Poway’s average residential customers could see a nearly $33 bimonthly increase on their water bill next spring. The city has planned for 6 percent annual water rate increases since January 2022. The increases are considered adjustments for rate increases by the city’s water supplier, San Diego County Water Authority (SDCWA). On Jan. 1, 2025 customers will see an increase of $23.51 to their bimonthly billing period. Also starting Jan. 1, an additional $9.32 charge could be added if the City Council approves another 3 percent adjustment on the bimonthly water bills. Actual bill amounts will vary based on the amount of water households consume.
