Pasadena Water and Power Issues Notice of Public Hearing
for Water Rate Structure and Adjustments
Public Hearing Scheduled for Monday, June 3
PASADENA, Calif.—Pasadena City Council will hold a public hearing on Monday, June 3, 2024, at 5:30 p.m. to consider the adoption of adjustments to the existing water rates and rate structure. The public is encouraged to participate. Pasadena Water and Power (PWP) mailed a public hearing notice to water customers. The notice includes a recommended rate structure redesign and adjustment information as well as details regarding the public hearing.
PWP is committed to providing reliable and high-quality water to the community and is proposing the water rate adjustments to help cover rising operating costs and provide funding for critical improvements to water infrastructure.
Individual customer bill impacts will vary based on customer type, water meter size, and amount of water used. To help customers estimate potential impacts the proposed adjustments may have on their water bill, PWP developed an online “bill estimator,” which is a simplified version of all billing inputs (actual bills may vary). The intent is to provide customers with a general sense of how their household budgets might be impacted based on individual projections of their water use. The bill estimator also shows the changes proposed to be effective for sewer and refuse services from the City of Pasadena Public Works Department.
Community meetings regarding the PWP water rate adjustments will be held:
Wednesday, May 1 at 6:30 p.m.
Victory Park Recreation Center, 2572 Paloma Street
Thursday, May 23 at 2 p.m.
Robinson Park Recreation Center, 1081 N. Fair Oaks Avenue
Public Hearing:
Monday, June 3 at 5:30 p.m.
City Council Chambers, 100 North Garfield Avenue, Room S249
For more information on water rate adjustments and the upcoming public hearing, or to use PWP’s new bill estimator tool, please visit the PWPweb.com/WaterRateDesign.

Pasadena Water & Power (PWP) Unveils Online “Bill Estimator”
Ahead of Proposed Water Rates Adjustments
PWP is committed to providing reliable and high-quality water to the community and is proposing water rate adjustments to continue excellent service.

The Pasadena City Council is expected to hold a public hearing (per Council approval) on Monday, June 3, 2024, at 5:30 p.m. to consider the adoption of adjustments to the existing water rates and rate structure. Prior to the public hearing, PWP will host a series of community meetings this spring.
To help customers estimate potential impacts the proposed adjustments may have on their water bill, PWP developed an online “bill estimator,” which is a simplified version of all billing inputs (actual bills may vary).

CITY OF PASADENA ANNOUNCES 710 RECONNECTING COMMUNITIES’ ORAL HISTORY PROJECT AND SURVEY
An Initiative Capturing Stories Shaped by The State Route 710 (SR 710) Freeway Construction
PASADENA, Calif.— The City of Pasadena has begun the oral history component of the Historic Project for the City’s 710 Stub Master Plan. The oral history portion, one of three parts, aims to capture and acknowledge the diverse stories of community members displaced by the SR 710 Freeway (710) construction project.
In order for Caltrans to create the path for the planned 710 in the 1960s and the 1970s, thousands of residents, local businesses, and community institutions were displaced through the eminent domain process.
Former residents and family members of those personally impacted by the 710 construction are invited to share their experience via an online oral history survey, which includes a Community Input Tool. The tool and survey are designed to capture data, stories, and lived experiences in an engaging manner. These stories and perspectives are important to compiling a comprehensive narrative of experiences from residents who were impacted by the construction of the 710. The City is committed to the inclusivity of its diverse community and understands that every story will contribute to the rich tapestry of the Historic Project’s oral history.
The online survey will open for submissions on Monday, April 29, and will close on Sunday, June 30, 2024. The survey is available in a variety of languages including English, Japanese, and Spanish. It will cover a wide range of topics including, but not limited to:
· Family and personal experiences with the SR 710 Freeway Construction
· Historical significance of the freeway construction on the Pasadena community
· Environmental, social, and economic impacts of the construction project
The information collected in the survey will be analyzed and used to select candidates for preliminary interviews conducted by an experienced historian. Please visit Bit.ly/OralHistoryInput to get started.
Be the storyteller of your experience or of your family’s and contribute to this important collective effort. Alternatively, you may contact our team by phone from Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., at (626) 405-4848 to request a printed copy of the survey or to speak with the City's consultant working on this project. A voicemail recording will be available 24/7 if the public reaches us outside the hours mentioned above.

The Brenner Park Playground Improvement Project provides for the planning and design of new playground play structures, and the installation of a new rubberized play surface for increased safety and ADA compliance.
The existing playground equipment at Brenner Park was installed in 2009. The equipment has since become obsolete and has less play value than the new equipment installed at other parks. The replacement of the play equipment will provide a play environment of consistent quality with those recently installed at McDonald Park, Desiderio Park, and the new Playhouse Village Park. In addition, the new rubberized play surface will increase and enhance ADA accessibility and compliance.

El Proyecto de mejora del patio de juegos de Brenner Park prevé la planificación y el diseño de nuevas estructuras de juego en el parque infantil y la instalación de una nueva superficie de juego de caucho para mayor seguridad y cumplimiento de la ADA.
El equipo de juegos existente en Brenner Park se instaló en 2009. Desde entonces, el equipo se ha vuelto obsoleto y tiene menos valor de juego que el nuevo equipo instalado en otros parques. El reemplazo del equipo de juego proporcionará un ambiente de juego de calidad consistente con los instalados recientemente en McDonald Park, Desiderio Park y el nuevo Playhouse Village Park. Además, la nueva superficie de juego de goma aumentará y mejorará la accesibilidad y el cumplimiento de la ADA.
