Utility rate studies are completed by an independent consultant and assist the District in determining rates to support improved service levels. Three utility rate studies that were recently commissioned and completed by the BCMUD Board of Directors are the Drought Rate Study, the Water and Wastewater Rate Study, and the Stormwater Rate Study.
