A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SAN JACINTO, CALIFORNIA ADJUSTING WATER
RATES
WHEREAS, the schedule of water rates currently
established for subscribers of water through the water
system of the City of San Jacinto is contained in Resolution
No. 1765 and Resolution No. 1766 , but is not adequate to
defray the costs of ownership, maintenance and improvement
of said system; and
WHEREAS, the City of San Jacinto has caused to be
prepared a Master Plan of the city's water service area,
which identifies capital facilities deficiencies of
approximately $6. 0 million dollars and recommends that up to
40% of water revenues be dedicated to the cost of
construction of capital improvements; and
WHEREAS, the present water rate structure provides only
for the operation and maintenance of the water department
and does not provide any funds for a capital improvement
program; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of San Jacinto
has given study to the proposed rate structure; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of San Jacinto
has held a Public Hearing thereon as required by law, and
selected a new rate structure, which will include funds for
a phased capital improvement program;

Jacinto does resolve as follows:
