Water Meter Rates and Charges

 
Meter charges ensure that water is available for use at your tap whenever you need it, much like phone, cable, power or other utilities. Also known as fixed charges, they help pay for costs associated with operating and maintaining CVWD’s water treatment and delivery system, and they are based on meter size.
