As a CCUA customer, you have our commitment that you will continue to have one of the lowest utility bills for water, sewer, and reuse services. One of the ways we accomplish this is investing in innovation and obtaining funding from various regulatory agencies. Even with this year’s proposed rate increases, CCUA will still have one of the lowest utility rates compared to neighboring communities.
