12 Water Rates: The April 2012 water rate discussion resulted in the multi-year approach cited previously. Consistent with this approach, the annual transfer from the water operations to the general fund was eliminated. In 2012, water rates were increased from $2.60 to $2.67 per 1,000 gallons. The recommended 2013 rate per 1,000 gallons is $2.75, or an eight cent increase. This represents a 3.00% increase in rate and would be expected to generate $25,050 in additional revenues (assuming water usage is at 90% of 2012). The impact on a 10,000 gallon per quarter user would be as follows: Quarter Usage Rate % Change 2011 $26.00 $2.60 - 2012 $26.70 $2.67 2.69 2013 $31.51 $2.75 3.00 Sewer Rates: The approach to sewer rates in 2012 was the same as used for the water. Therefore the annual transfer from the sewer operations to the general fund was eliminated. In 2012, sewer rates were increased from $3.50 to $3.70 per 1,000 gallons. The recommended 2013 rate per 1,000 gallons is $3.78, or an eight cent increase. This represents a 2.16% increase in rate and would be expected to generate $18,270 in additional revenues (assuming first quarter water usage is similar to 2012). The impact on a 10,000 gallon per quarter user would be as follows: Quarter Usage Rate % Change 2011 $35.00 $3.50 - 2012 $37.00 $3.70 5.71 2013 $38.00 $3.78 2.16 Stormwater Rates: The approach to Stormwater rates in 2012 was the same as used for the water and sewer. In 2012 the single family residential storm water rate was increased from $13.00 to $13.35 per quarter. The recommended 2013 rate per Quarter is $13.70 or a thirty-five cent increase. This represents a 2.62% increase in rate and would be expected to generate $4,052 in additional revenues (assuming no new construction). The impact on a residential single family user would be as follows: Quarter Increase % Change 2011 $13.00 - - 2012 $13.35 $0.35 2.69 2013 $13.70 $0.35 2.62
