FY 2016-17 and FY 2017-18 Proposed Budget and CY 2017-2018 Rates and Charges

For the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, a stable financial strategy is essential to managing imported water supplies to member agencies serving six​ counties, 19 million people and half of the state's ​economy. Metropolitan adopts two-year budgets. The 2016-17 and 2017-18 spending plan is scheduled to be adopted by the District Board of Directors in (April 2016) after a series of public workshops and a public hearing. The emerging proposal reflects a careful balance between generating revenues in a fair manner to invest in the region's water future and managing rates through steady, modest increases that reflect the cost of service.
