RRB's, MPWMD's and DOD/FEA's Positions

MPWMD and DOD/FEA support both CalAm's Application rate design proposals and its modified rate design proposals. MPWMD sees CalAm's proposals as impelled by unique circumstances, consistent with the requirements of MPWMD's Ordinance No. 92, and an integral part of MPWMD's comprehensive water management plan.

RRB agrees with the need for and structure of CalAm's per capita rate design. RRB opposes CalAm's proposal to add higher rate blocks to its current rate design, that rate design which would remain in effect until a per capita rate design is triggered by water production approaching SWRCB's Carmel River extraction limit. Adding higher rate blocks is the sole unsettled issue the active parties have referred to the Commission for determination.
