Proposed Water Use Charge <br /> Source: Cost of service from Figure 4-8; Water use from Figure 5-8. <br /> <br />The three-year schedule of proposed Water Use Charges for Single Family Residential, Multi <br />Family Residential, Commercial, and Irrigation customers is shown in Figure 5-10. <br />Figure 5-10. Current and Proposed Water Use Charge Rates <br /> ¹Commercial includes commercial, industrial, other, municipal, commercial fire, landscape irrigation, <br />and recycled water accounts. <br />Note: Rounding differences caused by stored values in electronic models may exist. <br />Further impacts to customers due to these recommended adjustments will be discussed in <br />Section 6. <br />Drought Rates <br />During prolonged shortages, customers are required to conserve or even ration their water <br />use. The magnitude of the water savings can significantly reduce water sales revenue from <br />quantity charges. <br />The City requested HF&H to update the Drought Rates that would be applied to the rates for <br />the Water Use Charges and implemented during declared water shortage stages in accordance <br />with the City’s Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP), state mandated reductions in the <br />Consumption Charge Cost of Service Demand <br />Operations & Maintenance $36,969,410 <br />Capital Expenses (PayGo)$0 <br />Non-Operating Revenue $0 <br />Transfers to/(from) Reserves ($3,804,392) <br />Total Consumption Charge COS $33,165,018 <br />Net Consumption Charge $33,165,018 <br />Annual water use (hcf)3,611,875 <br />Consumption Charge ($ per hcf)$9.18 <br />Current FY 2025-26 FY 2026-27 FY 2027-28 <br />Usage Rates Usage eff. 1/1/2026 eff. 1/1/2027 eff. 1/1/2028 <br />Single Family Residential <br />Tier 1 (0-10 hcf) $6.90 All Water Use $9.18 $9.73 $10.22 <br />Tier 2 (11-14 hcf) $7.89 <br />Tier 3 (15-20 hcf) $10.30 <br />Tier 4 (21+ hcf) $15.59 <br />Multi Family Residential <br />All Water Use $8.47 All Water Use $9.18 $9.73 $10.22 <br />Commercial¹ <br />All Water Use $8.47 All Water Use $9.18 $9.73 $10.22 <br />ATTY/RESO.0109/CC RESO WATER RATES - EXHIBIT A <br />REV: 11-05-25 MI
