City Of Tehama Rate Study Report 2025-2029
The City of Tehama's Rate Study Report, prepared by the Rural Community Assistance Corporation, assesses the city's drinking water rate structure and financial sustainability through 2029. The report analyzes current revenue, expenses, and assets, concluding that current rates will not adequately cover operational costs and capital improvement reserves beyond FYE 2026. It recommends a rate increase and a revised flat-rate structure to ensure system sustainability, fairness to users, and proper funding for operations, maintenance, and capital infrastructure replacement, alongside establishing a formal reserve policy.
