Over the past several months, FCS Group has performed a detailed evaluation of the City's domestic
water operating and capital fund needs for FY 2025—2029. The Water Utility Rate Study presented to
City Council on October 22, 2024 described the methodology behind the evaluation and recommended
the proposed rates to support the recovery of the actual costs of providing services, including those
identified in the proposed 2025-2026 budget. The study evaluated the water fund's on-going operating
and maintenance costs, planned capital expenditures, debt service, and maintaining an adequate
reserve balance for unexpected emergency expenditures. The study evaluated and recommended
updated rates and fees for the ready-to-service charge, unit of consumption charge, domestic and
distribution connections charges, and water service installation fees.
Updates to the Master Fee Schedule reflect the following:
• Water Service Installation 2025-2029 incremental fee increase for 3/4" and 1" services.
• Domestic and Distribution Connection charge increase for 3/4" - 4" metered services.
• Ready-To-Serve Charge for 3/4" - 12" services and Unit of Consumption increase:
O 6.5% annual increases from 2025-2027
O 4.5% annual increases for 2028 and 2029
