A proposed budget for 2027 includes a potential increase in taxes and water rates. The tax rate would be $0.0273 per $100 valuation, a 3.88% change from the previous year. This would generate $33,240,000 in tax revenues for the water district.
The tax revenue is used to fund flood control and recreation. Increased taxes are needed to maintain the flood prevention system and support recreational opportunities. Further details about the proposed budget and tax increase are available, including the factors driving the need for increased costs, such as growth and aging transmission lines.
