As a regulated utility, every three years 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.
2020 GRC (2023 Rates)
Effective July 31, 2023, the California Public Utilities
Commission approved the 2020 GRC which includes new rates to
ensure the safety and dependability of your local water system.
