The Eastern Municipal Water District announced earlier this week that water bills will increase for most customers.

If the average monthly water bill for Menifee residents was $34.46, it will now be $36.04 beginning January 1, 2005, according to a chart published by the EMWD.

The price hike is due to an increase in price for imported water from the Metropolitan Water District, as well as a 3.3 percent adjustment based on last year’s Consumer Price Index (CPI).
