24 Quarter Usage Rate 2011 $35.00 $3.50 2012 $37.00 $3.70 2013 $37.50 $3.75 In addition it was noted that the Multi -family residential, Condos, and townhomes were excluded from the minimum sewer base charges. To be consistent for all residential uses a minimum use charge is being recommended for all residential properties at the base equal to that of single family. This is expected to generate $12,075 in additional sewer charges. Water Rates: The April 2012 water rate discussion also focused on improved operating income. Therefore the annual transfer from the water operations to the general fund was eliminated, similar to the action taken with the sewer operations. Water rates were increased from $2.60 to $2.67 per 1,000 gallons. It was anticipated at that time that rate per 1,000 gallons would be increased by 2.5% for 2013. Additionally the minimum usage charge was scheduled to increase by 1,250 gallons. The rate increase from $2.67 to $2.74 represents a 2.5% increase is expected to generate $21,217 in additional revenues (assuming water usage at 91 % of 2012). An increase of the minimum use base from 7,500 to 8,750 was also scheduled to occur. This base adjustment is estimated to produce $10,425 from residential properties under the existing minimum. The program's impact on a 10,000 gallon per quarter user would be as follows: Quarter Base 2011 $26.00 $2.60 2012 $26.70 $2.67 2013 $27.40 $2.74 Summary The impact of the above rate changes on a residential customer using 10,000 gallons quarterly would be as follows: Water Sewer Storm water State Surcharge 2012 2013 $26.70 $27.40 $37.00 $37.50 $13.35 $13.70 $1.59 $159 $78.63 $K.19 . Resolution 13-034 contains the rate adjustments recommended above.
