§ 75592 Water Use Charge Rates

• •Farmers pay a set price for every acre-foot of water they use for farming.
• •Everyone else pays a different set price for every acre-foot of water they use.
• •Places like parks, golf courses, and schools pay a special price if they use water for irrigation.

A farmer uses water to grow crops, and a golf course uses water to keep the grass green.

The farmer pays one price for the water used on the crops. The golf course pays a different price for the water used on the grass, because it's not for farming but still for irrigation.
