<br /> 5.2.2.FINANCIAL IMPACTS
<br /> The next step in the drought rate study is to determine the financial impacts to the City during each stage of
<br /> drought. The cost implications of drought consider the following:
<br /> • Lost commodity charge revenue due to water usage reductions in each drought stage
<br /> • Potential changes to operating costs, which include water supply sources and the associated costs
<br /> For the City, the most significant financial consequence is the loss of consumption-based revenue, the severity of
<br /> which depends on the drought stage. Drought conditions will also require more staff to be hired to handle
<br /> conservation efforts and respond to an increase in customer service requests. There will be additional costs
<br /> associated with drought including increased printing and mailing costs for noticing customers of changes to their
<br /> rates and other miscellaneous equipment. Conversely, water purchase costs from Zone 7 decrease during drought
<br /> as well as pumping costs savings as less water is being circulated through the system during drought.
<br /> Table 54 shows the commodity revenue for Stages 1 through 6 compared to baseline excluding revenues collected
<br /> from allotment usage. This is calculated based on the proposed FY 2024 commodity charges(Table 4-9) multiplied
<br /> by the estimated water usage by drought stage for each customer class excluding allotment usage(Table 5-3). The
<br /> difference in commodity charge revenue(Line 12) is equal to the difference between the Baseline revenue and the
<br /> estimated revenue for Stages 1 through 6, which represents the amount of lost commodity charge revenue in each
<br /> stage.
<br /> Table 5-5 shows the additional staffing costs associated with each stage of drought. Additional staff are required to
<br /> manage a combination of increased water conservation efforts and customer service requirements. Additional
