SECTION B: 
WATER PENALTIES SET TO INCREASE

 This year’s El Niño rains have had a limited impact on our 
part of the state. Water conservation remains as critical as ever 
as California enters into its fifth year of drought. Sierra Madre 
City Council approved a measure in May that would increase 
the penalty rate assessed on excess water use.

 The City of Sierra Madre would like to thank its water-wise 
customers for doing their part to make every drop count. The 
latest water billing numbers for May show 75% of Sierra Madre 
customers met, or outperformed, their water conservation 
targets. The remaining 25% of customers are of increasing 
concern for the City, as many of the customers who exceeded 
their water use target in the month have a repeat history of 
doing so. 

The City of Sierra Madre will introduce a new water penalty 
rate beginning on July 1, 2016. The rate will apply to each billing 
unit used in excess of a customer’s conservation target. The 
current penalty rate is $5.04/unit. The new rate will increase to 
$10.72, or two times the Tier 4 rate.
