Marin County to see water rates jump by about 20% from MMWD
Some Marin County residents could see 20% increases to their water bills this summer if officials vote Tuesday evening to boost rates. Marin Municipal Water District said the increase is needed because of rising costs and decreasing revenues — partly driven by people responding to calls for conservation and using less water. The proposal includes rate increases for the next four years starting July 1. The average single-family customer would see their bimonthy bills — which are currently $138.66 — jump by $31.96 this summer, followed by a $20.48 increase in July 2024, $16.27 in 2025 and $11.43 in 2026.
