SUBJECT: Proposed Water Rate Change
Attached for your review is a proposed ordinance establishing a revised rate schedule for water
and wastewater service in the City of Ocoee. As mandated by the St. John's River Water
Management District, we prepared this proposed rate schedule to encourage conservation of
potable water resources. The narrative in the attached study report prepared by Professional
Engineering Consultants, Inc. explains the method used to arrive at the various rate components.
This is presented at the November 18, 1997 City Commission meeting for fust reading with an
anticipated second reading and adoption at the December 2, 1997 meeting.
Mr. Ken Hooper and I will both be present at the December 2"d meeting to answer any questions
you may have regarding this proposed rate restructuring.

Re: SJRWMD Discussion on Rates
Dear Jim:
AGENDA 12-16-97
Item VI A
E-134
1-1.0
I spoke with Sarah Wittaker from the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD)
on Thursday, December 11, 1997 regarding water rate requirements included in the Consumptive
Use permitting for cities in this area. The following is a list of local cities of which she has direct
knowledge that SJRWMD has either included alternate rate requirements in the Consumptive Use
Permit (CUP) or are currently under review and are required to provide a current rate structure
for SJRWMD review.
Clermont Lake Mary Mount Dora Sanford
Edgewater Minneola Oviedo
She mentioned that the City of Oviedo has implemented an increasing rate structure and that
SJRWMD and the City have noted its success in reducing potable water consumption in the area.
She has contacted SJRWMD headquarters to request a formal list of those cities that have this
rate structure clause in the specific conditions of the CUP, however she is not certain that
SJRWMD monitors individual permits in this manner. We will provide the City with this list if
it becomes available.
If you have any questions please contact me at your convenience.
Very truly yours,

Dear Customer:
Through recent permitting, local agencies have brought it to the City's attention that the City of
Ocoee's potable water consumption exceeds the goals and averages of other communities in Central
Florida. This has caused concern with the agencies and the City. Local agencies expect each person to
use between 120 and 150 gallons per day. However, the average potable water consumption in the
City of Ocoee is 180 gallons per day per person. The City has decided to take a proactive role in
reducing the City's water consumption.
In light of this, the City would like to inform you of several ways that your family and household can
save water in your day-to-day activities. Reducing our City's consumption of water may be easier
than you think, and individual participation will make a difference. The advantage to you is a lower
water bill!
• Stuff it. In the wastebasket, that is. Toss tissues, insects, or anything else you want to get rid
of in the trash, not in the toilet. (Each time you flush, that 5-7 gallons goes down the drain.)
• Limit your dribbling. Check for leaks or drips in faucets and toilets. Don't leave the water
running while you brush your teeth or wash the dishes. When washing the car, watering your
lawn, or even bathing your dog, use a hose with a nozzle that automatically shuts off.
• Make a clean sweep. Use a broom, not a hose, to clean you drive way or sidewalk.
• Be a team player. When helping with chores around the house, remember to water lawns and
gardens during cool times of the day - early morning or evening. When doing dishes or
washing clothes, use only full loads in automatic machines. Use one dishpan for washing and
one for rinsing when doing dishes by hand.
• Blow the whistle... on water wasters. Remind your friends and family to conserve.
• Take water breaks, but don't let the tap water run to get cool instead, keep a bottle of
drinking water in the refrigerator.
• Don't linger in the locker room. Take shorter showers or fill your bathtub only partly full.
• Play by the rules. Abide by any watering rules or restrictions that may be in effect in your
community.
The City will be providing your household with a Home Water Use Survey in an upcoming billing so
that you may approximate your household's potable water usage. The City of Ocoee takes pride in its
community and ability to supply a continuing necessary resource, clean potable water. We appreciate
your concern and hope you will participate with the rest of the City in conserving water.
Sincerely,
THE CITY OF OCOEE
Home Water Use Survey
This survey will tell you about how much water your family uses daily. If you have water -saving appliances or
toilets, your water use may be less than some amounts on the chart. Choose the water amount from each chart
that most closely resembles your family's water use.
Table 1. Indoor Water Uses
Table 1 approximates the gallons of water the average family uses inside the house based on the number of people
in the household. To determine the amount of water your household may use, in gallons per day, for indoor uses
locate the column with the the number of people in your household and read down the column to TOTAL for
the approximate total gallons per day of household water consumption.

Water conservation saves water, energy, and money.
For several years, northeast Florida's rainfall has been below normal. Lack of rain has caused record
low levels in our underground drinking water supply.
The average adult needs only 2 1/z quarts of water a day to maintain health, but each person in Florida
uses about 120 to 150 gallons of water a day. And, with thousands of people moving to our state each
month, future demand on fresh water supplies will continue to increase.
That's why it's important to use water wisely (whether there's a drought or not) in our homes, schools
and businesses. By conserving water today, we can do our part to keep water pure and plentiful for
future generations. By following a few simple steps, a typical family of four can save 50,000 to 100,000
gallons of water each year.
You can score big by following this water -saving game plan:
Stuff it. In the wastebasket, that is. Toss Blow the whistle... on water wasters. Remind
tissues, insects, or anything else you want to ge your friends and family to conserve.

I. INTRODUCTION
A. Purse
The purpose of this potable water rate evaluation is to recommend a modification to the
methodology used by the City for determining monthly water user fees. The City presently
uses a base rate fee plus a flat rate volumetric fee to charge for the monthly volume of
water consumption. This type rate structure is generally described as a "flat rate" system
and does not encourage the conservation of water. This method of calculating water user
fees has been historically used by many local governments but is currently not promoted
due to the need to conserve the potable water resources. The City currently charges a base
rate of $7.64 per month plus $.51 per 1,000 gallons of consumed water.
The City renewed its Consumptive Use Permit with the St. Johns River Water Management
District as of November 27, 1996. The purpose of the Consumptive Use Permit is to
provide the District with a means to regulate and measure total water withdrawal from the
Floridan Aquifer. Over the last few years, the District has mandated all public utilities to
encourage water conservation through an "inclined rate" structure. An inclined rate
structure results in water users with higher monthly consumption paying a higher water rate
thus providing a financial incentive for the conservation of potable water. A condition of
the City's new Consumptive Use Permit mandates a change to an inclined rate structure by
November 1997.
2 OE-65\waterstudy
The objective of this water rate evaluation is to develop a recommended inclined rate
structure that ensures a fair and equitable recovery of the cost of providing water service
to the residents of Ocoee. This water rate evaluation is not intended to provide an
increase in the overall water revenues but is recommended solely to provide the City
with an incentive plan for the conservation of the water resource. It should be noted
that any change in the calculation of monthly water user fees may create changes in the
overall consumption of potable water and the overall annual revenue collected from users
of the water system.
B. Study Procedures
The rate evaluation was conducted. in two (2) phases. The first phase included a review
of the documented cost of providing water service to the City of Ocoee residents. This
review included an analysis of the sufficiency of water revenues to fund the following:
• Operation and maintenance. Expense of the Water System
• Debt Service of the Water System
• Administrative Costs
• Renewal and Replacement Costs
The second phase of the Study included a review. of the current water rate structure and a
recommendation concerning the modification of the water rate structure to fairly and
equitably recover the cost of providing service and provide a financial incentive for water
conservation was developed.
3 OE-65\waterstudy
There are several important issues that must be considered in a potable water rate study. The key
issues which were considered in this study include but were not necessarily limited to the
following:
• Revenue Sufficiency - Water rates must generate sufficient revenues to cover not
only operations, maintenance and capital cost requirements, but they must also
provide sufficient net income to meet the debt service coverage requirements of the
utility's outstanding water revenue bond issue (Series 1997 Water and Sewer
Revenue Bond Issue).
• Fair and Equitable Cost Recovery - Properly designed water rates and charges
should recover the cost of service in a fair and equitable manner from the users of
the water system in proportion to their usage:
• Cost of Service A detailed cost of service evaluation is necessary to identify and
estimate all costs incurred by the City in provision of water services including direct
costs, indirect and departmental costs, indirect City-wide costs and
interdepartmental or central services costs which benefit the provision of water
service. This was completed as part of the Engineer's Report for the Series 1997
Water and Sewer Revenue Bond Issue.
• Cost Allocation - In a viable cost allocation methodology, the costs of service must
be allocated to functional categories of service, and further, to cost elements or
objectives, related to the ultimate user charge rate schedule to the rate schedule in
4 OE-65\waterstudy
such a way that they are distributed to the users in a fair and equitable manner
based upon usage.
• Conservation Incentives - The continued demand upon the water resources caused
by growth in Central Florida has caused most public utilities to closely examine rate
structure alternatives that encourage conservation. In the development of the rate
structure components which promote conservation, it is important to:
0 Develop rational criteria for the level(s) of usage by customer class at which
the higher consumption rate(s) become effective,
0 Develop a rational basis for the amount of increase at each consumption
"step" in the rate structure, and
0 Recognize the potential revenue deductions (elasticity of demand) due to
conservation and factor those potential reductions into the revenue
requirements to. be recovered at the expected level of consumption.
• Level of Services Standards - The Growth Management Act of 1985 require that
all cities and counties in Florida establish level of service (LOS) standards in their
Comprehensive Plan for the provision of potable water service. The City has
adopted a LOS of 300 gallons per ERU. The St. Johns River Water Management
District (SJRWMD) has issued the Consumptive Use Permit based on a
consumption rate of 150 gallons per capita. It is important to establish rates and
capital cost recovery fees to provide sufficient funding for the facilities necessary
to meet the level of service standards adopted in the City's Comprehensive Plan.
5 OE-65\waterstudy
• Automation - It is important in developing a water rate system that it be automated
so that subsequent rate adjustments can be cost effectively determined and
implemented. Our recent preparation of the Engineers Report for the City's Bond
Issue and annual evaluation of the City's water budget has assisted in the
development of the revenue sufficiency analysis.
• Customer Classification - It is important to thoroughly analyze the customer
constituency in order to properly identify customer classifications, their
characteristics, and the type of system statistics and billing frequency analyses
necessary to support the recommended rate structure and cost allocation
methodology.
• Irrigation Considerations - It is important to consider the effects of water usage
for residential lawn irrigation in developing an inclined rate structure. This
includes considerations such as a cap on total sewer charges. As the City's
reclaimed water program is expanded to residential properties, the water rate
structure will need to be reviewed.
• Fixed Base Charge - The recent emphasis of water conservation has rendered
minimum consumption allowances less and less popular because a minimum
consumption allowance does not promote water conservation. Most rate structures
being implemented today include a fixed readiness -to -serve charge (base rate) with
no minimum allowance for consumption, and the consumption charge is applied
beginning with the first unit of consumption. These issues were all considered in
the development of the rate structure recommendations presented herein.

SECTION IV RATES ANALYSIS
This section presents an analysis of the City's current water rate structure and recommended
modifications to the water rate structure.
A. CURRENT WATER RATE STRUCTURE
WATER - The City's current rate structure was adopted in 1989 based on a rate
study prepared by Rachlin and Cohen, Certified Public Accountants. The rates
were gradually increased through 1993 and have not changed since 1993. The
rate structure includes a fixed monthly charge (base rate) per equivalent
residential unit (ERU) and a water usage charge (volumetric rate) per 1,000
gallons of water consumed. Water rates are the same for residential and
commercial users.
CURRENT RATES ARE:
$7.64 (base rate) / ERU plus $.51 volumetric charge per 1,000 gallons
B. RECOMMENDED RATE STRUCTURE
WATER - There are several components of the City's existing water rate
structure that are recommended for modifications. It is important to understand
that whatever water rate structure is adopted, the revenue requirements of the
Water System will remain constant and the revenue must be recovered from the
8 OE-65\waterstudy
rates and charges of the water rate structure. The overall goal of these
modifications to the City's water rate structure is to promote water conservation
through financial incentives. To the extent that a change in the water rate
structure increases the relative cost burden of a specific customer classification
(higher usage), commensurate decreases will occur in the relative cost burden of
other specific customer classifications (lower users). The net result of the
modified rate structure is to ensure the total water revenue is sufficient to fund
the water system expenditures and to maintain the current total water system
revenue to the maximum extent possible. The recommended rate structure
modifications are described below:
1. Monthly Base Rate
Anal - The City's current rate structure assesses a monthly base rate
of $7.64 per ERU. The purpose of the base rate is to recover the cost of
providing water service independent of the volume of water consumption.
These costs include items such as debt service, administrative costs
(billing, collection, meter reading, management), general fund
contribution, renewal and replacement.
These costs include all fixed costs associated with providing water service
to meet potential demands of the water customers of the system and
should be allocated to all customers based on meter size or ERU allocation
as a representation of potential demand. - The City bonded its water
9 OE-65\waterstudy
revenue in January of 1997 to expand the water treatment and distribution
system and provide water capacity for future growth. A review of the
City's current fixed costs, including debt service, indicates an annual cost
of approximately $850,000. The City has approximately 10,050 ERUs.
Thus a fair and equitable base rate is $7.00 per month. The decrease
from the existing base rate of $7.64 is due to the capitalization of long-
term debt based on the 1997 Series Revenue Bond.
2. Volumetric Charges
Analysis - The City's current water rate structure assesses water usage
charges uniformly for all water consumers. The cost per 1,000 gallons
of water usage is uniform at low usage volumes as it is at high usage
volumes. The City currently charges $.51 per 1,000 gallons for water
usage.
Recommendation - Due to the increasing need to conserve the water
resources, we recommend the establishment of an inclining Block Rate
Structure for water usage. The Structure should include an Essential
Domestic Usage Rate Block for water consumption. The Rate Block's
first threshold should coincide with the City's existing Sewer Rate
Structure of 15,000 gallons for the maximum amount of Sewer charges.
The structure should include a Discretionary Usage Block (second tier)
with an increased volumetric rate for usage within the range of 16,000
gallons to 25,000 gallons. The structure should also include a
10 OE-65\waterstudy
Conservation Surcharge Rate for usage above 25,000 gallons per month.
The recommended rate structure is as follows:
Base Rate: $7.00 per ERU/month
Volumetric Rate: $.60/1000 up to 15,000 gallons (Essential Rate)
$.92/1000 up to 25,000 gallons (Discretionary Rate)
$1.25/1000 greater than 25,000 gallons
(Conservation Surcharge Rate)
The modified rate structure will directly benefit low-volume customers
using less than 8,000 gallons of water per month. This is approximately
50 percent of the City's water customers. The two (2) Discretionary and
Conservation Surcharge Blocks are essential to provide a financial
incentive to conserve water. .
