Pass-Through Charges

These other government agencies are the Inland Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA) and the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD). The various wholesale water and sewer services that CVWD must purchase from the IEUA and MWD are described below and include the related pass-through rates that are charged to customers.
