This notice is to inform you that a public hearing will be held on June 6, 2023, at6:00 p.m. in the City of Burbank Council Chambers, 275 E. Olive Ave., Burbank, California 91502, at which the Burbank City Council will consider proposed increases for certain fees and charges for fiscal year 2023-2024 and 2024-2025. If approved, certain fees and charges for water, sewer, and refuse serviceswill be increased effective July 1, 2023, and July 1, 2024. Any interested person may appear and be heard on any matter relating to the proposed increases to water, sewer, and refuse fees and charges. Any property owner or property tenant that is directly responsible for payment of water, sewer, and refuse fees and charges may submit a written protest against the proposed rate increases. Written protests will be considered if submitted by the close of the public hearing onJune 6, 2023, to the City Clerk located at Burbank City Hall, 275 E. Olive Ave., Burbank, California 91502. The City Council cannot adopt the proposed rate increases if a majority protest exists.
The increases for water services are necessary to recover the increased costs of purchased water, operations and maintenance, conservation, and capital improvement programs. The proposed increases in sewer charges are due to increased charges from the City of Los Angeles for sewage treatment services, capital improvement projects, labor, chemical, and electrical costs to operate the Burbank Water Reclamation Plant (BWRP). The refuse collection fee increases are needed to meet rising operational costs, particularly those associated with new state mandates, and to continue providing comprehensive refuse services that include household trash disposal, green waste composting, recyclable collection and processing, and bulky item pick-ups. If approved, all billing periods beginning after July 1, 2023, will receive the new rates. For the typical customer, the proposed fees and charges reflect monthly increases of approximately $6.44 for water services (1” meter billed for 12 HCF or 8,976 gallons), $1.05 for single- family residential sewer services, and $2.09 for refuse services (64 gallon container).
For more information call (818) 238-3700. The fees and charges adopted by the Burbank City Council may be lower but will not exceed the proposed fees and charges listed on the inside of this document.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PUBLIC HEARING
DEAR BURBANK WATER AND POWER CUSTOMER,
To ensure the continued delivery of high-quality electric and water services to the Burbank community; beginning July 1, 2023, BWP is proposing an electric system average rate increase of 8.5% and a water system average rate increase of 9%. Next year, on July 1, 2024, the proposed rate increases are 8% for electricity and 9% for water.
As utility costs throughout the industry continue to rise, BWP is committed to managing those costs while upholding our commitment to providing industry leading reliability and delivering a sustainable future. Unprecedented cost increases in natural gas, potable water, equipment, and renewable energy have had an immense impact on our financial position.
As outlined in a recent article in myBurbank, dated March 14, 2023, – “BWP customers ask, why are water and electric rates increasing?”, BWP must address economic factors that have impacted the cost for delivering utility services to our customers. These factors are outside BWP’s control and we strive to minimize their effect on the community with equitable rate increases, efficiency programs, bill management and financial assistance for qualified individuals. As a not-for-profit utility our mandate dictates a thoughtful approach to implementing reasonable rate increases - as a result, individual customer impacts will vary based on service type and usage.

For more information, visit BurbankWaterAndPower.com/proposed-rates We do not take rate increases lightly and fully understand the impact these rate increases may have on the community. BWP customers will be pleased to know that despite the increase, our rates will remain below those paid by neighboring municipalities, including the City of Los Angeles. We are able to do this through prudent spending, exceptional efficiency, and planning in advance.

Residential Bill Impacts
For example, BWP’s coveted AAA Bond rating (the highest rating that a credit rating agency can give) has enabled BWP to secure low-cost financing, benefiting our customers by keeping our interest burden below comparable utilities - see article published in myBurbank, dated February 15, 2023 – “Burbank City Council Approves $120M Bond for BWP Infrastructure, Sustainability, and Disaster Resilience.”
In the coming weeks we will share more details with our customers about the rate increase, and its impact on bills. We will also share additional information to show how all BWP customers can significantly lessen the impact of these changes through simple conservation steps, accessing bill management and financial assistance programs.
At BWP we operate to benefit Burbank’s residents and businesses, and we’re here for you! Letter continued inside.
