City of Pleasanton <br />2025 Water Rate Study <br /> <br />Water Resources Economics <br />51 <br />REVENUE OFFSET FUNCTIONALIZATION <br />Table 3-4 shows the revenue offsets allocated by functional categories. Based on the definition of <br />Revenue Offsets in the beginning of this subsection of the report, all non-rate revenues including interest <br />income, meter sales, and administration fees can be allocated toward this function except for non-rate <br />revenues related to internal transfers (Line 9; from Table 3-1, Line 10). <br /> <br />Table 3-4: Revenue Offsets by System Functions <br />Line Cost Functions Revenue <br />Offsets <br />Percent of <br />Total <br />1 Meter Maintenance $0 0.0% <br />2 Customer Service $0 0.0% <br />3 Water Supply $0 0.0% <br />4 Pumping $0 0.0% <br />5 Storage $0 0.0% <br />6 T&D $0 0.0% <br />7 Conservation $0 0.0% <br />8 General $0 0.0% <br />9 Revenue Offset ($470,000) 100.0% <br />10 Total ($470,000) 100.0% <br /> <br />3.4 COST CAUSATION COMPONENTS <br />COST COMPONENT DEFINITIONS <br />While the functional categories represent the costs of system functions, cost causation components <br />represent the reasons for why and how those costs are incurred within the system (thus, cost causation). <br />Cost causation components will be referred to as cost components in this report. The next step of the <br />cost-of-service analysis is to allocate the Operating, Capital, and Revenue Offsets in the functional <br />categories between the cost components, most of which directly correspond to a single functional <br />category. <br />The cost components in this study include the following: <br />• Meter: directly corresponds to the Meter Maintenance functional category <br />• Customer: directly corresponds to the Customer Service functional category <br />• Water Supply: directly corresponds to the Water Supply functional category <br />• Delivery: costs associated with delivering and distributing water to customers <br />• Conservation: directly corresponds to the Conservation functional category <br />• Revenue Offset: directly corresponds to the Revenue Offset functional category <br />• General: directly corresponds to the General functional category <br />
