Shira, P.E., City Engineer/Utilities Director SUBJECT: Revisions to Water and Wastewater Rates As we have discussed recently, due to the increasing costs of operation of the water and wastewater utilities and the proposed implementation of a reclaimed water rate, we have determined the need for a revision to the existing water and wastewater rates. Attached for your review is proposed Ordinance No. 2001-28 which implements a new rate structure for the water and wastewater systems. The existing water and wastewater rates are each composed of two parts, a base rate and a consumption rate. The proposed ordinance does not change the base rate for either the water or wastewater system. The proposed ordinance does increase the consumption component of the water and wastewater rates by 6% per year for five years. The table below indicates the existing and proposed water and wastewater rate consumption component. Water Wastewater per 1,000 per 1,000 Gallons Gallons Current rate: $0.51 $1.47 Proposed Rate Effective On: October 1, 2001 $0.54 $1.56 October 1, 2002 $0.57 $1.65 October 1, 2003 $0.61 $1.75 October 1, 2004 $0.64 $1.86 October 1, 2005 $0.68 $1.97 I recommend that the City Commission authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute Ordinance No. 2001-28.
