NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
COACHELLA VALLEY WATER DISTRICT
PLACEMENT OF WATER AND SEWER AVAILABILITY CHARGES ON TAX ROLLS
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that pursuant to Water Code Sections 31031.6, 31032.1 – 31032.6, 31104 and 31104.6, the Public Affairs and Customer Experience Director of the Coachella Valley Water District (“CVWD”) has filed with the CVWD Clerk of the Board a written report containing a description of each parcel of real property in CVWD within Riverside County and Imperial County to which domestic water service and/or sewage and waste service has been made available, and showing thereon the amount of the domestic water service and/or sewage and waste service availability charge for each such parcel to be levied for Fiscal Year July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027
CVWD levies a domestic water availability charge per year for each acre of land or for each parcel of land less than an acre. CVWD also levies a sewage and waste service availability charge per year for each acre of land or for each parcel of land less than an acre. The levy is made against all lands within the above area to which domestic water service and/or sewage and waste service has been made available for any purpose by CVWD whether the water service and/or sewage and waste service was actually used or not.
Parcels having an active service during the Fiscal Year 2025-2026, or any portion thereof, shall be considered as having met and satisfied such charges for the Fiscal Year 2026-2027, for up to the first acre of said parcel. No separate billings for such charges shall be rendered. The amount of the charges shall be added to the current year’s county tax rolls and shall be collected together with general taxes.
A public hearing on the placement of these charges on the tax rolls will be held before the Board of Directors of CVWD at 8:00 a.m., or as soon thereafter as practical, on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, at Steve Robbins Administration Building, 75-515 Hovley Lane, Palm Desert, California.
Please note that no change/increase in the availability charges is proposed and the only recommendation to the Board will be to consider continuing said charges at the same rates and placement on the tax rolls.
Dated:
Sylvia M. Bermudez, Clerk of the Board
