Sewer Rates: <br /> <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 2023 budgeted <br />sewer costs are comprised of $558,056 in fixed costs and $830,941 in flow volume driven <br />costs (usage), as shown in Exhibit D and as summarized below: <br /> <br /> OPERATING DEPRECIATION OVERALL <br />FIXED 440,650 36% 117,407 70% 558,057 40% <br />USAGE 780,625 64% 50,316 30% 830,941 60% <br /> 1,221,275 100% 167,723 100% 1,388,998 100% <br /> <br /> <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. Based on estimated actual results for 2022 and updated 2023 budgeted costs <br />that expectation is reflected in the proposed rates for 2023. <br /> <br />Proposed 2023 Sewer rates are below: <br /> <br /> 2023 2022 <br />Per 1000 gallons Rates Rates $ Increase <br />Sewer Usage rate 4.73 4.64 .09 <br />Qtr. Collection system charge 19.25 17.20 2.05 <br /> <br />The above rates are projected to produce $1,423,818 in revenues in 2023. At this level of <br />revenues, the operating income before depreciation is budgeted to be $202,093. The <br />sewer budget is attached as Exhibit D. <br /> <br />The recommendation’s impact on 2023 quarterly Sewer bills is reflected below: <br /> <br /> <br />
