Approval of Water Dispenser Rates at Colorado Acres
Submitted for:	Adrian Montemayor	Submitted By:	Adrian Montemayor
Department:	Water Utilities

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to amend existing rates for Colorado Acres Water Dispensing Station from $0.50 per 150 gallons ($3.33 per 1000 gallons) to a Two (2) tiered per event system of $1.25 per 150 gallons ($8.33 per 1000 gallons) for the first 300 gallons, and $3.50 per 150 gallons ($23.33 per 1000 gallons) for dispensing of 301 gallons and above; and instituting a new fee for multiple dispensing event violations of $25 per violation.

Issue: Cost of service for delivery of water for the customers of this area has been calculated to cost $2.66 per 150 gallons ($18.17 / 1000 gallons). Currently the County charges customers a fee of $0.50 per 150 gallons ($3.33 / 1000 gallons). This constitutes only a 19% recovery of revenue for cost of service.

Solution: With the completion of the newly installed dispensing system at Colorado Acres we can increase rates to effectively recover more of the cost of service in domestic water use, while incorporating the majority of the rate increase to heavy dispensers of water.

Result: With additional revenue from these rates we can allocate funding to evaluation the plants well and treatment units.

Background:

With the completion of the newly coin less operating dispensing station we can modify our rates to more effectively charge customers what is closer to our cost of service.
