Coachella Valley Water District customers will now be seeing more expensive water bills but the district wants to be clear the changes are profitable for their customers and not them.

It’s the district’s budget year which means they had to take a step back and reassess what they need. In this case, it was how much they needed.

“The fixed fee went up by one dollar and the consumption charge went up about 3.5 percent,” CVWD spokesperson, Katie Evans, said.

While it can be frustrating, Evans said that extra buck or so for customers is necessary to sustain their customer’s water.
