Water Rate Information
Brea imports 100% of its water from two major water suppliers: Metropolitan Water District and Cal Domestic. Both suppliers have increased their rates consistently over that past several years. In addition, the city is required to expend capital for essential maintenance and improvements to the Brea water system.
The current water rate structure is based upon the following:
--Monthly “service charge” based upon water meter size
--Monthly “usage” rate based upon the amount of water used
Revenues collected from these water rates pay for operations and maintenance of the City’s water system and related assets, including six reservoirs with a combined capacity of 67.5 million gallons. For more information and water conservation tips please call (714) 990-7687.
Current rates (effective January 1, 2013) are listed below.
