Water rates for San Juan Capistrano, California, residents and commercial customers will rise beginning in September, after the Santa Margarita Water District’s Board of Directors unanimously approved the raise Aug. 2, along with plans to begin a new water rate study.
Rates for potable and recycled water, as well as that for wastewater services, will increase up to $30 per month and will steadily increase over the next several years, according to an Aug. 3 press release announcing the district’s decision.
