California Water Service (Cal Water), a subsidiary of California Water Service Group, has received approval from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to implement interim rate adjustments across nearly all of its service areas. Effective January 1, 2026, Cal Water will temporarily increase rates by 3% in most districts while the CPUC continues its review of the utility's 2024 General Rate Case and Infrastructure Improvement Plan. The interim rate adjustments are intended to support continued investment in infrastructure and help avoid larger retroactive surcharges for customers once a final decision is made.
