<br /> <br />Water <br />Water consumption billed over the last five years has been relatively flat. <br /> <br /> Note-Includes St Paul Beverage that is on Little Canada Water but on Maplewood Sewer. <br /> <br />The billed water consumption as compared to consumption billed to the City by the Saint Paul Regional <br />Water Services (SPRWS) has trended well over the last five years at over 95%. <br />Three of these years have been above 99%. <br /> <br /> Note-Lower percentage billed in 2017 due to a large water main break. <br /> <br />Future Water Rate Increases <br />In reviewing the water rates, consumption billed was held flat and capital outlay needs to 2034 were <br />included in the rate analysis. Based on a 3% percent increase in operating expenses per year, the rate <br />increases are estimated to continue at 3% percent per year in the future. <br /> <br />Future rate increases will be analyzed during the budget process each year and may change from the 3% <br />percent increase per year. Items that may change the 3% increases are such things as operating expenses <br />higher or lower than a 3% increase, consumption billed changes, or changes in the contract with SPRWS <br />that expires at the end of 2021. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
