Water Rates

Your monthly bill contains at least two types of charges: a monthly Service Charge, and a charge for the amount of water you use (called consumption). You may also have other charges, such as your city’s utility users’ tax.

Rates Summary

Monthly Service Charges

The monthly Service Charge is a ready-to-serve charge applicable to all metered services. Once a meter is installed, the ready-to-serve monthly Service Charge begins and only ends when the meter is removed or the water service to the location is terminated. The charge is based on the size of the water meter installed at the location.

Water Consumption Charges “Tiered Rates”

You are charged according to the amount of water you use. The more you use, the higher your water bill. Tiered rates reward those customers using less water by charging less per unit of water. A unit of water is 748 gallons.

Tier One includes 1 to 10 units of water charged at $2.13 per unit.

Tier Two includes the next 11 to 50 units of water charged at $2.30 per unit.

Tier Three includes everything above 51 units of water charged at $2.53 per unit.

Property Owner Responsibilities

During the past several years, the West Valley Water District has experienced a large increase in population, many of which are tenants who move on without paying their water charges. These unpaid charges must be passed on to other users in the District.

To avoid this inequity, the Board of Directors has adopted the following policy.

West Valley Water District truck


Section 31701 of the California Water Code

Pursuant to the California Water Code, Section 31701, and West Valley Water District’s Water Service Regulations, Article 13, the property owner shall be held responsible for all charges owed to the District, whether or not the property owner lives on premises or signs the application for water service.

All unpaid bills shall be made a lien against the property for which service was requested pursuant to the California Water Code, Section 31701.5 Et Seq., and West Valley Water District’s Water Service Regulations, Article 13.

If you have any questions regarding this procedure, please contact Customer Service at 909-875-1804.
