Niland wastewater rate increase
Imperial County, California
Summary
The colonia's $30-a-month sewer rate hasn't kept up with over $200,000 in annual costs. The board chose gradual $10 yearly increases to $80 over five years, though even that leaves a deficit the general fund will have to cover.

Impact analysis
Residents would see their sewer rate climb from $30 to $80 a month over five years, and the county's general fund will still subsidize the shortfall.
Cady Poe residents get a gradual, predictable increase instead of a sudden jump to the $350 break-even rate.
The 44 connected households face steadily rising bills, and county general fund dollars will cover the ongoing deficit.
