3 issues in water utilities with medium priority
Canal Replacement Program
Contra Costa Water District is planning a multi-billion-dollar, multi-decade replacement of 20 miles of open canal with buried pipeline, with construction possibly starting in 2032.
MCE Electricity Rates and Customer Programs
MCE reported its generation rates are lower than PG&E's but total bills run higher due to PG&E exit fees. Fuller pushed back hard, saying his bill jumped from $600 to $1,000.
Regional Stormwater Compliance Program (RAC JPA)
Oakley joined a countywide joint powers authority that lets developers and public agencies buy stormwater treatment credits from off-site green infrastructure instead of building their own. It's voluntary and no new taxes hit existing homeowners, but Fuller worried it enables development on awkward leftover parcels.
