SUMMARY: On April 3, 2013 the City Council adopted a new rate structure for residential water
rates and implemented rates for the City's Water, Wastewater and Stormwater utilities based on the
results of an extensive study to assess revenue requirements needed to fund their operating and
capital programs. Each year, an annual review of the ongoing operations and capital programs is
done and adjustments are made to reflect any changes to the capital and operational needs of the
utilities. These changes are incorporated into the rate model to identify necessary rate changes to
adequately fund utility programs. The attached ordinance reflects these adjustments for fiscal year
2015.
