RECOMMENDATION
1 he Fayetteville Water and Sewer Committee requested Staff present (1) the water proposed rates and
related policy changes: and (2) three alternath es thr the sewer rate and related policy changes for
decision by the full City Council.
BACKGROUND
11DR with input from City staff. is finalizing the water and sewer rate study. The fundamental
information was first presented to the City Council Water and Sewer Committee by Tom Gould. HDR,
on July 27, 2007. There have since been numerous Committee meetings with staff, Toni Gould and
various interested parties. These meetings have resulted in an excellent understanding of the rate
development process, a number of significant changes to current City policy. as well as identifying
background data. the costs of service for various customer groups, and a \ ariety of rate alternatives.
DISCUSSION
The Committee has adopted and recommends the following policy guidelines:
1. The City shall adopt a cost of service rate schedule based on customer class.
2. The City shall use volumetric blocks within selected rate classes as appropriate:
a. Residential shall have an increasing block to reduce the cost burden of life critical water uses,
encourage consenation. and capture system costs of irrigation through residential meters;
b. Non-residential shall have a declining block to match the reduced volumctric cost of service
for larger non-residential users;
c. Industrial shall use a declining block to match the reduced volumetric cost of service for major
users.
3. All legitimate non -emergency water consumption shall be metered and billed at an appropriate rate.
REOUIRED DECISIONS
The remaining decisions are:
1. What are the rate adjustments for each class of scnice?
2. When shall the rate adjustments be implemented?
