<br />. ATTACHMENT THREE <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 2010111 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 /> <br />A Unit = 100 <br />cubic feet or <br />748 gallons <br /> <br />0-10 units <br />11-25 units <br />26-50 units <br />51 + units <br /> <br />$2.20 <br />$2.80 <br />$4.57 <br />$6.45 <br /> <br />$2.40 $2.62 <br />$3.05 $3.32 <br />_$4.98 .___$5.43 _ <br />$7.03 $7.66 <br /> <br />· Increase monthly commercial and commercial irriaation Basic Service Charge for a 5/8" <br />meterfrom $16.53 to $18.02, effective July 1, 2010, and from $18.02 to $19.64, effective July <br />1,2011. <br /> <br />· Increase monthly commercial and commercial irrigation Basic Service Charges for larger <br />meters by the same percentage as 5/8" meter increase (90,.'0), effective July 1,2010 and 2011. <br /> <br />· Increase commercial waler consumption rates as follows: <br /> <br /> <br />· Increase Dotable irrigation water consumption rates as follows: <br /> <br /> <br />__Q-100% of budget <br />101-200% of budget <br />>200% of bud et <br /> <br />$3.92 <br />$7.84 <br />$11.76 <br /> <br />$3.60 <br />$7,19 <br />$10.79 <br /> <br />._-~~ <br />$8.55 <br />$12.82 <br /> <br />· Increase ~ irrigation water consumption rates as follows: <br /> <br /> <br />The amount by which waler bills at any particular property will be afFected by these proposed increases <br />depends on the size of the meter connection (in the case of commercial property) and the amount of <br />water consumed. <br /> <br />Proposed new sewer rates <br />The City of Redwood City staff has recommended a two-year increase of the basic sanitary sewer <br />service charges. 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 South Bayside System Authority (SBSA) <br />regional wastewater treatment 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 Water and Sewer Rale [m;n:i1sc <br /> <br />Februm)' 11,2010 <br /> <br />BC <br />Page 10 <br />
