San Dimas water company seeks to increase rates
Golden State Water Co. in San Dimas is looking to hike water rates in several local cities to fund more than $100 million in infrastructure improvements. The increases, which are subject to approval from the California Public Utilities Commission, would boost water rates in the agency's Region III area by $30.03 million, or 32.67 percent, in 2010; $1.7 million, or 1.39 percent in 2011; and $3.6 million, or 2.92 percent, in 2012.
Region III serves about 98,300 customers in Arcadia, El Monte, Monrovia, Irwindale, Monterey Park, Rosemead, San Gabriel, Temple City and San Dimas, as well as other areas of San Bernardino, Imperial and Orange counties.
A public hearing for Golden State's proposed rate hikes will be held at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. Friday at the Alexander Hughes Community Center, at 1700 Danbury Road in Claremont.
The date of the public hearing is actually Thursday, Feb. 5, at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m., not Friday, as reported in the article.
