<br /> <br />Water Rate Cost-of-Service Study <br />Section 6. Customer Bill Impacts <br /> <br /> <br />HF&H Consultants, LLC | July 8, 2025 | Page 48 of 53 <br />Neighboring Agency Comparison <br />The bill for common water use by a Single Family household in Redwood City was compared <br />to a water bill subject to neighboring agency rates in Figure 6-2. For a monthly comparison, <br />the average bi-monthly water use of 16 HCF was halved to 8 HCF to calculate the Volumetric <br />Charge. The bi-monthly Service Charge was halved to calculate the Fixed Charge. With the <br />recommend increases, the customer bill for common water use increases slightly among <br />neighboring agencies. <br />Figure 6-2. Single Family Residential Monthly Bill Survey <br /> <br />Multi Family Bills Under Proposed Rates (eff. 1/1/2026) <br />Commercial bills will increase proportionately to the level of water use. At lower levels of <br />water use, bills benefit due to the reduced Service Charge. Overall, there is a widening gap <br />between the two lines in each chart shown in Figure 6-3 to Figure 6-5. As usage increases, <br />the bill at proposed rates grows at a more rapid rate than the bill under current rates. The <br />three comparisons shown are for three of the most common meter sizes and represent 73% <br />of commercial customers. Regardless of the meter size and level of water use, customers can <br />expect monthly bills will increase. <br />ATTY/RESO.0109/CC RESO WATER RATES - EXHIBIT A <br />REV: 11-05-25 MI
