RESOLUTION OF THE CiTY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA ADDRESSING THE INFRASTRUCTURE ACCESS CHARGE
PROPOSED BY THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY WATER AUTHORITY
WHEREAS, the San Diego County Water Authority is proposing to impose an
Infrastructure Access Charge on all customers of county water agencies, to be effective
January 1, 1999; and
WHEREAS, the purpose of the charge is to pay for a portion of the Water Authority's
Emergency Storage Project, and to collect revenues for its Capital Improvement Plan; and
WHEREAS, the proposed charge will have the effect of raising the customer's water
bill by $1.00 initially, and by $2.00 by the year 2003; and
WHEREAS, in the opinion of the Sweetwater Authority, the proposed charge is
inequitable to Sweetwater Authority customers in Chula Vista because they have already paid
for emergency storage at Sweetwater and Loveland Reservoirs when the Sweetwater
Authority acquired its water system in 1977.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does
hereby support the establishment of an infrastructure access charge for capital improvement
projects and emergency storage facilities and urges further dialog between the water agencies
and the County Water Authority to evaluate and apply, as appropriate, a credit system for
those agencies that provide emergency storage, subject to a guarantee that such storage will
always be available.
