Why Modifie d Option 1?

  • 1. Minimum Investments in Electric/Water Infrastructure
  • a. Staff recommends Utility 2.0 Modified Option 1 as the lowest‐cost

10‐year infrastructure plan

  • b. Any less infrastructure investments will have a negative impact on

system reliability, resulting in significant costs to future ratepayers

  • 2. Minimum Financial Health of Utilities
  • a. Staff recommends Utility 2.0 Modified Option 1 to maintain reserves

at lowest levels allowed under Council‐approved policies

  • b. Any lower reserves will have a negative impact on bond ratings,

resulting in significant costs to future ratepayers

Rive rside Public Utilitie s.c om

46

Risks with Modifie d Option 1 Ra te Pla n

  • 1. Revised rate plan reduces resiliency and increases risk
  • 2. Replacement rates for poles and pipes declines and is not

sustainable

  • a. No anticipated immediate impacts
  • b. Long term replacement rate must be changed to meet expected life
  • f these assets
  • 3. More repairs moved to reactive and emergency basis –

longer service interruptions

  • 4. Infrastructure that leaves our community most vulnerable,

such as transmission lines and substations, are replaced at sustainable rate REVISED
