Due to the drought in California, many communities have tiered water rates. There are different rates for Conservation Usage, Normal Usage and Excessive Usage. The usage is measured in the number of hundred cubic feet (hcf) the property owner uses. During the winter, a property owner will pay $24.72 plus $1.54 per hcf for Normal Usage.
