The concept will allow for reasonable rate adjustments that maintain an equitable sharing of costs, encourages conservation, and retires debt. The approach and rates will be evaluated annually. The impact of the recommended rates on a residential customer using 1.0,000 gallons quarterly would be as follows (2.48%): Resolutions 13-034 contain the rate adjustments recommended above. The remainder of this document discusses the rate increases by service type. 2012 2013 $ Change Water $26.70 $27.50 $0.80 Sewer $37.00 $37.80 $0.80 Stormwater $13.35 $13.70 $0.25 State Surcharge $1.59 $1.59 - 78.64 80.59 1.95 Resolutions 13-034 contain the rate adjustments recommended above. The remainder of this document discusses the rate increases by service type. 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 13 The rate increases for other land use categories are comparable to increase in single family residential (classifications 2 & 3) Classification -Land Use 2012 Charge Proposed 2013 Charge % Chan e 1 -Cemeteries, parks, golf courses, railroads, vacant land $55.40 per acre $56.85 per acre 2.62% 2- R-1, R-1 a, and R-2 residential $53.40 per unit $54.80 per unit 2.62% 3- R-3 residential $53.40 per unit $54.80 per unit 2.62% 4- Schools and institutional uses $127.55 per acre $130.90 per acre 2.62% 5- R-4 Residential, churches and manufactured home parks $162.70 per acre $166.96 per acre 2.62% 6- Commercial and industrial $203.25 per acre $208.58 per acre 2.62% 14 1-1-11S PAC& LIT F IN -1 LN-1-IONALly BLANK CITY OF ST.
