OCEANSIDE, Calif. (KGTV) — Water rates in Oceanside are going up following a unanimous vote at Wednesday night's city council meeting.
The rate increases will take effect in January in 2024 and 2025.
The first increase, which is coming up in about a month and a half, will be 4%. The second hike will happen in 2025 and will be 2.5%.
The Oceanside City Council says the increases are driven by a variety of factors, including higher costs for labor, utilities and chemicals, as well as materials and supplies.
