Staff recommended setting the agricultural groundwater production charge at $46.50 per acre-foot, which translates to less than $0.60 per acre per year assuming 2 acre-feet of water use. The agricultural rate continues to be held at approximately 9.25% of the lowest municipal and industrial (M&I) rate, consistent with Valley Water's board pricing policy that caps the ag rate at no more than 10% of the M&I rate. The board did not vote on this item — the public hearing was continued to April 28, 2026.
