Bill overview
This bill aimed to update California’s regulations for water corporations by requiring the Public Utilities Commission to ensure that inaccurate estimates of water demand and sales don’t lead to overcollections or undercollections of revenue. Specifically, it sought to establish a mechanism similar to one already in place for electricity, decoupling revenue from sales to incentivize water conservation. The bill also addressed rate structures and surcharge implementation to align with these goals.
