The rates adopted for 2025-2027 will provide customers with long-term value by investing over $6.1 million in needed capital investments and maintenance of local water infrastructure essential to the delivery and treatment of reliable, quality water.  

Investments in the Clearlake Service Area include but are not limited to a new well essential to the delivery of reliably clean water, renovations and modifications to plant facilities, the replacement of aging mains and meters, pumping and purification equipment, and systemwide investments in SCADA technology essential to ensure that treated lake water meets federal and state drinking water standards. As part of our commitment to reliability and public safety, Golden State Water proactively invests in upgrading and maintaining its fire hydrants.
