Arden Cordova

Overview

Golden State Water provides reliable, high-quality drinking water to approximately 16,200 customers in the Arden Cordova Customer Service Area (CSA), which includes portions of Rancho Cordova, Gold River and Arden Manor.

Water supply includes groundwater pumped from the Sacramento Valley Groundwater Basin through Golden State Water’s wells, and surface water from the American River that is treated at the Coloma Water Treatment Plant.

Drought

Following several months of storms bringing much-needed snow and rain to California, conditions have dramatically changed for many parts of the State. In response, Governor Newsom has rolled back some drought emergency provisions that are no longer needed while maintaining other measures that support regions and communities still facing water supply challenges.

Effective Sunday, May 14, 2023, Golden State Water Company modified outdoor watering restrictions to allow for watering up to three days per week. Given that water conditions will continue to evolve, customers are encouraged to use water wisely and only use what is needed.

Golden State Water is recommending customers limit outdoor irrigation between the hours of 7 PM and 8 AM per the following schedule:

Addresses Ending In: Watering Days:
Even Numbers (0, 2, 4, 6, 8) Sunday, Wednesday, Friday
Odd Numbers (1, 3, 5, 7, 9) Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday

Rates

As a regulated utility, Golden State Water’s rates are determined by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) through a General Rate Case (GRC) to ensure customers receive a fair rate for reliable, quality water service.

  • On July 15, 2020, Golden State Water filed a GRC application for the years 2022, 2023 and 2024. Learn more: 2022-24 GRC Fact Sheet
  • Effective Sept. 27, 2019, an average metered customer in the Arden Cordova Customer Service Area would see a monthly bill increase of $0.069 per 748 gallons (1 Ccf), or approximately 2.4 percent, during the 24-month amortization period, and an average flat rate customer in the Arden Cordova Customer Service Area would see a monthly bill increase of $2.13, or approximately 2.4 percent, during the 24-month amortization period.
  • Effective June 8, 2019, an average residential customer in the Arden Cordova Customer Service Area with a 5/8 x 3/4” meter using 13 Ccf per month would see a monthly bill increase of $4.72 from $30.47 to $35.19 compared to 2018 (excluding any applicable surcharges).
  • On May 30, 2019, Golden State Water’s GRC was approved by the State of California to set water rates for 2019, 2020 and 2021 and authorize infrastructure investments for the local system. New rates were implemented effective June 8, 2019. Learn more here. (English | Spanish)
  • On July 1, 2018, local water rates decreased by 2.88% (metered customers) and 2.86% (flat-rate customers) to pass cost savings from the new lower federal corporate income tax requirement through to customers. Click here to learn more.
