Terms You Will Hear
•Acre Foot – Enough water to cover an acre of land, about the size of a football field, one foot deep; City purchases
water in these units
•Cost of Service – Utility’s cost to provide water service to each customer class based on demands each places on utility
•Customer Class – Residential, Commercial, City, and Irrigation
•Fixed Charge – Amount charged by meter size. Does not vary by water use
•hcf – Common billing unit used to charge for water in California. hcf = 100 cubic feet = 748 gallons
•Meter Size – Meters track water usage at the property. Size determined by its supply line. Most residential meters are ¾”
•Rate – Amount charged per unit of water
•Rate Structure – Rates and charges applied to various customer classes
•Rate Study – Process of determining proposed future water rates
•Tiered Rate Structure – Pricing water so that cost per unit increases as consumption increases
•Uniform Rate Structure – Charging same amount per unit of water used, regardless of how much water is used
•Volumetric Rate – Amount charged per unit of water use. Measured in hcf by City.

Why Review Water
and Wastewater
Rates?
Why Review Water and
Wastewater Rates?
6
•City has not increased water rates since 2014 and
wastewater rates since 2005
•Your costs to provide water and wastewater service
increase every year!
›Employee labor and benefits and pensions
›Water Purchase Costs
›Electricity
›Repair & Replacement of Capital
•City water system needs capital reinvestment
›An average of $3.24 million per year, over the next
5 years, starting in FY 2021
•Implementing “textbook” rate setting principles to
increase equity and defensibility
Water, Sewer,
and Trash vs CPI
7
Across the country Water,
Wastewater and Trash rates
are rising faster than normal
goods/services.

Current Bi-monthly Sewer Rate Structure
•How Sewer Customers are billed:
•Bill = 22% of (Water Bill = Water Service Charge + Water
Capital Charge) + Sewer Capital Charge
•75% of current sewer revenue ($2.1M of $2.8M) comes from
the Sewer Capital Charge
•City is billing sewer customers in proportion to water meter
size; meter size is an estimate of potential sewer use
•We propose a more equitable rate structure:
Rate structure charges in proportion to estimated sewer
flow/use
Water, discharge to the sewer, is a better estimate of sewer
use
e.g., park with 2” meter may only have a small
bathroom; the rest of water use is for irrigation and does
not go into the sewer
