Plan budget, 2027–2030
The Water Efficiency Plan’s 2027–2030 budget envelope is $354M–$420M total. The largest single line is the Accelerated Water Loss Program ($179M) — pipe replacement, leak detection, copper-lead service replacement, and similar infrastructure work. Advanced metering is $161M, the second-largest line. Programs and policies (the “rules” portion: outdoor schedule, rate design, education, business programs) total $12.5M of operating budget — about 3.5% of the plan.
