The City of Huntington Beach is committed to providing safe, reliable, and affordable drinking water to nearly 200,000 residents and the businesses we serve. The proposed rate increase for water and sewer is approximately 8.5 cents per day for the first year. This will help maintain the City’s nine wells, four reservoirs, three booster stations, more than 600 miles of distribution mains, and approximately 55,000 service connections.

The City’s rates were last adjusted in 2019, and the City Council is considering new rates to start Monday, July 1. As a public water provider, the City can only charge its customers for the costs associated with providing water and sewer service; the City cannot earn a profit. A public hearing will be held on Tuesday, April 16, at 6:00 p.m. during the City Council meeting.
