MARINA DEL REY
Water rate increased to upgrade aged system
The Board of Supervisors on Tuesday approved a 35 percent increase over three years in
water rates for Marina del Rey to upgrade the county's aging water system.
The supervisors voted 3-0 to increase the rates to $2.55 from $1.89 per 100 cubic feet
of water. The county estimates lessees in the county-owned community will pay an average
of $141 a year per apartment unit.

The fees were last increased in 1993. "I don't think
any cost will be passed on" to renters, said John Rizzo, president of the Marina
Tenants Association.
Dennis Morefield, a spokesman for the Department of Public Works, said the increase
will raise between $350,000 and $400,000 in additional revenue to rebuild the water
system.
It will be effective in 30 days.
