Adjusting Water Service Charges per Resolution No. 3352

On June 4, 2025, the Western Municipal Water District of Riverside County adopted Resolution No. 3352 to adjust water service charges for the Riverside and Murrieta Service Areas in California, ensuring sustainable funding for the operation, maintenance, and administration of its water services. The adjustment is not the result of a competitive procurement, but rather an administrative action authorized under state law to maintain service reliability and infrastructure integrity without expanding system capacity. The resolution is exempt from environmental review under Public Resources Code § 21080(b)(8) and CEQA Guidelines § 15273, confirming that the rate change does not trigger additional environmental requirements. The action is reflected in a public forecast posting on August 6, 2025, and is governed by local regulatory authority rather than federal contract standards. There is no identified contractor, no formal contract value, no line-item pricing, and no competitive evaluation process involved. The District, located at 14205 Meridian Parkway, Riverside, CA 92518, serves as both the approving and implementing entity, with Rick Aragon, Assistant General Manager and Chief Financial Officer, serving as the primary point of contact. No federal acquisition regulation clauses, packaging requirements, delivery schedules, invoicing systems, or certification obligations apply, as this is a local utility rate-setting action under state authority. There are no purchase orders, delivery terms, inspection criteria, or performance metrics tied to a contractor; the outcome is the implementation of the new fee structure to support ongoing water delivery within the existing service areas. The adjustment mechanism relies on public notice and regulatory compliance rather than procurement procedures, and no UEI, CAGE code, socioeconomic certifications, or federal contracting roles such as COR or PCO are relevant or specified.
