Adoption of Sewer Charges for Fiscal Year 2026–2027 for Parcels with Sewer-Only Service

Western Municipal Water District is establishing sewer service charges for properties in the Cities of Riverside and Corona that receive sewer service but not water service from the district, with these charges set to be collected through the Riverside County tax roll for Fiscal Year 2026–2027. The charges are based on a formal written report that outlines the cost structure and methodology for fairly allocating sewer service expenses to these sewer-only parcels, ensuring that those benefiting from the service contribute appropriately without duplication through water service billing. The implementation will align with local tax collection procedures, leveraging the existing infrastructure of the county’s tax roll to efficiently and reliably collect the assessed fees. The Director of Finance, Veronica Zheng, serves as the primary point of contact for inquiries, and the initiative is part of a broader effort by the district to ensure equitable and sustainable funding for essential sewer infrastructure services across its service area.
