Proposed Consumption Rates <br /> If adopted, the proposed consumption charges per 100 cubic feet (CcF), or per 748 <br /> gallons, of water consumed by the type of water customer will be effective November 1, <br /> 2023. The proposed consumption rates reflect the Zone 7 pass-through rates, which are <br /> 22 percent of the fixed rate and 100 percent of the variable rate. The proposed rates <br /> also include the consumption charges effective November 1, 2023 (distribution costs, <br /> recycled water surcharge (except Tier 1 of the single-family residential rates), and <br /> capacity expansion charges.) As indicated, rates for the average single-family residence <br /> using 10 ccf per month (20 ccf per two-month billing cycle) are proposed to increase 30 <br /> percent effective November 1, 2023, 20 percent effective January 1, 2025, and then 12 <br /> percent effective January 1, 2026. The Zone 7 rate is subject to changes adopted by the <br /> Zone 7 Board of Directors. <br /> All proposed rate increases effective on November 1, 2023, are included in the public <br /> hearing notice, which is provided as Attachment 2. <br /> How Do the Rate Increases Impact City Customers? <br /> For water user fees, the study shows the need for an average increase of total rate <br /> revenues of 30 percent effective November 1, 2023, then an additional 20 percent <br /> increase effective January 1, 2025, and then an additional 12 percent for the third year <br /> effective January 1, 2026. The proposed first-year increase impacts each customer <br /> differently based on the customer's bi-monthly water consumption. Figures 4, 5, 6, and <br /> 7 present the impact of the proposed water rate increases on the single-family <br /> residential, multifamily, commercial, and irrigation customers based on a low, moderate, <br /> and high consumption for a two-month period for each customer class. <br /> Figure 4 <br /> Customer Impacts at Various Levels of Usage-Single Family Residential,5)8 inch meter <br /> $1000 $872 <br /> $900 $761 <br /> $800 <br /> m $700 $620 <br /> $553 <br /> L $600 $486 <br /> o $500 $399 $446 <br /> $400 $314$354 <br /> m $300 <br /> $200 $91 $100 $99 <br /> $132$157 $187$260 281 <br /> $59 $77 <br /> $100so iiiiiiiiiiiie MMM =MEN <br /> ■ , <br /> 10 ccf 20 ccf 40 ccf 60 ccf 90 ccf <br /> (Very Low Use) (Medium-Low Use) (Medium-High Use) (High Use) Very High Use) <br /> •Current Bill $59.23 $9853 $18693 $280.53 $446.43 <br /> s Proposed Bill 2024 $76.80 $131.70 $259.90 $398 70 $619.80 <br /> •Proposed Bill 2025 $90.76 $156.56 $31396 $48636 $761 46 <br /> *Proposed Bill 2026 $100.00 $173.50 $353.50 $55290 $871.80 <br /> Page 11 of 19 <br />
