Water Supply and Rates
January 16, 2026
2026 WATER SUPPLY INFORMATION
The Bureau of Reclamation will not make an official water supply declaration until later in February. Precipitation in Northern California has been favorable for Central Valley Project (CVP) operations so far this year. However, the extended forecast is fairly dry. The District’s Board of Directors has adopted a budget and water rate schedule based on a non-critical water supply under the Exchange Contract this year. The District will provide updates immediately if anything changes particularly regarding operations in the Delta.
N-DISTRICT WATER SALES
January through December
- A a. A 3-tiered rate schedule will apply to water used from January 1 through December 31:
Tier 1 – 0 – 3.20 acre-feet/gross acre – $18.00 /acre-foot
Tier 2 – 3.21 – 3.70 acre-feet/gross acre – $65.00 /acre-foot
Tier 3 – Greater than 3.70 acre-feet/gross acre – $115.00 /acre-foot - b. The per-acre quantities above represent how much water will be available, if needed, but the amounts are not guaranteed. The actual amount of water available is subject to the Bureau’s ability to deliver water to us, and limitations in the Exchange Contract.
DEVELOPED WATER – CLASS II LANDS
Developed water for Class II lands will also be subject to tiered pricing from January 1 through December 31. The first 3.2 a.f. per net acre will be charged $65.00 per a.f. on an “if and when available” basis. All usage in excess of 3.2 a.f. per net acre during this period will be billed at $115.00 per a.f.
Tiered water pricing cannot be shared between In-District and Class II.
MUNICIPAL AND INDUSTRIAL WATER
Municipal and Industrial (M&I) water will be available to those municipalities contracting with CCID, at $75.00 per a.f.
