Long Beach water rates cut by 8 percent to save 60000 customers
The Board of Water Commissioners approved a rate reduction effective Oct 1, lowering the average two month bill by 48 to 64 cents for 2400 to 3200 cubic feet. The basic charge falls from 21 to 18 cents per 100 cubic feet for the first 5000, while the 60 cent monthly service and excess-use scales stay. Outside Long Beach, the basic rate drops 25 to 23 cents. The change reflects efficiency gains from a five year expansion plan and will raise next year’s revenue to 3,298,056 with a projected surplus of 305,780. The City Council must approve the revised rates before they take effect.
