On December 8, 2020 meeting, following a detailed review of various 2021 Water Year Budget scenarios, the Arvin-Edison Water Storage District Board of Directors, fixed the 2021 Water Year (WY) Surface Water Service Area “Standby” charges and “Water Use” charges to be the same as those proposed and explained in the November 30, 2020 landowner letter for both an average and dry year scenario as follows.

The average year scenario “Standby” charges and “Water Use” charges will be in effect if the District does not have to restrict water use during the 2021 WY. The 2021 charges are as follows:
