Resolution Number~
The following rate adjustment shall be calculated pursuant to the following formula:
I
The percentage of pumping rate shall be multiplied times the cost of groundwater (including
OCWD replenishment assessment, energy costs, and associated fees) and added to the product of
the percentage of imported water times the cost of imported water (including MWDOC water
purchase costs, energy costs, and associated fees). This shall yield an average cost per acre foot.
This new cost per acre foot shall be divided by the existing acre foot cost to produce a rate
multiplier. The rate multiplier shall be applied to the water rates within the existing rate schedule
to determine the new water rate schedule.
The percentage of water to be pumped and the percentage to be purchased shall be established by
the Director of Public Works prior to May I first of each year, based upon the basin percentage
assigned to the City of Seal Beach by the Orange County Water District.
BE IT FUR TIlER RESOLVED that the water rates and commodity adjustment clause set forth
above shall be effective the first biIling cycle ofJuly, 1997. Until such date the existing water
rates shall remain effective.
