I know some people at SJWC. We may have sent them a bill or three for work. San Jose Water is regulated by the California Public Utilities Commission, which does review their rate structures. Reasons that the rates are high could be:

Fixed costs spread over smaller water use due to conservation measures.

Pass through of Valley Water's wholesale rates. Gotta pay for Anderson Dam Seismic Retrofit and jacketree's ridiculous billing rates!

Aging system and massive investments in upgrading the infrastructure. Thank them later when nothing blows, so there is no massive sinkhole that swallows one of your nice cars.

Maybe the investors are greedy and the CPUC caved?

It's California. Everything costs more. Labor, healthcare, union stuff, utility mandates. Everything.
