COST OF SERVICE ANALYSIS
Results Take-aways and Policy Direction
• Various Cost Inequities Identified through COSA
• Typical Policy Objectives:
• Recognize Cost of Service Analysis is a snapshot in time
• Design future rates commensurate w/ cost of service provided
• Define acceptable targets and correct gradually to avoid "Rate Shock"
• Policy Direction / Recommendations:
• Vary volumetric Increases over time to achieve Target vs. One-time Corrections
• Define Appropriate Targets (i.e. ±10% by Year 3 / ±5% by Year 5)
• Refresh COSA in Year 5 to reset structure and determine progress
COST OF SERVICE ANALYSIS RECOMMENDATIONS
WASTEWATER:
1. One-time adjustment to Industrial/High-Strength rates to better reflect COS provided
2. Strive for full cost recovery from each class/equitability between classes within 5-years
3. Recover appropriate costs through fixed, volumetric, and high strength rates
WATER:
1. Realign Fixed Charges according to AWWA recommended equivalent meter ratios
2. Consider conservation driven alternatives to existing Single Family and Low Income
Residential Tier Structure
3. Maintain constant block for non-residential user classes
4. Increase Government and Commercial constant block rates to improve equitability
5. Establish separate Industrial rate class to recognize level of service differences
6. Identify Appropriate Drought Rate and Reserve Funding Strategies

Tier Sizing Considerations
• Essential Use - Average Residential winter water use = 4.67 CCF/account
• 6 CCF captures indoor water use for Single Family Residential and Low Income up
to 80th and 90th percentiles, respectively
• City Staff analysis found that average responsible irrigation use is 19 CCF,
accounting for typical precipitation, evapotranspiration, and residential lot size
• Reduction Target - Water use in excess of 25 CCF/month

Model developed to evaluate probability of varying level of water sales
and revenue based on:
■ Existing and projected water rates and tier structure alternatives
■ Detailed breakdown of a recent year of billed water sales
■ Account growth factors
■ Demand elasticity factors
■ Weather Variation Potential:
o Historical monthly maximum temperature data
o Multiple years of historical monthly precipitation data

DROUGHT RATES
Key Considerations ==
• What's the maximum reduction potential by user class?
• Should Drought Rate increases be revenue-neutral by class?
• Is there a target maximum increase for drought pricing on essential use?
• How could a Drought Reserve offset required increases?
• What is a reasonable timeframe to fully fund Drought Reserve?
• Should Drought Reserve funding be shared by all classes?
• Should Tier 4 revenue be applied directly to Drought Reserve?
