 About HMWSA

April 15, 2009

Customers,

    Harvest-Monrovia Water, Sewer and Fire Protection Authority Effective June 1, 2009 will have to increase water and sewer rates by 10%.  The Authority’s Board of Directors had to make a difficult decision at the regular monthly meeting on April 14, 2009.

    Due to Debt Service requirements with the Bond Indentures of the Authority we had no choice but to raise rates to meet the requirements of these Bond Issues.  Because of the economic downturn and the major slow down in development and home construction the Authority has seen a decrease in revenues available to repay these Bond Issues.  It is for this fact the rate increase was needed.  This increase was held   to a minimum and hopefully economic conditions will improve and an additional increase will not be needed above the 2% increase at the first of every year.

     Also beginning June 1, 2009 there will be a convenience fee of $2.50 for use of your Credit Card to pay your water bill.
