WATER RATES FOR CITY DOMESTIC WATER
SERVICE AREA.
WHEREAS, Chapter 14.04 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code authorizes the
City Council to establish rates and fees sufficient for the City to recover the costs
of providing domestic water services; and
WHEREAS, City staff prepared and mailed a notice of public hearing to
residential and commercial users on July 20, 2017 as required by Proposition 218
notifying them of the proposed rate increases (Cal. Constitution Article MID,
section 6); and
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on September 6, 2017 in order to
receive evidence and hear all persons interested in or objecting to the
proposed rate increases; and
WHEREAS, the adoption of water rate increases is exempt from the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under the California Public
Resources Code Section 21080(b) (8); and
WHEREAS the City Council has considered the staff report, rate study,
public comments, and information presented at the public hearing, and written
protests; and
WHEREAS, the rates and charges set forth in Exhibit "A," attached hereto
and incorporated by reference herein, do not exceed the reasonable
estimated cost of providing the services for which the fees are charged.

incorporated herein by reference.
