Sewer Rates: <br />As part of the annual rate adjustment process the sewer treatment and collection system <br />costs are categorized as fixed in nature or flow volume driven. The 2022 budgeted <br />sewer costs are comprised of $520,157 in fixed costs and $768,737 in flow volume driven <br />costs (usage), see Exhibit D summary below: <br /> OPERATING DEPRECIATION OVERALL <br />FIXED 433,079 37% 87,078 70% 520,157 40% <br />USAGE 731,419 63% 37,318 30% 768,737 60% <br /> 1,164,498 100% 124,396 100% 1,288,894 100% <br />The Multiyear approach to sewer rates also includes the phase in of the flat fee. As part <br />of the transition process the usage rate growth was expected to decelerate as flat fee was <br />phased-in.

Collection system charge 15.25 17.20 1.95 <br />The above rates are projected to produce $1,319,891 in revenues in 2022. At this level of <br />revenues, the operating income before depreciation is budgeted to be $155,483.
