EBMUD Tax Rate Set At 29 Cents For 1951 52
Oakland. East Bay Municipal Utility District approves a 29 cent per $100 assessed value tax rate for 1951 52, up four cents from last year to fund fire protection costs previously borne by municipalities and five districts. Breuner notes hydrant installation costs will be paid by cities later. The rate is far below the 50 cent level of 1908 when operations began. Public utility income mostly funds bond retirement and interest, with operating revenues covering a portion. The district has reduced bonded debt from 77 million to about 44.4 million, with all bond retirements on schedule and 1977 as the target for complete retirement of water bonds.
