PALMDALE, CA, January 16, 2014 –The Board of Directors of the Palmdale Water District will discuss and consider adoption of its proposed 2014 Budget at their regular Board meeting on Wednesday, January 22, 2014 at 7:00 PM. The budget includes a 3% rate increase, which is a reduction from the previously approved increase of 8%. The increase represents an average $1.72 per month for a single family resident.
