UNDERGROUND DISTRICT UNDERWAY

The City Council adopted by a vote of 5-0 resolutions declaring its intent to form an Underground Utility Assessment District to include Cerritos and Dunning drives, Rimrock, Upper Rimrock and Terrace Way and approving the preliminary engineer’s report.

Property owners in the district will be mailed ballots.

WHAT IT MEANS
