Fullerton Water Rates

Is there any basis for a rate hike? 

Administrative law judge Douglas Long thinks the Suburban Water District's recent attempt to hike rates for customers in Whittier and La Mirada nearly 40% was excessive. The San Gabriel Valley Tribune reported that the judge has recommended a reduction in Suburban Water System's rate-hike request now before the state Public Utilities Commission.

I can only imagine what the judge would think of Fullerton's recent attempt to jack water rates by 90%.

City Hall has had a tough time accounting for how they determine what you should pay and why.  It seems the rate structure is either a trade secret (think franchise tax) or too complex for words (think indefensible).

Keep a weary eye on your water bill...
