Agenda Item: Discussion/direction on rate increases necessary to fund the FY 11-16. <br />Water and Wastewater Capital Improvement Programs <br />JANUARY 2010 RATES ALTERNATIVES <br />Four (4) "Scenarios" were defined for the purpose of analyzing rates which would be <br />required to support each alternative, depending upon how the Big Chino Water Ranch <br />Project (BCWR) and major improvements to the wastewater treatment plants are <br />funded. Discussion centered on "Scenario 2", where rates would fund improvements to <br />the wastewater treatment plants, but not a portion of the BCWR. Note that with <br />construction of the BCWR pipeline now considered at least 7-10 years away, the <br />current, approved FY 11-16 CIP indeed does not include construction funding for that <br />project. <br />Attached for information and reference are the following documents: <br />• Total Monthly Charges for Average Residential Customer using 5,000 Gallons <br />Water and Generating 5,000 Gallons Wastewater (Scenario 2, 1/2010 - 1/2019) <br />• Water Rates Effective 1/1/2010 <br />• Sewer Rates Effective 1/1/2010 <br />• Water Rate Schedule (1/2010 - 1/2014) for Scenario 2 <br />• Wastewater Rate Schedule (1/2010 - 1/2018) for Scenario 2 <br />• FY 11 — 16 Water and Wastewater CIP w Scenarios <br />FUNDING THE FY 11-16 WATER AND WASTEWATER CAPITAL PROGRAMS <br />Water and wastewater rates, the Water and Wastewater Capital Improvement <br />Programs, or both, need to be revised to balance projects and funding ... <br />Consider rate study for water and wastewater improvements based on a six year capital <br />improvement program ... <br />Actions could include initiating the public process required by Arizona Revised Statutes <br />for raising rates ... <br />Recommended Action: This item is for Council discussion and direction regarding <br />action items to be brought back for consideration. <br />2 <br />
