Water Year 2023 Basin Assessments
On December 15, 2023, the Watermaster approved a Basin Assessment for Water Year 2023-24 (WY2023). Unlike FCGMA fees, Basin Assessments are based on a Water Right Holder’s Annual Allocation rather than the amount of groundwater extracted during a reporting period. The amount of the WY2023 Basin Assessment is $64/AF of Allocation and will be invoiced in two equal installments ($32/AF). The first installment will be invoiced the week of March 4 and is due by April 5, 2024 (Due Date). The Second installment will be invoiced the week of June 3 and is due by July 1, 2024 (Due Date). Installment payments not received within a month of their respective Due Date are considered delinquent and shall bear interest at the current real property tax delinquency rate for Ventura County per the Judgment.
