The rates shown here are the wholesale rates charged by Metropolitan Water District to its member agencies. Many of these member agencies are wholesalers themselves. Your water likely “flows” through three agencies: Metropolitan, an MWD member agency and your local retailer. Each adds its own cost of doing business.

Metropolitan’s rate structure is somewhat complex. Several years ago MWD “unbundled” its rates into the various components that make up the total rate. There are at least 8 components making up the total rate plus, if you look at your property tax bill, you will also find Metropolitan Water District has ad valorem taxing authority. For more detailed information, visit MWD’s website at www.mwdh2o.com/mwdh2o/pages/finance/finance_03.html. Remember that these are wholesale rates and only indicate the magnitude of future increases.
