Utility Overview
• Existing utility connections
› Water Service – 4,300 accounts
› Sewer Service – 4,140 accounts
› Stormwater Service – 9,200 bill units
• City purchases wholesale water/wastewater from Ft. Lauderdale
• Existing utility rates produce annual revenues of approximately $4.4M for
water, $4.2M for wastewater, and $540k for stormwater
• Existing wastewater debt service maturing in FY 2026 (no other debt)
• Funding required for over $43M of capital improvements for water and
wastewater over next 10-years (Master Plan)
• Funding required for $19.5M of capital improvements for stormwater over
next 10-years (Master Plan)

Wholesale Rate Pass-Through
• Since the City purchases wholesale treatment services from Ft.
Lauderdale a wholesale rate pass through methodology can be
implemented
› Gives the City the ability to increase rates automatically when wholesale
rates are increased
› Common approach for municipalities that purchase wholesale water and
wastewater – for example Oakland Park has an automatic pass-through
› City may not have to go through full Commission adoption process in
subsequent years to increase rates from the wholesale pass-through

Alternatives
• Funding for the stormwater improvements requires significant rate
adjustments, which would increase the monthly rate for a Single Family
customer to around $20/month
› This assumes debt funding is used to minimize the rate impacts
› This also assumes the stormwater revenues fully fund the improvements
with no outside funding
› If the City can spread out the execution of the projects over a longer period
of time, the rates can be phased up the to the $20 level over a longer period
of time as well

Stormwater – Final Thoughts
• City is considering moving from monthly utility bill to non-ad valorem
assessments on property tax bill
› Consider Florida Statutes and language towards direct benefits to properties
• As City’s stormwater fees increase there is likely to be a higher level of
scrutiny. City may want to review:
› 3,460 square feet impervious area basis for commercial properties
› Fee application methodology for multi-family accounts
› Establishment of a stormwater mitigation credit policy

Rate Structure Discussion and Approach
• Unify base charges between classes
• Unify base charges for all single family connections
• Re-align usage tiers to promote conservation
• Adjust larger meter size factors to align with industry standards
• Rate adjustments identified are more for clean up and consistency

Rate Structure Option 1 Introduction
• Residential usage charges existing blocks from (0 – 15k, 15k – 30k, above 30k)
› Not very effective in promoting conservation (most bills at 5k gallons or less)
• Proposed usage charge blocks from (0 – 4k, 4k – 8k, 8k – 12k, above 12k)
› First block provides incentive for low users to sustain usage levels
› Rates designed to promote conservation
• Slight decrease on water base charges (commercial to AWWA factors)
• Slight increase on wastewater base charges (commercial to AWWA factors)
• Slight decrease on wastewater usage charges

Final Thoughts
• City’s water and wastewater utility is in a very strong financial position
› Relatively minor rate adjustments required to complete significant level of
capital improvements
› Rate alternatives identified represent clean up and simplification along with
promoting conservation
• City’s stormwater utility requires significant improvements, which are
placing upward pressure on the rate level
