Valley Water provides water to the San Jose Water Company, the San Jose Municipal Water System and the Great Oaks Water Company, who then sell the water to residents. It also provides flood protection, manages three water filtration plants and several dams in the county.
According to a board presentation, the vote will raise rates by up to 9.1%, an approximate $4.30 to $5.10 increase per month to customers, which would last 10 years. Plans were originally set for last year but were put on hold due to the pandemic. Now, with an impending drought, Valley Water said it needs to act more urgently.

SANTA CLARA COUNTY, Calif. - Valley Water leaders are moving forward with developing a new dam at Pacheco Pass in south Santa Clara County, despite recently learning that the price tag had doubled since 2019.
"It seems to me that the directors of the water district need to take every extreme measure we can find to continue this project, moving it forward and working with environmental groups as we always do," said Santa Clara Valley Water District Director John Varela. "(We need to be) finding the solution, finding the resources to bring this to fruition and make it happen."
