The proposed rate adjustment is being considered in accordance with the City’s exclusive franchise agreement with Burrtec Waste Industries, Inc., which allows for annual rate adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for All Urban Consumers in the Riverside–San Bernardino–Ontario area, as published by the U.S. Department of Labor, not to exceed five percent (5%) per year.
