CCSD adopts 3.25% inflationary increase to water and sewer rates for FY26‑27
Summary
The Cambria Community Services District board adopted Resolution 17‑2026 to raise water and sewer rates by 3.25% for fiscal year 2026‑27, citing infrastructure needs and the desire to avoid steeper future increases; the vote was unanimous.
The Cambria Community Services District board voted unanimously on May 14 to adopt Resolution 17‑2026, approving a 3.25% inflationary increase to water and sewer rates for fiscal year 2026‑27.
General Manager McElhaney told the board the increase is needed "to provide adequate revenue to the district and the enterprise funds for the annual cost of water and sewer operations" and to help fund planned infrastructure projects. Director Gray said the increase is meant to avoid the kind of sharp, catch‑up hikes that followed earlier periods when rates were kept artificially low.
Director (Mover) made the motion to adopt the resolution and it was seconded; Miss Dodson conducted a roll call and each director voted "Aye." President Farmer said the board shares "a love for this community" and acknowledged that rate adjustments are difficult but sometimes necessary.
The resolution specifies a 3.25% inflationary adjustment for FY26‑27 and will be implemented through the district's standard billing processes.
