The Joshua Basin Water District meets tonight. Reporter Mike Lipsitz tells us what’s on the agenda…
At tonight’s meeting of the Joshua Basin Water District, the board will hold a public hearing on proposed increases to standby charges for the coming fiscal year. Also tonight, directors will look ahead as part of a discussion on variables expected to impact future water rates. Those variables include chromium-6 compliance, capital improvements, the cost of water recharge, and building adequate reserve funds. Forecasting the financial impacts of those issues is important in determining future rate increases. And finally, a midyear budget review and two appointments to the Citizen’s Advisory Committee are also on tonight’s agenda. It all starts at the 6:30 p.m. at the Joshua Basin Water District offices on Chollita Road in Joshua Tree.
