Figure 3: Formula for Hybrid Approach <br /> Incremental Hybrid <br /> EDU ($/EDU) ($/EDU) <br /> RECOMMENDED METHODOLOGY <br /> Since new capacity is currently being constructed to meet expansion needs,and the existing capacity is insufficient <br /> for new development,the City selected the Incremental approach,which is forward-looking. <br /> System Value and Equivalent <br /> Units <br /> This section details the calculation of the per-unit costs for the Incremental approach. <br /> Water Connection Fee <br /> SYSTEM VALUE <br /> The cost basis for determining the Incremental,or expansion,system value was provided by City Staff. The$22.3 <br /> million valuation includes all expansion-related capital expenses identified in the Water Distribution System <br /> Capacity Master Plan dated November 2023 and adopted by the City in May 2024.These expenses are the share of <br /> the City's water capital improvement plan that are allocated to future users. The growth-related expenses identified <br /> in the new water master plan are used for the water system value. <br /> The 1992 water master plan had specific costs applicable to N. Pleasanton District 2B;thus, a separate connection <br /> fee was calculated for those customers. A future review of the water connection fees will use a hybrid approach <br /> and reevaluate the backbone water costs applicable to N. Pleasanton District 2B customers. Therefore,the City's <br /> existing water connection fees for N.Pleasanton District 2B customers should be used until this future analysis <br /> using the hybrid approach has been completed. <br /> EQUIVALENT UNITS <br /> To determine the Incremental component, the second step is to determine the capacity that can be served by the <br /> expansion improvements above. The expansion CIP projects are estimated to add approximately 6.06 million <br /> gallons per day(MGD)per the East Pleasanton Specific Plan and Tri-Valley Municipal and Industrial Water <br /> Demand Study.The single-family residential(SFR)equivalent capacity demand is calculated by taking the gallon <br /> per day(GPD)demand for a typical single-family home and multiplying it by the SFR maximum day peaking <br /> factor to obtain the GPD maximum day demand2.This value is used to divide the GPD additional capacity to <br /> calculate the additional SFR equivalent units served by expansion projects.This calculation is detailed in Table 1. <br /> 2 SFR demand and peaking factors were identified in the Water Distribution System Capacity Master Plan,November <br /> 2023. <br /> 11 CITY OF PLEASANTON <br />
