California is bracing for substantial increases in water rates, with San Diego County's public water agency announcing a 14% rise in 2025. Water delivery costs from suppliers are driving these price hikes, which must be passed on to consumers. The San Diego City Council has approved incremental increases, expecting cumulative rises up to 70% by 2030. Despite challenging cost circumstances, the water authority expressed commitment to addressing rate inflation and maintaining essential services amid economic pressures.
While we cannot control passen-through costs from our suppliers, we recognize that cost increases are hard to swallow, and we're doing everything possible to combat rate inflation.
San Diego is facing a cumulative water rate hike of 70% by 2030, driven by supplier increases and economic pressures being passed onto consumers.
