Truckee Meadows Water Authority

Public Workshop: Cost-of-Service Adjustment Dec. 9, 2025
2025-12-09 18:00 - 19:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
Truckee Meadows Water Authority (TMWA) invites you to a public workshop on upcoming adjustments to the way water rates are structured. These changes are based on a Cost of Service (COS) study presented to the TMWA Board of Directors in September. The purpose of the COS adjustment is fairness. It ensures customers are proportionally charged for the costs of providing water service, including both fixed costs (pipes, pumps, treatment plants, reservoirs) and variable costs (power, treatment chemicals, etc.). Importantly, the COS adjustment does not increase TMWA’s overall revenue. Instead, it redistributes costs more equitably so that no customer group is subsidizing another.
For most customers, this will mean little to no change in bills. Many will see slightly reduced per-gallon water charges, while customers with high seasonal water use may notice adjustments as rates are balanced across service classes.
Join us to learn more, view bill examples, ask questions and share your input.
NOTE: Both scheduled Cost-of-Service workshops will cover the same material.
