Curtis E. Hawk, City Manager
Lou Ann Heath, Director of Finance
Ordinance No. 604, Amending Water Rates
At the April 19, 1994 City Council meeting, fiscal planning consultant Lewis McLain presented
a five year utility financial plan. The plan incorporates capital improvements and operational
costs, and projects revenues based upon growth assumptions. The plan proposes a 4.13 % overall
reduction in the water volume rate. Based upon current volumes, this will translate into a revenue
reduction of approximately $139,000 for the year, which will not negatively impact current
operations. No adjustments am proposed for the wastewater or garbage rates. The City's current
and proposed residential water rates are listed below:
Standard rate:
(0 2,000 gallons)
Current Rates Proposed Rates
$26.16 $26.16
Volume rate:
(2,001 - 100,000 gallons)
$3.14 per 1,000
$3.00 per 1,000
(100,001 + gallons)
$3.92 per 1,000 $3.00 per 1,000
Conunercial account standard rates will remain the same, with volume rates reduced from $3.14
to $3.00 per 1,000 gallons for all consumption over the meter size minimum consumption.
The Elderly/Hardship standard rote remains at $11.38 for 2,000 gallons, with the volume rate for
consumption over 2,000 gallons remaining at $2.73 per 1,000 up to 100,000 gallons. For
consumption over 100,000 gallons, the elderly/hardship volume rate is proposed to be reduced
from $3.41 to $2.73 per thousand. There am currently 30 accounts with the elderly/hardship rate.
It is recommended that the City Council approve Ordinance No. 604, amending the water utility
rates, which will become effective for the June 1994 billing.
