PROTESTS AND LEGAL OBJECTIONS
Written protests and legal objections should be mailed to:
Yorba Linda Water District PO Box 309 Yorba Linda CA 92885-0309 Attention: Board Secretary
Or delivered in person at YLWD headquarters at:
1717 E Miraloma Ave Placentia CA 92870
Any protest or legal objection provided by telephone, email, social media, or other electronic means will not be accepted as a valid written protest or objection.
A valid protest and/or legal objection must include (a) your name, (b) the address or assessor’s parcel number at which you receive service from YLWD, (c) a statement of protest and/or a statement that your letter constitutes a legal objection, (d) the rate and/or charge that you protest and/or object, and (e) your original signature. The written basis providing the evidentiary justification for the proposed rate increases can be found at www.ylwd.com/ratestudy.
PROTESTS
Any customer or property owner may (i) mail a written protest that is delivered to the District by April 9, 2026, (ii) deliver a written protest in person to the Board Secretary
prior to the conclusion of the April 9th public hearing, and/or (iii) deliver a written protest in person to the Board Secretary and provide an oral protest during public comments of the public hearing prior to the conclusion of the April 9th public hearing.
LEGAL OBJECTIONS
To be considered sufficient, a written legal objection must include a description of the nature of the legal objection with sufficient specificity to allow YLWD to respond in writing and determine whether alterations to the proposed rates are needed. By way of example, an objection stating that the proposed rates are too high, or that they violate
Proposition 218, without explaining the noncompliance with existing law, does not satisfy the exhaustion of remedies requirement defined in Government Code Section 53759.1.
Written legal objections must be received by March 23, 2026. Pursuant to Government Code Section 53759.1, failure to submit a sufficient legal objection by March 23 will bar your right to challenge the proposed rates through a legal action or proceeding. Pursuant to Government Code Section 53759, there is a 120-day statute of limitations for any legal action or proceeding challenging any new, increased, or extended water and sewer fee, rate, or charge.
