Pr�7.A. - Page 13 tes The City of Redwood City staff has recommended a three-year increase of the basic sanitary sewer service charges. The City's sewer utility is self-supporting, funded primarily by sewer service charges. The recommended sewer rate increases are primarily due to increased costs for the City's share of operations, maintenance, and capital improvements at the South Bayside System Authority (SBSA) regional wastewater treatment plant, which processes and disposes of the City sewage. Additionally, the City's sewer rates support the operation and maintenance costs, including labor, replacement and improvements (capital projects) for the City's sewer collection system and the cost of support provided by other City departments. The proposed dates for the sewer rate increases are: August 1, 2013, July 1, 2014 and July 1, 2015. Residential Sewer Customers • Increase minimum monthly residential Basic Service Charge from $57.88 to $63.09 effective August 1, 2013; from $63.09 to $68.77 effective July 1, 2014; and from $68.77 to $74.95 effective July 1, 2015. Commercial Sewer Customers Commercial sewer rates vary by customer class, or type of business, as shown below. Charges are calculated by multiplying each customer's rate by their metered water use during the billing period. Commercial customers pay a minimum monthly charge equal to the residential Basic Service Charge. The proposed increases are as follows: • Increase minimum monthly commercial Basic Service Charge, for all user categories, from $57.88 to $63.09 effective August 1, 2013; from $63.09 to $68.77 effective July 1, 2014; and from $68.77 to $74.95 effective July 1, 2015. • The following table shows sewer rates proposed for commercial customers based on the rate applicable to each customer class multiplied by the amount of inetered water use per billing period, with the minimum monthly charge of $63.09, $68.77, and $74.95 respectively: . , . - . . - � - � . -- .- . � . ... -. ... -. ... -. .- . .- . .- . .- Institutional / Public $4.26 $4.64 $5.06 $5.52 Retail / Commercial $4.75 $5.18 $5.65 $6.15 Hos itals $4.75 $5.18 $5.65 $6.15 Restaurants $11.53 $12.57 $13.70 $14.93 Supermarkets $11.53 $12.57 $13.70 $14.93 Industrial $3.79 $4.14 $4.51 $4.91 Public Hearing on Proposed Rates The City Council for the City of Redwood City hereby gives notice of a public hearing to be held at its meeting on Monday, June 10, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. at City Hall, 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, California.
