Our print newsletter officially came out on Friday. Look for your copy of our newsletter inside the Pleasanton Weekly or in news racks around town.

Valley Community Church held a celebratory ribbon cutting and official grand opening for their Families Building, which was followed by their worship service and lunch. It was a wonderful day with Pastor Heath sharing reflections from his sabbatical and their vision for the coming year.

Ribbon cuttings increase the visibility of a grand opening, new location, ground breaking or special anniversary. The chamber brings the giant scissors and the red ribbon, invites our ambassadors and publicizes the event in various publications. To schedule a ribbon cutting, email Dawn. Take a look at our recent ribbon cutting ceremonies here.

You're invited to join the Pleasanton Chamber and our Ambassador Committee at the following ribbon cutting ceremonies.

This information is designed to keep you informed about many important Pleasanton water supply and quality issues. We encourage you to read the articles below and click the various links to obtain more information. Your questions and feedback are welcome - you can email us a pwd@cityofpleasantonca.gov or call (925) 931-5500.

Over the past few years, the City of Pleasanton contracted with an outside firm to study our current water rates and how much funding would be needed to meet the community’s water supply and quality needs. Since rates have not gone up since 2011, a larger increase is needed now.

We recognize increased costs affect your bottomline. The City will ensure that all new revenue will be closely monitored to fund the vital improvements and operations needed to ensure safe and reliable water for decades to come.

Funding is required to pay for capital improvement projects, replenish reserve funds, prepare for future State and Federal water quality regulations, and cover the cost of operations and maintenance. 

The proposed first-year increase impacts customers differently based on the customer's bi-monthly water consumption. The following figure (from July 18, 2023, City Council agenda report - page 10) shows the impact of the proposed water rate increases on commercial customers. Click the button below to view a comparison of current rates vs. proposed rates.

September 19, 2023 at 7 p.m.

A public hearing about the proposed water rate increase will take place during the September 19, 2023 City Council meeting, starting at 7 p.m. and located in the Remillard Room at 3333 Busch Rd., Pleasanton, 94566.

Official protests must be in writing and delivered to the Pleasanton City Clerk's Office. Find more about this process on the Public Hearing Notice.

The recently-mailed notice with background information about the proposed water rate increase was highly technical with very specific content requirements and contained a couple of formatting errors. Click the button below for an FAQ to drill into the information included in the Public Hearing Notice. We invite you to check it out.

On the second Wednesday of the odd-numbered months at 12:00 p.m., the Chamber brings stakeholders together to focus community resources, time and talent to achieve greater understanding of issues, obstacles and opportunities related to Pleasanton 2025: A Community Vision.

The next Pleasanton 2025 Forum Meeting is happening on Wednesday, September 13, 2023 at 12:00 p.m. Guest speakers will be Janeen Rubino-Brumm and Jamie Renton discussing workforce development for disabled youth and adult students.

Meetings are held in a hybrid format and open to everyone in the community, in-person at the chamber at 777 Peters Avenue, Pleasanton or virtually via Zoom. Register in advance for the Zoom link here.
