EBMUD weighs extra surcharge amid drought forecast
East Bay Municipal Utility District plans further water rationing and may add a new surcharge as revenue from reduced use cuts into profits. General Manager John Hamnett noted the first surcharge reflected a 25 percent drop, not the later 35 to 40 percent reduction. Rainfall near Mokelumne River remains well below last year, and runoff could reach only half normal, keeping ceilings in place for months or a year.
