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

The Western Municipal Water District has adopted Resolution No. 3392 to establish sewer service charges for Fiscal Year 2026–2027. This action specifically targets parcels of real property located in the Cities of Riverside and Corona that receive sewer service but do not receive water service from the district. The primary purpose of these charges is to fund the ongoing operation, maintenance, and capital renewal of the existing sewer system, with the explicit condition that funds will not be used for infrastructure expansion. Administrative oversight is managed by Veronica Zheng, Director of Finance, and the charges are collected through the Riverside County tax roll. The action is statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under Public Resources Code section 21080(b)(8) and CEQA Guidelines section 15273. This is a regulatory and fiscal measure rather than a competitive procurement process, and as such, it does not contain standard federal acquisition clauses, evaluation factors, or traditional contract pricing structures.
