Phelan Piñon Hills Community Services District 4176 Warbler Road •P. O. Box 294049 • Phelan, CA 92329-4049 • (760) 868-1212 Fax (760) 868-2323 NOTICE OF WATER RATE CHANGE The Board of Directors and District staff has worked on system improvements and efficiencies to help minimize additional costs of service such as electricity and water replacement. In spite of District efforts, the costs of providing and delivering water have continued to rise, offsetting the efficiencies created by the District. After a comprehensive rate study, several public workshops, and a public hearing, the Board of Directors approved a multi-year rate change on February 20, 2013, the first rate change since the District was formed in 2008. The rate change for 2014 was postponed from January 1 to March 1 to allow the Board of Directors additional time to conduct public workshops and a comprehensive review of the budget. Water rates for all customers of the Phelan Piñon Hills Community Services District are scheduled to change beginning with the bill you will receive in May 2014.
