Water Rates Adjustments Phase 2

Water Rates Adjustments Phase 2 Presented by Shana E. Epstein Director of Public Works, City of Beverly Hills

Background Phase 1-Effective January 18, 2018 5-year revenue requirement 3% annual increase through 2022 Authorization of pass-through expenses Phase 2- Effective March 8, 2019 (If Approved) Cost of Service Water reliability charge Revenue stabilization rates schedule 2

What Do Rates Pay for? Water Sources: Imported-Metropolitan Water District (MWD), Local (Wells) Existing System 170 Miles of Water Mains 2,500 hydrants 11,000 Meters and Service connections 9 Reservoirs, 40 Million Gallons storage 6 Wells Water Treatment Plant Planned Enhancements Additional groundwater development New wells Enhanced treatment facility Transmission main construction 3

What is an Enterprise Fund? Water Operations and Capital are Self- Funded through service charges (Water Bills) Separate and Distinct from City s General Fund Revenues generated by fees and charges are devoted to funding all operations of the enterprise activity 4

Cost-of-Service Allocations 3% overall increase in revenue (previously approved by Council) Impacts customer classes differently Cost-of-service analysis realigns the revenue requirement among customer classes in proportion to their service requirements 5

Rate Structure Water Bill, $ = Service Charge + Quantity Charge Service Charge: fixed bimonthly fee, based on the size of your water meter and covers the production of water, maintenance of facilities (reservoir, production wells, pipelines), electrical costs for pumping water, and other fixed operating costs. Quantity Charge: Water Consumption Charge covers the actual cost of water consumed. The charge varies with increased usage per unit of water used; One unit =100 Cubic Feet = 748 gallons 6

Fixed Service Charge Structure Water Service Charges Maintain 12% proportion of total revenues Adjustment based on cost allocations Fire Protection Service Charges Maintain 3% proportion of total revenues Inside and Outside City customers pay same service charges going forward Inside increases and Outside decreases 7

Quantity Charge Structures Single-Family Residential Customers Maintain four tiers Adjust tier breakpoints to reflect current demand Quantity Charges remain consistent with industry practices in California Multi-Family Residential Customers Consolidate four tiers to two tiers Adjust single breakpoint to reflect current demand Quantity Charges remain consistent with industry practices in California Commercial Customers Maintain current uniform rate to account for diverse customer class 9

Quantity Charge Structures Irrigation rates Create single-family, multi-family, commercial irrigation classes for new irrigation customers Charge corresponding rate by class Evaluate irrigation rates as class size grows Better control of irrigation water use during shortages 10

Quantity Charge Adjustments Lease revenue credit- General Fund subsidizes leases of water enterprise properties at market rates Formerly credit applied only to Inside City Customer Proposed now: $0.72 per HCF credit to Inside and Outside City quantity charge rates Included in proposed rate calculations 11

Quantity Charge Adjustments General Fund reimbursement Public Safety, Government Facility Capital Costs, and Right-of-Way maintenance costs Costs are already paid by Inside City customers through their taxes Outside City customers have not paid property taxes to the Beverly Hills General Fund to cover their share $0.82 per HCF added to Outside City quantity charge rates (subject to evaluation during future rates studies) 12
