After a very wet winter, the Contra Costa Water District dropped its drought surcharge and ended most drought-related water restrictions that were in effect one year ago.
The Mercury News (San Jose, Calif.), April 11, 2023
Contra Costa Water District’s Board of Directors approved a temporary drought surcharge as part of its Drought Management Program. The 15% surcharge will take effect July 1 to promote conservation and to recoup costs related to the ongoing drought.
The Drought Management Program also offers a credit for households using 200 gallons per day or less.
