On January 3, the DWP Board approved a Proposition 218 notice for
adding the increased Sewer Service Charge fees to DWP bills. DWP does
not control these fees. The Department's bills are simply the vehicle
by which the city collects the money. The City Council had already
approved the increased sewer fees on October 19, 2011.
On December 6, the DWP Board approved an emergency increase in the
Water Quality Improvement Adjustment Factor to cover the cost of water
quality programs that are mandated by government rules and
regulations. The changes were to take effect February 15. The City
Council must approve these changes by ordinance. The City Council has
not acted on them yet.
