<br />ATTACHMENT 3 <br />Notice of Proposed Increases in Water & Sewer Rates <br /> <br />Proposed new water rates <br />The City of Redwood City staff has recommended a two-year increase in water servIce charges <br />and consumption rates. This recommendation is primarily due to projected increases in the cost of <br />wholesale water from the City and County of San Francisco of 15.2% during Fiscal Year 2010/11 and <br />10.2% in 2011/12. Additionally, the City's water rates support the operation and maintenance of the <br />City's water system, including labor, replacement and improvements (capital projects) for the water <br />system, and the cost of support provided by other City departments. <br /> <br />The proposed increases are as follows: <br /> <br />· Increase monthly residential Basic Service Charge from $16.53 to $18.02, effective July 1, <br />2010. and from $18.02 to $19.64, effective July 1,2011. <br /> <br />· Increase residential consumption rates as follows: <br /> <br />Current <br /> <br />FY <br />2011/12 <br />Proposed <br /> <br />Rate <br />Tiers <br /> <br />FY <br />2010/11 <br />Proposed <br />_.cost~e: ~nit Cost per Unit <br /> <br /> <br />I ',' .: <br />" . <br /> <br />Cost <br /> <br />A Unit = 100 <br />cubic feet or <br />748 gallons <br /> <br />0-10 units <br />__-11-~units __ <br />26-50 units <br />51 + units <br /> <br />$2.62 <br />=-$3~32_ <br />$5.43 <br />$7.66 <br /> <br />$2.20 <br />$2.80 <br />.-- $4.57 <br />--- $6.4g-- <br /> <br />.

The City's sewer utility is self-supporting, funded primarily by sewer service charges. <br />The recommended sewer rate Increases are primarily due to increased costs for the City's share of <br />operations, maintenance, and capital improvements at the Soulh Bayside System Author~y (SBSA) <br />regional wastewater Irealment plant. which processes and disposes of the City sewage. Additionally, <br />the City's sewer rates support the operation and maintenance costs, including labor, replacement and <br />improvements (capital projects) for the City's sewer collection system and the cost of support provided by <br />other City departments. <br /> <br />Proposed Waler lInd Sew,-...
