West Marin Rate Study 2025

(Updated April 24, 2025) The North Marin Water District has approved a rate study for the West Marin Service Area. The District Board of Directors initiated the rate study due to known near and long-term critical capital improvement projects combined with increasing impacts of inflation, electricity costs and other costs that affect supplies, operations and construction. The rate study considered all of these impacts to appropriately plan for a long-term rate structure with a goal of establishing a secure, multi-year financial plan that supports operating costs and capital spending necessary to provide water services that are reliable, high-quality, environmentally responsible and reasonably priced. The rate study was approved by the Board at the April 15, 2025 Board meeting.
