City will host water and sewer webinar
CITY OF SEAL BEACH
The City of Seal Beach will host a webinar today, Nov. 30, for residents to learn about their water and wastewater (sewer) services, along with the status of rates studies the City began earlier this year.
The webinar will be held virtually from 6-7:30 p.m. People can join by going online to https://us02web. zoom.us/j/85685873710 or by calling in at 669-444-9171 or 669-900-9128 and using the webinar ID 856 8587 3710. In mid-December, the Seal Beach City Council will consider financial plans for both utilities and potential rate scenarios.
Webinar attendees will hear an overview of the City’s water and sewer operations, revenue and infrastructure needs, and how the City is reinvesting revenues received from customer rates. The community is highly encouraged to attend the Zoom webinar to learn more and provide input into the rate study.
Financial consultants and City staff have been working diligently on a series of steps involving data evaluation and technical analyses to derive customer rates while considering customer impacts of any rate modifications.
The cost of providing these essential services has increased due to inflation and rising costs of operations, maintenance, and environmental and regulatory compliance.
