DATE: September 17, 1999
SUBJECT: City Council Meeting, September 23, 1999
ITEM: 9.A.3. Consider an ordinance amending the Water and Wastewater
rates. (Second Reading)
Water and wastewater rates have not increased since 1991 but are proposed
to increase by 4.6% each of the next two years. Increased operating costs,
regulatory requirements and an $85 million utility construction program to
provide upgraded and expanded facilities are the primary causes of the rate
increases. The proposed rates will increase an average residential bill by
approximately $2.29 per month. The rate adjustments will affect all retail
customers. Additionally, the bulk water rates, which primarily apply to water
used in construction and which have not changed since 1987, are scheduled
to change in accordance with the attached exhibit. The first reading of the
ordinance was approved on September 9, 1999. Staff Resource Person:
David Kautz, Finance Director.
