San Gabriel

Overview May 29, 2020

Golden State Water is proud to be San Gabriel Valley’s water provider since 1929, serving high-quality, reliable water to approximately 12,300 customers in portions of Arcadia, El Monte, Irwindale, Monrovia, Monterey Park, Rosemead, San Gabriel and Temple City.

Two water systems serve the area. Water delivered to customers in the South Arcadia System is groundwater pumped from the Main San Gabriel Basin. The basin underlies the San Gabriel Valley from Alhambra to San Dimas. Water delivered to customers in the South San Gabriel System is also pumped from the Main San Gabriel Basin and the water system has the ability to supplement supplies with imported water from the Colorado River Aqueduct and the State Water Project (imported and distributed by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California).

Conservation

Following several months of storms bringing much-needed snow and rain to California, conditions have dramatically changed for many parts of the State. In response, Governor Newsom has rolled back some drought emergency provisions that are no longer needed while maintaining other measures that support regions and communities still facing water supply challenges.

Effective Sunday, May 14, 2023, Golden State Water Company modified outdoor watering restrictions to allow for watering up to three days per week. Given that water conditions will continue to evolve, customers are encouraged to use water wisely and only use what is needed.

Golden State Water is recommending customers limit outdoor irrigation between the hours of 7 PM and 8 AM per the following schedule:

Addresses Ending In:	Watering Days:
Even Numbers (0, 2, 4, 6, 8)	Sunday, Wednesday, Friday
Odd Numbers (1, 3, 5, 7, 9)	Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday

Rates

As a regulated utility, Golden State Water’s rates are determined by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) through a General Rate Case (GRC) to ensure customers receive a fair rate for reliable, quality water service. New rates allow for investments to avoid the costly and sometimes dangerous effects of deferring maintenance or delaying the replacement of aging infrastructure.

2023 GRC (2025 Rates)

As required by the CPUC every three years, in August of 2023, Golden State Water Company filed its 2023 General Rate Case (GRC) with the California Public Utilities Commission. This rate plan proposes local infrastructure investments and water rates for the years 2025, 2026 and 2027. Any adjustments to current rates will not go into effect until January 2025, at the earliest. Click here to learn more. Learn more about the rate-making process and localized information on new rates and investments in the 2025-27 Proposed Investments/Rates Fact Sheet.

The average residential customer with a 5/8 X 3/4” meter using 8,228 gallons (1,100 cubic feet or 11 Ccf) per month will see their 2023 monthly bill increase from $69.49 to $86.79 in 2025, at the earliest (excluding any applicable surcharges).
The average commercial customer with a 5/8 X 3/4” meter using 51,612 gallons (6,900 cubic feet or 69 Ccf) per month will see their 2023 monthly bill increase from $348.93 to $440.15 in 2025, at the earliest (excluding any applicable surcharges).

Capital Projects

GRC 2020 General Case (2022-24)

The General Rate Case approved June 29, 2023 invests over $20 million in the San Gabriel Customer Service Area. The new rates are being invested in your service area’s new water tanks, a new well and backup power equipment.

GRC 2023 General Case (2025-27)

The rates proposed for 2025-2027 will provide customers with long-term value by investing over $13.1 million in proactive capital investments and maintenance of local water infrastructure essential to the delivery and treatment of reliable, quality water. Investments in the San Gabriel Service Area include, but are not limited to, upgrading plant and water treatment facilities, automated meter reading technology, new systemwide technology to efficiently maintain reliable operation of the water system and emergency generators that can support the distribution and treatment of water during natural disasters or power failure, and the replacement of aging water mains, meters, pumps, and safety equipment.
