The Napa City Council gave approval for the Water Division to adopt a new pricing model that would impose a minimum charge on all water customers. The utility needs to bolster revenue because water sales have steadily decreased since 2014 amid drought. Some expenses remain constant, despite changes in water consumption, hence the need for the new minimum charge to create stable revenue. A public hearing on the potential change will be held on Nov. 7.
