they wish to weigh in or file a protest.
