FANTASTIC BREAKING NEWS:

Golden State Water Lost Again!


First, Ojai won in lower court when Golden State Water sued to prevent Casitas Water from taking over the system.

Second, GSW appealed that decision in appellate court and lost.


Today, the State Supreme Court refused to hear GSW’s final appeal. Ojai and Claremont are now free to proceed against GSW. This is a huge blow to Golden State Water, and their high priced legal team. This is a very important result.


Now if the majority of GSW customers in our Cowan Heights System truly want GSW gone, it can be done!

Still outraged?  Take action!  Here are Golden State Water phone numbers to call or email DRA which may make a difference. If you don't understand every charge on your bi-monthly bill, now is the time to inquire. Ask them to Explain the 3 -Tier Rate System, ask What are WRAM/Surcharges? , Ask What is CARW? What is the CPUC fee for? Ask why OUR rates are 2-3X higher than water rates in Irvine, Tustin, & Orange? Tell them their rates are outrageous and we deserve to pay a fair, reasonable, and competitive rate for water - a basic necessity of life. If you don't complain, future rate hikes are assured. So please, use your voice!
