Placentia

Placentia

Overview

Golden State Water has been serving the Placentia area since 1929. We are proud to provide high-quality, reliable water service to approximately 16,200 customers in Placentia and portions of Anaheim, Cowan Heights, Lemon Heights, Orange and Yorba Linda.

Three water systems serve the Placentia Customer Service Area. Water delivered to customers in the Cowan Heights, Placentia, and Yorba Linda systems is a blend of groundwater pumped from the Orange County Groundwater Basin and imported water from the Colorado River Aqueduct and State Water Project (imported and distributed by Metropolitan Water District of Southern California).

Conservation

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. New rates allow for investments to avoid the costly and sometimes dangerous effects of deferring maintenance or delaying the replacement of aging infrastructure.

2023 GRC (2025 Rates)

As required by the CPUC every three years, in August of 2023, Golden State Water Company filed its 2023 General Rate Case (GRC) with the California Public Utilities Commission. This rate plan proposes local infrastructure investments and water rates for the years 2025, 2026 and 2027. Any adjustments to current rates will not go into effect until January 2025, at the earliest. Click here to learn more. Learn more about the rate-making process and localized information on new rates and investments in the 2025-27 Proposed Investments/Rates Fact Sheet

  • The average residential customer with a 5/8 X 3/4” meter using 10,472 gallons (1,400 cubic feet or 14 Ccf) per month will see their 2023 monthly bill increase from $84.71 to $105.99 in 2025, at the earliest (excluding any applicable surcharges). 
  • The average commercial customer with a 5/8 X 3/4” meter using 51,612 gallons (6,900 cubic feet or 69 Ccf) per month will see their 2023 monthly bill increase from $348.93 to $440.15 in 2025, at the earliest (excluding any applicable surcharges).

Turf Removal Program

The Metropolitan Water District of Orange County (MWDOC) offers a Turf Removal Program to qualifying residents and businesses. Using drought tolerant landscape can use 50-70% less water than turf grass.   

Rebates start at $3 per square foot of turf grass removed.  

Rebate applications and more information can be found here. 

For questions about the program, please call (714) 593-5036 or email turfremoval@mwdoc.com.

Spray to Drip Irrigation Program

The Spray to Drip Rebate Program is available for Orange County residential and commercial customers. Save more money and water by converting irrigation that uses a spray head into drip irrigation. Drip irrigation uses less water than spray heads by delivering water to specific locations or near the root of plants. While spray heads spray large areas, drip systems are slow, and less water is lost from wind and evaporation.

Capital Projects

GRC 2020 General Case (2022-24)

The General Rate Case approved June 29, 2023, invests over $16 million in the Placentia Customer Service Area. The new rates are being invested in your service area’s new steel water tank, new booster pumps, a new well, and backup power equipment.

GRC 2023 General Case (2025-27)

The rates proposed for 2025-2027 will provide customers with long-term value by investing over $22 million in proactive capital investments and maintenance of local water infrastructure essential to the delivery and treatment of reliable, quality water. Investments in the Placentia Service Area include but are not limited to structural improvements to a water plant, treatment equipment, reservoirs, and purification equipment essential to groundwater rehabilitation, new systemwide technology to efficiently maintain reliable operation of the water system, safety equipment, automatic meter reader technology and the replacement of aging booster station, mains, meters, and pumping plant equipment.
