Water Commission may issue another $21.8 million in rebates to customers
Long Beach residents and business owners could soon get another one-time credit on their monthly water bills if the Long Beach Board of Water Commissioners votes Thursday to return upward of $21.8 million to customers later this year. The vote is looming because, in March, the city lost an appeal to keep in place the Measure M charter amendment, which allowed the Water Department to transfer millions of dollars in excess money to the city’s general fund each year.
