On June 11, the Orange County Water and Sewer Authority board of directors will consider the proposed budget for June ’09 to June ’10.
The proposed budget includes $18.5 million for operating costs, $9.7 million for debt payments on bonds issued to help pay for capital projects and $5.7 million for capital improvements, such as replacement and renovation of water and sewer lines.
A 9.75 percent increase in monthly water and sewer charges is proposed. For a typical residential customer using 5,000 gallons per month, the bill would increase $6.68, from $68.24 to $74.92. The budget does not include pay increases for OWASA employees.
