Rates
Effective for billing periods beginning Jan 1, 2024 or later.
The general philosophy used to establish rates is to recover the cost of operations and maintenance including cost for staff, treatment chemicals, utilities, ongoing repair and maintenance of facilities, water acquisition, and debt service. Rates are reviewed during the budget process each year and a public hearing on the budget and rates is held at the November board meeting. New rates generally go into effect the first billing period beginning after January 1.

Drought Rates
Due to extreme drought conditions in 2021, the Centennial Water Board of Directors directed staff to prepare a drought rate schedule. Moving forward, drought rates will be part of the rate calculation process. There are identified rates for Stage 1 and Stage 2 drought conditions. If drought conditions occur, the Board of Directors could declare a drought stage that would cause these rates to go into effect.
Drought rates are subject to change due to, but not limited to, water supply conditions such as drought and the provision of sufficient funds for the operation of Centennial Water.
