Proposed Water & Wastewater Budget

2018 Proposed Water & Wastewater Budget

• Rate Structure Review
• Options for consideration
• Proposed 2018 Rates
• Next Steps

2018 Proposed Water & Wastewater Budget

Option 1 – Status Quo

Water Usage Charge/m3 (variable) Delivery Charge/qtr (fixed) * ≤ 105 m3 Res > 105 m3 Res or non-res ≤400 m3 Non-res > 400 m3 $2.28 $3.74 $60 $183

Historic Practice

• Residential accounts – lower delivery charge , two tier usage charge
• Commercial accounts (high volume) – higher delivery charge, single tier usage charge

* For each of Water and Wastewater

Option 2

Water Usage Charge/m3 (variable) Delivery Charge/qtr (fixed) * ≤ 105 m3 > 105 m3 Res or non-res ≤ 400 m3 Non-res > 400 m3 $2.28 $2.26 $3.74 $3.10 $60 $183 $60

* For each of Water and Wastewater

Implications:

• Revenue neutral
• Alignment of consumption and related costs for all users
• All users will see a 2 cent decrease in the consumption charge < 105 m3
• Residential users >105 m3 will see a modest decrease
• High volume Non Residential users (± 40 accounts) will see an increase
• Gas stations, big box & restaurant chains, large scale manufacturing are the majority
• f the offsetting increase (± 12 accounts)

Option 3 – Previously Recommended

Water Usage Charge/m3 (variable) Delivery Charge/qtr (fixed) * ≤ 105 m3 > 105 m3 ≤ 400 m3 > 400 m3 $2.28 $3.74 $3.00 $60 $183 $60

Implications:

• Revenue neutral
• Alignment of consumption and related costs for all users
• Residential users over 105 m3 will see a modest decrease
• High volume Non Residential users (± 40 accounts) will see an increase
• Gas stations, big box & restaurant chains, large scale manufacturing are the majority
• f the offsetting increase (± 12 accounts)

* For each of Water and Wastewater

Option 4

Water Usage Charge/m3 (variable) Delivery Charge/qtr (fixed) * ≤ 105 m3 Res > 105 m3 Non - Res> 105 m3 (new) ≤ 400 m3 > 400 m3 $2.28 $3.74 $3.00 $60 $183 $60

Implications:

• Alignment of fixed charges
• No increase in Residential water usage rate
• High volume Non Residential users (± 40 accounts) will see an increase
• Gas stations, big box & restaurant chains, large scale manufacturing are the majority
• f the offsetting increase (± 12 accounts)
• Increased revenue estimated at $50k

Current Proposed Water

• Delivery (fixed)

$60 / quarter $65 / quarter

• Usage (variable)

$2.28 m3 $2.28 m3 Wastewater

• Delivery (fixed)

$60 / quarter $65 / quarter

• Usage (variable)

$2.09 m3 $2.19 m3

Annual impact to the average household is $64 as compared to $75 in 2017
