Section 6. Section 7.58.060 of the City of Yakima Municipal Code is hereby
amended to read as follows:
"7.58.060 Base trunk/interceptors charge.
A. The base trunks/interceptors charge includes both an equitable share of the cost of
the existing trunks/interceptors ("historic cost") and a reasonable estimate of the actual
cost of connection to the trunks/interceptors (including costs associated with expanding
the trunks/interceptors system) ("actual cost"). This charge is the sum of two separate
calculations. The first calculation is a function of the size of the lot to be connected. The
"parcel size" portion of the base trunks/interceptors charge shall be determined by
multiplying the lot area (measured in square feet (sf)) by the rate given in Table A-
(Trunk/parcel size) for the zone in which the lot is located. The second calculation is a
function of the flow from each connection. The "flow" portion of the base
trunks/interceptors charge shall be determined by multiplying the customer's authorized
flow (measured in gallons per day (gpd)) by the rate given in Table B-(Trunk/flow) for the
zone in which the lot is located.
2007 WCC
Page 8 of
B. The wastewater manager may waive all or a portion of the actual cost element of the
base trunks/interceptors charge if the lot owner or developer extends a trunk/interceptor
from the existing trunk/interceptor through or along the entire length of the lot as required
by the sewer comprehensive planning analysis for the area.

Section 7. Section 7.58.070 of the City of Yakima Municipal Code is hereby
amended to read as follows:
"7.58.070 Base collection pipes charge.
A. The base collection pipes charge includes both an equitable share of the cost of the
existing collection pipes ("historic cost") and a reasonable estimate of the actual cost of
connection to the collection pipes (including costs associated with expanding the
collection pipes system) ("actual cost"). This charge is the sum of two separate
calculations. The first calculation is a function of the size of the lot to be connected. The
"parcel size" portion of the collection pipe charge shall be determined by multiplying the
lot area (measured in square feet (sf)) by the rate given in Table C-(Collection/parcel
size) for the zone in which the lot is located. The second calculation is a function of the
flow from each connection. The "flow" portion of the base collection pipe charge shall be
determined by multiplying the customer's authorized flow (measured in gallons per day
(gpd)) by the rate given in Table D-(Collection/flow) for the zone in which the lot is
located.
B. The wastewater manager may waive all or a portion of the actual cost element of the
base collection pipes charge if: (a) the lot is served by a collection pipe system installed
and paid for by the developer of the lot; (b) the lot owner extends a collection pipe from
the existing collection pipe system through or along the entire length of the lot as
2007 WCC
Page 10 of
required by the sewer comprehensive planning analysis for the area; (c) the lot is
connected to a collection pipe system originally financed by local improvement district
assessments to which contribution was made for the lot: or (d) within Zone 1A, or1 B, the
lot is served by an existing collection pipe system installed by the City or other
governmental agency and is within City of Yakima census tract: 01, 02, 03, 05, 06, 07,
12, 13, 14, 15, 16 or 17.
C. Within Zone 1A. or 1E, the wastewater manager may waive fifty percent (50%) of the
actual cost element of the base collection pipes charge if the lot is served by a collection
pipe system installed and paid for by a developer other than the developer of the lot.

initial Discharge Authorization, shall be paid in full at or before the time a side sewer
permit is obtained. Any fees due from recalculation of charges (7.58.090) shall be paid
within thirty (30) days of receiving notice. Unpaid charges shall constitute a lien against
the connected property. Such lien shall be prior to all liens and encumbrances filed
subsequent to its filing with the county auditor, except the lien of general taxes and local
improvement assessments whether levied prior or subsequent thereto.
Section 10. Section 7.58.085 of the City of Yakima Municipal Code reads as follows:
7.58.085 Alternative, periodic payment method.
A. At any time prior to connection of a facility to the wastewater system, the owner of
that facility may apply to the code administration and planning division for periodic
payment of the applicable connection charge, provided that: (1) the facility owner is a
low- or moderate -income facility owner; (2) the facility is the facility owner's primary and
legal residence; (3) a certificate of occupancy has been issued for the facility and that
certificate remains valid; (4) the facility is connected to a private septic system or some
system of sewerage other than the wastewater system; and (5) the connection charge
applicable to the facility is equal to or greater than one thousand ($1,000) dollars. This
periodic payment method shall be an alternative to payment of the full connection charge
prior to connection pursuant to YMC 7.58.080(A).
B. To apply for the periodic payment method provided by this section, the facility owner
must execute a request form to be provided by the code administration and planning
division. The request form shall be in the form of a contract between the facility owner
and the city, and the general form of the request form shall be approved by the city
attorney and city manager.
C. At the time of delivery to the facility owner, the request form shall state the amount of
the applicable connection charge and the number and amount of quarterly payments.
The code administration and planning division shall determine the amount of the
connection charge by reference to Sections 7.58.040 through 7.58.090. The code
administration and planning division shall also calculate a substantially equal, quarterly
payment amount sufficient to pay the entire principal amount of the connection charge,
together with interest thereon at an annual interest rate equal to the prime rate as quoted
2007 WCC
Page 13 of
in the Wall Street Journal on the last business day of the month preceding preparation
and delivery of the request form to the facility owner, within three years of the date of
connection if the applicable connection charge is less than or equal to five thousand
($5,000) dollars, or within five (5) years of the date of connection if the applicable
connection charge is more than five thousand ($5,000) dollars. The first quarterly
payment shall be due three (3) months after the date of connection.
D. The facility owner shall provide the remaining information required by the request
form and execute the request form.
E. The city shall not accept or execute the original or any updated request form unless:
(1) the facility owner qualifies as a low- or moderate -income facility owner; (2) the form is
first executed by the facility owner; (3) the applicable connection charge has not
changed from that stated on the request form; (4) the prime rate as quoted in the Wall
Street Journal on the last business day of the month preceding presentation of the
executed Request Form by the facility owner has not changed; and (5) the facility owner
has paid a one hundred ($100) dollar administrative fee for processing the request form
and administering the installment payment program.
F. If either the applicable connection charge or the prime rate as quoted in the Wall
Street Journal on the last business day of the month preceding presentation of the
executed request form by the facility owner has changed, the city Code Administration
and Planning Manager shall revise the terms and quarterly payment amount to reflect
such changes, and shall return an updated request form to the facility owner, who may
execute the updated request form and return it to the city Code Administration and
Planning Manager for acceptance and execution by the city.
G. Once the city has executed the request form, the connection charge, interest rate,
and periodic payments applicable to the subject property shall not be changed from that
amount stated in the request form for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of final
execution by the city. In the event that the facility owner fails to complete the connection
within ninety (90) days from the date of final execution by the city, the facility owner must
request, complete, and submit a new request form, which shall be subject to the
requirements of this section.
H. Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit the city's authority to collect any
delinquent connection charge payment or payments, including the city's authority to
impose a lien or shut off water service as provided in Chapter 35.67 RCW. For purposes
of a lien imposed pursuant to Chapter 35.67 RCW, any delinquency of four quarterly
payments shall constitute a delinquency of one year's charges subject to a sewerage
lien and that lien shall be effective without the necessity of any writing or recording of the
lien.
Section 11. Section 7.58.090 of the City of Yakima Municipal Code reads as follows:
7.58.090 Recalculation of charges.

amount of the connection charge is subject to recalculation and increase according to
Sections 7.58.040 through 7.58.075. Credit shall be allowed for the previously
established flow, provided that, in no case shall the credit exceed the cost of the charge.
Any such increase shall be paid in the time and manner specified by Section 7.58.080.
A parcel for which the Capital Cost Recovery Charge (CCRC) has been paid or that has
participated in an LID but has not yet connected to the wastewater system shall be
credited with the current value of a Single Dwelling Unit (SDU) connection.
2007 WCC
12/6107121647
Page 14 of
B. Additional Subdivision of Lots. At such time that any existing lot connected to the
wastewater system is subdivided, a wastewater connection charge shall be assessed
against each new lot formed. No additional charge shall be imposed upon the lot where
the facilities that were originally connected are located. unless an increase in flow or
intensity of use is involved. Any additional charges due as a result of subdivision shall be
determined as set forth in subsection A of this section and shall be paid in the time and
manner specified in Section 7.58.080.
C. Altered Discharge. In the event discharge from any Non-domestic facility, lot, tract or
parcel is altered, or the use thereof is changed or intensified then the amount of the
applicable wastewater connection charge is subject to recalculation according to
Sections 7.58.040 through 7.58.075. Credit shall be allowed for the facility's existing
Authorized or Permitted Discharge, provided that in no case shall the credit exceed the
cost of the recalculated charge. Any such increase shall be paid in the time and manner
specified by Section 7.58.080.B. As an additional and concurrent method of collection of
any such delinquent wastewater connection charges, the customer service manager
may suspend the water service or supply to the premises under the same authority
provided in Section 7.60.100.
D. Relocation of Public Facility. In the event that an existing, governmentally -owned,
public facility, as defined by RCW 36.70A.030, is moved from one lot to another adjacent
or nearby lot, the wastewater manager may in his discretion provide a credit against the
wastewater connection charge due at the new lot as follows.
1. A determination of the flow and intensity of wastewater historically used prior
to January 2005, or for which a connection charge has already been paid at the
current location of the facility.
2. A determination the flow and intensity of wastewater that is expected to
remain being discharged at current location of the facility after the facility has
been moved to the new lot.
3. A determination the flow and intensity of wastewater that is expected to be
discharged at the new location of the facility.
4. The difference between #1 and #2 determines what flow/loading may be
available for transfer to the new lot.
5. The Connection charge shall be determined by utilizing the difference
between the flow/loading for the new lot as found by #3 and that transferred from
the current lot as found by #4.
The division manager may require, as a condition precedent to the issuance of
any credit, that the Discharger and the owners of the current lot and the new lot
execute, acknowledge and record, a Notice of Wastewater Connection Fees
specifying the terms and conditions upon which additional charges may be due."
Section 12. Section 7.58.095 of the City of Yakima Municipal Code reads as follows:
7.58.095 Reimbursable Agreements.

2007 WCC
Page 15 of
collection and/or trunks/interceptors infrastructure that both conforms to the Wastewater
Comprehensive Plan and also provides collection and/or trunks/interceptor facilities that
are in excess of the facilities required to serve the owner's facilities. Reimbursable
agreements shall provide for payment to the owner of a fair pro rata share of the cost of
facilities that are in excess of the facilities needed to serve the owner's facilities. Any
such payment will be derived from connection fees paid by any owner of real estate who
did not contribute to the initial owner's original cost of such wastewater facilities but who
subsequently taps into or uses such facilities. The terms and conditions of any proposed
reimbursable agreement must be established prior to the construction of a project and
are subject to review and approval by the City Council. The duration of a reimbursable
agreement shall not exceed fifteen (15) years.
Section 13. Section 7.58.100 of the City of Yakima Municipal Code reads as follows:

TRANSMITTAL MEMO
FOR October 30, 2007
COUNCIL STUDY SESSION
ITEM TITLE: Proposed Revisions to the Wastewater Connection Charge (WCC) Study
and Subsequent Revisions to Wastewater Connection Rates and
Charges.
SUBMITTED BY: Dick Zais, City Manager
Dave Zabell, ACM
Doug Mayo, Wastewater Division Manager
CONTACT PERSON/TELEPHONE: Doug Mayo/575-6077
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
Under current City policy, costs for capital improvements that are driven by regulations and
renewal/safety are included in the monthly service charges. Costs caused by growth are
allocated to the new customers through the Wastewater Connection Charge (WCC).
The WCC serves two important functions within the Wastewater revenue stream.
1) The equitable share of existing facilities ("Historic Cost") element of this charge is the
method through which the City is partially reimbursed for prior investments made to
construct existing wastewater facilities to be used by new customers.
2) The actual (including future) connection costs element of this charge will be the method
through which the City generates the revenue necessary to construct new wastewater
facilities required to accommodate the additional waste stream from new customers.
A report entitled 1997 Wastewater Connection Charge Study dated May 20, 1997, was
adopted by resolution R-97-83. Ordinance 97-38 was enacted setting related WCC rates and
policies. Resolution 2004-181 adopted a major update, done in 2004. Ordinance 2004-69
was enacted setting related WCC rates and policies. In May of 2005, Council reconsidered a
select few issues and passed Ordinance 2005-22 that supplemented and clarified the
connection rates and charges.
Ordinance 2004-69 set rates for a three-year period. Rates were set with a 3% annual
escalator, the last adjustment being January 2007. Review of the 2004 Study and current
WCC 2007 Update
rate structure has identified the following reasons why an updated Study is necessary and
justified:
1) Since the 2004 Study, construction costs have escalated beyond what was
anticipated;
2) This report proposes the creation of a second Zone within the City. Zone 1A being
that area of the City lying east of 40th Avenue and Zone 1B being west of 40th Avenue.
Recent annexations shifted the burden of considerable infrastructure (interceptors),
from Outside City (Zone 2) to Inside City (Zone 1) future customers. This proposal will
lift the burden for this infrastructure from those east of 40th, which lowers their rates.
However, it concentrates this burden on the area west of 40th, effectively increasing
their rates.
In summary, items reviewed which affected revisions in the attached report and rate
ordinance included:
1) reviewed projection of anticipated facility loading based upon 2004 Wastewater Facility
Plan;
2) updated projection of future connected area based upon adopted City Comprehensive
Plan;
3) updated City's Equity portion of historic Cost
4) reviewed capacity of existing treatment facility per 2004 Wastewater Facility Plan;
5) updated future "Treatment" expense due to NPDES mandates and 2004 Wastewater
Facility Plan requirements;
6) re -allocation between zones of future and existing trunks due to most recent annexations;
7) update of connected acreage per current information;
8) updated appropriate cost for units of hydraulic, biochemical oxygen demand and total
suspended solids.
9) reviewed waivers to include only "Future" element of applicable charge.
This proposal continues Council policy to allow a waiver of the "Future" element of
applicable charges under certain circumstance; usually the construction of infrastructure.
This proposal continues Council policy that proposed rates will look both at the actual
amount of flow from each account and at the strength of this discharge. Thereby, connection
charges will more fairly reflect the actual impact on the treatment system.
This proposal continues Council policy that Wastewater Reimbursable Agreements be limited
to projects that, as determined by the Wastewater Manager, build infrastructure that conforms
to the Wastewater Comprehensive Plan. The terms and conditions for all Reimbursable
Agreements must be established prior to the construction of a project.
WCC 2007 Update
ATTACHMENT 1 compares the existing WCC and the proposed WCC for two sized parcels
(8,000sf and 12,000sf) in each Zone. The proposed increase on any individual customer
would depend on several variables including the size of their parcel and any waivers. This
sheet illustrates the impact of concentrating the burden of the new City infrastructure on
Zone 1B.
The estimated rate adjustment a Single Dwelling Unit (SDU) within each Zone is as follows:
Zone 1A - 22%
Zone 1B 11%
Zone 2 5%
Zone 3 5%
At Council's direction, staff will prepare legislation to enact the herein described
adjustments in two phases. Phase 1 to be in effect in early 2008 will adjust each Zone to
one-half the change indicated. Phase 2 in January. of 2009 will complete the adjustment. In
January of 2010 rates will be increased an additional 3%for escalation of construction
costs.
REQUESTED ACTION:
Staff respectfully requests City Council review and analyze this study, which will be submitted
as a policy issue with the 2008 budget for action during the budget process. A Public
Hearing on this issue will be held on November 20, with Council Action scheduled for early
December. In the interim, staff will schedule meetings with council committees and with
various community groups to discuss the Study's recommendations.

8) updated appropriate cost for units of hydraulic, biochemical oxygen demand and total
suspended solids.
9) reviewed waivers to include only "Future" element of applicable charge.
This proposal continues Council policy to allow a waiver of the "Future" element of
applicable charges under certain circumstance; usually the construction of infrastructure.
This proposal continues Council policy that proposed rates will look both at the actual
amount of flow from each account and at the strength of this discharge. Thereby, connection
charges will more fairly reflect the actual impact on the treatment system.
This proposal continues Council policy that Wastewater Reimbursable Agreements be limited
to projects that, as determined by the Wastewater Manager, build infrastructure that conforms
to the Wastewater Comprehensive Plan. The terms and conditions for all Reimbursable
Agreements must be established prior to the construction of a project.
WCC 2007 Update
ATTACHMENT 1 compares the existing WCC and the proposed WCC for two sized parcels
(8,000sf and 12,000sf) in each Zone. The proposed increase on any individual customer
would depend on several variables including the size of their parcel and any waivers. This
sheet illustrates the impact of concentrating the burden of the new City infrastructure on
Zone 1B.
The estimated rate adjustment a Single Dwelling Unit (SDU) within each Zone is as follows:
Zone 1A - 22%
Zone 1B 11%
Zone 2 5%
Zone 3 5%
At Council's direction, staff will prepare legislation to enact the herein described
adjustments in two phases. Phase 1 to be in effect in early 2008 will adjust each Zone to
one-half the change indicated. Phase 2 in January of 2009 will complete the adjustment. In
January of 2010 rates will be increased an additional 3% for escalation of construction
costs.
REQUESTED ACTION:
Staff respectfully requests City Council review and analyze this study, which will be submitted
as a policy issue with the 2008 budget for action during the budget process. A Public
Hearing on this issue will be held on November 20, with Council Action scheduled for early
December. In the interim, staff will schedule meetings with council committees and with
various community groups to discuss the Study's recommendations.

PROPOSED WASTEWATER CONNECTION CHARGE
SECTION 1
Introduction:
A report entitled 1997 Wastewater Connection Charge Study proposed that the then
existing Capital Cost Recovery Charge (CCRC) and Sewer Connection Charge (SCC)
be updated and combined into a single Wastewater Connection Charge (WCC). The
1997 Study was adopted by resolution R-97-83. Ordinance 97-38 was enacted setting
related WCC rates and policies.
On November 11, 2004, a 2004 Study and Updated Rate Structure was enacted by
Ordinance 2004-69. This study identified three reasons why an updated Study was
necessary and justified: 1) The adopted 2004 Wastewater Facility Plan (Plan) provided
updated information on both anticipated customer growth and growth related system
expenses; 2) A recent ruling of the State Supreme Court had assisted clarifying the
future of the growth of Wastewater service within the Yakima Urban Growth Area; and 3)
the existing rate structure did not adequately assess the wastewater system's economic
impact from non-residential domestic or non-domestic customers in relation to the
amount or strength of the wastewater they discharge.
Due to concern of some of the elements of the 2004-69 ordinance, Council revised some
of the WCC policies and rates on May 17, 2005, by ordinance 2005-22. At the same
time, in order to maintain the Wastewater Division's revenue, Council raised general
wastewater rates to all City retail customers by 2.5%.
Staff believes it is timely to again review policies, language, and rates because, since
the previous study; 1) the City has enjoyed significant annexation of land; 2) construction
costs have experienced significant inflation; 3) some clarification would be helpful on
how certain policies are to be applied.
The Council adopted mandated 2004 Wastewater Facility Plan reflects the capital and
operations and maintenance requirements of the City's wastewater system to serve the
area to be served by the City, including anticipated growth, for the next 20 years.
The Plan further allocates anticipated capital expenses into categories driven by
regulations, renewal/safety, or growth. The growth element was further divided by the
growth anticipated within the Yakima Urban Area, as established in 1976, and growth
anticipated outside of this boundary but inside the Yakima Urban Reserve. However, it
should be noted that neither the development of a connection charge within this report
nor any other aspect of this report constitutes a representation that the City will allow
connections from any area. Council policies outside the scope of this report govem
authorization to connect.
Under current City policy, those costs for capital improvements that are driven by
regulations and renewal/safety are included in the monthly service charges. Costs
caused by growth are allocated to the new customers through the Wastewater
Connection Charge.
WCC 2007 Update
Section 1 Page 1
10/26/07
The Wastewater Connection Charge serves two important functions within the
Wastewater revenue stream.
1) The equitable share of existing facilities ("Historic Cost") element of this charge is the
method through which the City is partially reimbursed for prior investments made to
construct existing wastewater facilities to be used by new customers.
2) The actual (including future) connection costs ("actual cost") element of this charge
will be the method through which the City generates the revenue necessary to construct
new wastewater facilities required to accommodate the additional waste stream from
new customers.
Revenues collected from these charges will reduce the amount of monthly service
charge transfers required from the Wastewater Operating Fund to the Capital Funds
thereby reducing the levels of future Revenue Bonds. In turn, this will reduce future rate
increases to retail customers. Conversely connection rates set such that they do not
recover the full cost of growth shift some of this burden to the existing ratepayers.
Payment of capital financing costs or depreciation expense will still be required from all
retail ratepayers to finance facility rehabilitation, and upgrades and new technology
required by new regulations. This capital expense, together with Operations and
Maintenance expenses, remain an element of monthly service charges.
Purpose of this Study:
The purpose of this report is to determine appropriate connection charges for each
customer class (summarized in Table "A" below) through a two-step analysis:
First it will:
• Determine the equitable level of historic costs to be assigned to new connectors to
the wastewater system.
• Using the information provided by the 2004 Wastewater Facility Plan, as adjusted for
inflation, determine the necessary charge to be imposed upon new residential
connectors to the wastewater system to finance the actual connection cost and
future expansions to the facilities required to accommodate their waste stream.
Then it will:
• Further refine the charge for the City's two classes of non-residential discharge
customers, which are (1) non-residential customers that discharge only wastewater
of domestic strength and (2) non-residential customers that discharge non-domestic
wastewater, by:
• Establish a method to equitably determine connection charges to be imposed on new
non-residential accounts that discharge only domestic wastewater based upon actual
flow generated.
WCC 2007 Update
Section 1 Page 2
10/26/07
• Establish a method to equitably determine connection charges to be imposed on new
non-residential accounts that discharge non-domestic wastewater based upon the
actual discharge of hydraulic flow, Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Total
Suspended Solids (TSS).

Methods to be utilized:
• Determine the growth, both in new residential and total wastewater loading,
predicted within the City's wastewater service area over the next twenty years.
• Determine the share of existing wastewater (treatment, trunkage, and collection)
infrastructure that will be utilized by this growth.
• Determine the historic cost adjusted by up to ten years' interest of the existing
wastewater (treatment, trunkage, and collection) infrastructure.
• Determine the equitable level of historic cost adjusted by interest of the existing
wastewater treatment facility to be assessed against wastewater constituents;
hydraulic, BOD, TSS.
Determine the actual cost to the City to make new connections, that is, the estimated
cost of future expansions of the wastewater (treatment, trunkage, and collection)
infrastructure required to accommodate growth.
Develop and propose an adjusted Wastewater Connection Charge (WCC) for
identified Zones. The WCC will be structured such that:
1) A uniform charge will apply to all similar development within each zone.
2) Upon payment, new customers will have paid an equitable share of the
historic cost of existing facilities, and the actual cost, including future costs, to
the system of accommodating growth.
Develop a method of adjusting the initial WCC charged to each non-residential
customer (both domestic and non-domestic) after a length of time in order to reflect
the actual parameters (flow, etc.) of that customer's discharge.
WCC 2007 Update
Section 1 Page 3
10/26/07
Findings of the Study:
State statutes allows the City to implement connection charges that have two
elements:
1) an "equitable share" of the "historic" cost of the existing system.
2) the "actual cost" of connecting the new customers, which may include future
costs.
Staff recommends continuing the following methodologies that are currently in effect:
Utilized the methodology established by King County whereby multi -unit housing on
a single parcel is converted to "single dwelling units" or SDUs by using the following
scale:
2-4 units per parcel = 0.8 SDUs per unit
5 or more units per parcel = 0.64 SDUs per unit.
For this recommendation, multi -unit includes trailer park spaces on single parcels.
• For non-residential users — both those that discharge only domestic wastewater and
those that discharge non-domestic wastewater. The individualized WCC should
initially be based on estimated flow and, for non-domestic dischargers, also on
estimated strength. This initial WCC may later be adjusted to reflect actual flow and
strength
• The WCC calculation was refined to consider the actual strength of wastewater for
each non-domestic discharger in order to make the rate structure more equitable.
• For purposes of non-domestic WCC calculation, unit rates be established for three
constituents (hydraulic flow, BOD, TSS). These unit rates would be utilized to
calculate WCC for each new non-domestic discharger account. Rates for other
constituents may become necessary as additional regulations are adopted.
• The initial charge for each new non-domestic account would be calculated based
upon standard flows and loadings set forth in the Criteria for Sewage Works Design
Table G2-1, or by other information. Then, at the conclusion of a certain length of
time, for example 12 months, the account would be "proven -up" based upon actual
discharge characteristics. The final charge would be calculated accordingly, and the
City would issue an invoice or refund for the difference between the initial and final
charge. Accounts would be periodically monitored, and the discharger may have the
opportunity to obtain additional discharge authority through payment of an additional
WCC if the additional authority were needed and available, but no further refunds
would be made.
Inflation of construction prices have significantly altered the future costs utilized in earlier
rate studies.
Staff and most of the development community have become accustom to the present
policies and methods. However, some clarification would be useful on some specific
issues including established Local Improvement Districts (LIDs).
WCC 2007 Update
Section 1 Page 4
10/26/07
Recommendations:
1) The existing Wastewater Connection Charge (WCC) should be adjusted for all new
accounts to reflect the findings of the 2004 Facility Plan as adiusted for inflation and
should include historical cost and future cost components for:
A) Treatment Facility
B) Trunks/Interceptors
C) Collection Piping
2) Due to the recent annexation that greatly expanded the City's area, two sub areas of
Zone 1 of should be maintained in addition to the previously established Zones:
• Zone 1-A includes all properties within the Yakima City limits east of 40th Avenue;
• Zone 1-B includes all properties within the Yakima City limits west of 40th
Avenue;
• Zone 2 includes all properties outside the Yakima City limits but within the 1976
Urban Area Boundary;
• Zone 3 includes all properties outside the Yakima City limits and outside the 1976
Urban Area Boundary but within the Urban Growth Area boundary, as amended.
As per current adopted policy, a customer's Zone is determined on the date the
customer commences payment of the Connection Fee.
3) As per current adopted policy, an initial WCC should be developed for each new
non-residential account discharging only domestic wastewater. This charge may
differ for customers within different Zones. In addition to the Trunk and Collection
components, the charge should include historical cost and future cost components
for hydraulic flow. Such initial charge should be subject to adjustment and final
payment after a "prove -up" period. Each discharger would be authorized to
discharge only up to the flow reflected by its charge. The customer may obtain
additional discharge authority through payment of additional connection fees and
complying with any applicable requirements for facility expansion.
4) As per current adopted policy, an initial WCC should be developed for each new
account discharging non-domestic wastewater. This charge may differ for customers
within different Zones. In addition to the Trunk and Collection components, their
charge would include historical cost and future cost components for the Treatment
Facility:
A) Hydraulic Flow
B) Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD)
C) Total Suspended Solids (TSS)
The initial charge would be subject to adjustment and final payment after a "prove -up"
period. Each discharger would be authorized to discharge only up to the amount of each
constituent reflected in its charge. The customer may seek additional discharge
authority through payment of additional connection fees and complying with any
applicable requirements for facility expansion.
WCC 2007 Update
Section 1 Page 5
10/26/07
5) The adjusted WCC should continue to include:
A) An equitable share of the historic cost of existing facilities adjusted by interest
charges from the date of construction until the date of the new connection,
not to exceed the greater of 2 times the original cost or 10 years.
B) The actual cost to connect a new customer, that is, the estimated cost of
system expansion required to accommodate future demand caused by the
new customer.
6) All costs and projects should be evaluated in conjunction with each update to the
Wastewater Division's Comprehensive and Facilities Plans. These updates should
be at intervals no greater than five years.
Adoption of these recommendations will:
• Enable new residential customers of the system to pay an equitable share of historic
cost and the actual (including future) costs incurred to serve them.
• Enable new non-residential customers discharging only domestic wastewater to pay
an equitable share of historic expenses and the actual (including future) costs
incurred to serve them. An initial charge will be calculated and paid, subject to
possible adjustment after a "prove -up" period.
• Enable the new non-residential customers discharging non-domestic wastewater to
pay an equitable share of historic expenses and the actual (including future) costs
incurred to serve them. An initial charge will be calculated and paid, subject to
possible adjustment after a "prove -up" period. Such charge shall take into account
the customer's effluent loadings.
• Establish an appropriate revenue source for existing Wastewater construction funds
(Fund 476 and 478). Fund 476 is used for construction of Interceptor/Trunks and
limited Collection piping; Fund 478 is used to construct treatment facility expansion
required to accommodate growth.

SECTION 2
BACKGROUND and CURRENT PRACTICE
History:
The original wastewater system for Yakima consisted of open ditches, which discharged
untreated effluent directly into the Yakima River. Initial sewer pipeline construction
began in 1890 and lasted until approximately 1912. A second flurry of pipeline
installation took place between 1922 and 1926. The extent of the first work was in the
area from Beech Street to as far north as "I" Street, and from 12th Street to as far west
as 16th Avenue. These early projects were financed by bonds and Local Improvement
Districts (L.I.D.$). Connection charges were not imposed because each property owner
participated through L.I.D. payments. Direct discharge of untreated wastewater into the
river and combination financing of collection projects continued until approximately 1936.
In 1936, the City constructed a primary treatment plant and several major trunk lines as
a W.P.A. project to serve the health, welfare, and safety needs of the community and
reduce pollution of the river.
In 1956, the water -sewer fund was established as a utility separate from other general
city revenue. Monthly sewer rates were initiated by Ordinance B-1890. Sewer rates
were calculated as a percentage of the water charge
In 1965, Yakima's wastewater treatment was further enhanced by the addition of trickling
filter biological treatment. This addition allowed the City to provide secondary treatment
to the waste stream.
By 1976, the treatment facility no longer had adequate capacity to handle the load
generated from existing City of Yakima customers and stay in compliance with newly
imposed water quality requirements mandated by the 1972 Clean Water Act. The Town
of Union Gap and Terrace Heights Sewer District were also experiencing severe
overload conditions and facility deterioration. Additionally, the developed area just west
of the City of Yakima was experiencing numerous septic system failures. Further
development in this area was also curtailed.
The 1976 Wastewater Facility Plan was prepared. It recommended combining the flows
from the urban area at a larger single regional facility and construction of several
interceptors to allow for sewering of the urbanizing areas surrounding the existing city
limits.
Following the adoption of this Plan, major capital construction projects were undertaken
which accomplished the above recommendations. Expansion, new technology, and
rehabilitation to the wastewater treatment facility were funded by a combination of
federal and state grants and loans, and local funds acquired from capital reserves and
bonds. Typically, grants and loans were not eligible to be used to finance expansions in
excess of 110% of existing demand. Therefore, much of the facility's expansion was
ineligible for government subsidization and was financed by local cash. Loans, bonds,
and cash reserves are funded through City retail customer rates or other charges.
In the years 1976 through 1989, over $30.3 million was invested in the Wastewater
Treatment Facility. Of this, $6.4 million was local cash funded through City retail
customer rates and charges. Since 1990, an additional $50 million has been invested in
WCC 2007 Update
Section 2 Page 1
10/26/07
the Treatment Facility. Grants amounted to a scarce $6.6 million, leaving $33.4 million
local cash funded through City retail customer rates and charges. Of the $39.8 million
local cash, over $23 million has been for expansion to accommodate new customers.
Similarly, the collection system was greatly expanded during this period. Over $15
million of local cash has been invested by the existing ratepayers for the benefit of new
customers.
Through Wastewater connection charges, the new customers will have the opportunity
to reimburse the existing ratepayer for the investments made for their benefit, this will be
a long 20-50 year process.
Capital Cost Recovery Charge (CCRC):
In an effort to partially reimburse the City, which contributed cash reserves above what
grants would provide, and whose retail customers would be paying the annual loan and
bond debt payments, the City implemented a Capital Cost Recovery Charge (CCRC), in
1979, by Ordinance 2359.
Per former Chapter 7.58 of the Yakima Municipal Code, the Capital Cost Recovery
Charge (CCRC) was imposed on new retail sewer connections "where such real
property so connected or served is situated in, or partially in, any of the geographical
areas depicted as the West Valley Area', 'Fruitvale Area', 'Broadway Area', or 'Fairview -
Sumac Area' on the map... dated December 18, 1979." The purpose of this charge was
to partially reimburse the owner of the Wastewater System (the City of Yakima) for the
investment it had made for the major infrastructure (Treatment Facility and
Trunks/Interceptors) being used by the new customer.
A CCRC was not assessed to new customers within the City because their allocation of
capital expenses was to be included within their (bi)-monthly service rates.
Sewer Connection Charges (SCC):
Once a collection pipe (<12") was in place, those properties that participated in the cost
of the installation were permitted to connect without further payment to the City except
for the cost of a plumbing permit, CCRC if applicable, and their cost to have a contractor
make the service connection. However, properties that fronted on existing sewer
pipelines and whose owners did not participate in the cost to construct the pipe were
obligated to pay a sewer connection charge (SCC) before they were allowed to connect.
SCCs were originally established in 1956 by Ordinance B-1922. The SCCs and
methods of determining charges were substantially modified in 1958 by Ordinance B-
2192.
Once established in Chapter 7.56.020 of the Yakima Municipal Code, the SCC was
imposed on the owner of any lot, tract, or parcel of property that was to be connected to
an existing city sanitary sewer line when the owner of said property had not paid an
equitable share of the cost of the line to which the connection was to be made. The
purpose of the SCC was to require the new customer to contribute to the investment the
City had made for the collection infrastructure being used by the new customer. This
contribution helped maintain lower rates for the existing customer, who's past payments
for service had funded the City's investment in facilities used by new customers
WCC 2007 Update
Section 2 Page 2
10/26/07
For many years prior to 1997, chapter 7.56.030.B of the Yakima Municipal Code covered
the calculation of this charge when the connection was to an existing line that had been
financed by means other than a local improvement district. The calculation required the
establishment of an appropriate cost for the year the line was installed, and then added
compound annual interest to the date of the new connection. The most common method
was based on "the Average L.I.D. cost for the year in which the particular pipeline was
installed", or some other representative time as close to that as possible. An
unconnected property that had frontage on two sewers installed at different times could
likely be charged differently for connections to each pipe. Methods for calculating fees
varied from one project to another. They utilized costs per front foot, square foot, flat fee
or combinations. This led to unavoidable SCC inconsistencies within similar locations
CURRENT PRACTICE:
As stated in the Introduction (section 1), in 1997, the then -existing Capital Cost
Recovery Charge (CCRC) and Sewer Connection Charge (SCC) were eliminated.
Instead, the costs to be recovered were combined into a single Wastewater Connection
Charge (WCC).
Wastewater Collection System:
Three classifications of pipes are generally recognized for use in wastewater collection.
These classifications are generally based on the pipe's diameter and purpose:
Wastewater:
Classification . Diameter
Interceptors greater than (>)18"
Trunks 12" - 18"
Collection pipes less than (<) 12"
The collection pipes are installed for collection of wastewater from adjacent properties'
service connections (building sewers). Trunks receive the discharge from groups of
collection pipes for transmission to Interceptors. Interceptors then transport the
wastewater to the treatment facility. For purposes of this report and calculation of
WCCs, we use only two classifications, Trunk/Interceptors (12" and larger) and
Collection pipes (<12").
Trunk/Interceptors:
Historically, the City has utilized and still uses four different methods to finance the
construction of Trunk/Interceptors.
Wholly City Financed:
The first method consists of the project being financed and constructed solely by the
City. State and Federal grants or loans are secured when available. Under this method,
existing City customers carry the financial obligation of construction costs, but with the
expectation of reimbursement through future contributions from new connectors.
City Participation with Oversize:
Under the second method, the City provides partial funding for the installation of
trunk/interceptors when they were installed by private developers. An arrangement can
be made under which the City pays the cost of the incremental difference in diameter
between what was required to serve the development and the size of trunk pipe
necessary to comply with the future needs identified in the comprehensive sewer plan
WCC 2007 Update
Section 2 Page 3
10/26/07
for the specific area. Typically the financing and construction has been handled by the
private developer. Under this method, existing City customers carry only the financial
obligation of the incremental cost to "oversize" the sewer pipe. A developer participating
in this program could be required to address regulations, time concerns, and expenses
inherent to public works projects.
Developer Extensions:
Under this method, the owner of a new development or plat that is either adjacent to the
route of a trunk/interceptor line, or is situated such that a new trunk/interceptor line, as
determined by the Wastewater Manager conforms to the Wastewater comprehensive
plan, must be extended to serve said development, must design and construct the new
portion of the trunk/interceptor system to provide service. The extension of the
trunk/interceptor line to and beyond their development may then be considered as
payment in lieu of the Future Trunkage Element of the WCC for that development. The
contribution of easement by parcels outside the development may also be considered as
(partial) payment in lieu of the Future Trunkage Element of the WCC for those parcels.
Reimbursable Agreements:
The fourth method is a Reimbursable Agreement. This is a contract between a private
developer and the City. Under such a contract, the developer wholly finances the initial
construction. The City agrees to transfer to the developer a pre -determined pro -rata
amount when certain subsequent connections are made to the pipe installed by the
developer. This program has primarily been used for collection class pipes (<12").
However, it may also be used for trunk/interceptor extensions (12"+). The agreement
may be set for a maximum term of 15 years per State law. The agreement also sets out
the terms and charges that the benefited properties (new connectors) must satisfy
before they connect. The City is responsible for collecting the charge from new
customers who benefit, and passing it to the party named in the Reimbursable
Agreement. Currently, several such agreements are in effect throughout the service
area. After the set period, the City retains all connection fees paid by subsequent
connectors.
To avoid difficulties and misunderstandings with developers, per the 2004 report, the
City adopt a policy limiting Wastewater Reimbursable Agreements to projects that, as
determined by the Wastewater Manager, build infrastructure that conforms to the
Wastewater Comprehensive Plan. This policy also stipulates that only the cost of
infrastructure that is in excess of that required for the development be eligible for
consideration under a Reimbursable Agreement. Limiting potential reimbursement to the
cost of excess capacity is reasonable because the developer remains responsible for
costs that must be incurred in order for the development to obtain sewer service, but the
developer has the potential to be reimbursed for installing capacity that is greater that
what was required for that particular development. The adopted policy also states that
terms and conditions for all future Reimbursable Agreements shall be established prior
to the construction of a project.
Collection Pipes:
The City does not typically install or fund the design and installation of sanitary sewer
collection pipes (<12"), but relies on the developers or users to pay these costs. The
most common methods of funding the installation of collection pipes are: a) in
conjunction with a new subdivision or other new development extension; b) by private
WCC 2007 Update
Section 2 Page 4
10/26/07
funding due to the need for sewer service for an existing building or other development;
or c) by Local Improvement District (L.I.D.).
Developer Extensions:
The owner of each new development or plat that is required or desires to connect to
sewer must design and construct the new portion of the collection system to provide
service within and adjacent to the development ("to and through"). The extension(s) of
the sewer such that service may be extended to all adjacent properties may then be
considered as payment in lieu of the Future Collection Element of the WCC. If
circumstances allow that no additional service is required to adjacent properties,
extension may not be required to enjoy a partial waiver of the Future Collection Element
of the WCC. Adjacent properties to the development that actively participate (i.e. donate
easement) in the construction of the sewer infrastructure may also enjoy a partial waiver
of the Future Collection Element of the WCC.
Reimbursable Agreements:
As described above, a Reimbursable Agreement is a contract between a private
landowner or developer and the City Under this contract, the developer finances the
project. The City agrees to transfer to the developer a pre -determined pro -rata value
from subsequent connectors to a pipe installed by the developer. After the contractual
time period, the City retains all fees paid by subsequent connectors.
To avoid difficulties and misunderstandings with developers, per the 2004 report, the
City adopt a policy limiting Wastewater Reimbursable Agreements to projects that, as
determined by the Wastewater Manager, build infrastructure that conforms to the
Wastewater Comprehensive Plan. This policy also stipulates that only the cost of
infrastructure that is in excess of that required for the development be eligible for
consideration under a Reimbursable Agreement. Limiting potential reimbursement to the
cost of excess capacity is reasonable because the developer remains responsible for
costs that must be incurred in order for the development to obtain sewer service, but the
developer has the potential to be reimbursed for installing capacity that is greater that
what was required for that particular development. The adopted policy also states that
terms and conditions for all future Reimbursable Agreements shall be established prior
to the construction of a project.
Local Improvement District (L.I.D.):
The L.I.D. process begins with one or more property owners as proponents, requesting
sewer service to an area not currently served. The proponents, with the assistance of
City staff, develop an L.I.D. The project is designed and constructed as a City project.
Costs of the final assessment to the property owners include only those incurred after
official formation of the district. Payment of an L.I.D. assessment would be in lieu of the
actual (future) cost element of the WCC. The Historic Collection, Treatment, and
Trunkage elements of the WCC may be paid together with the L.I D assessment or paid
separately.
When L.I.D. assessments are calculated, the City has historically contributed the cost of
the incremental difference in diameter between a normally required collection pipe and
the size of trunk pipe necessary to comply with future needs identified in the
comprehensive sewer plan for the specific area (refer to City's participation in oversize
above).
Existing City policy established that the Wastewater Connection Charge for any facility
located on a lot that has participated in a local improvement district for wastewater
WCC 2007 Update
Section 2 Page 5
10/26/07
facilities and has fully executed an Outside Utility Agreement, if applicable, shall not
exceed that charge which was in effect at the time the final assessment roll was passed.
Provided the Wastewater Connection Charge is fully paid within one year of time the
final assessment roll was passed. (This would apply only to parcels outside the City)
Existing City policy established that the Future Collection element of the Wastewater
Connection Charge for any facility located on a lot within the boundaries of a local
improvement district for wastewater facilities that does not participate in said local
improvement district be the greater of the WCC established by the applicable YMC or
the Final Assessment of the LID plus interest.
LID Waiver:
The 2005 ordinance established that residential participants of new LIDs, to serve
existing residential units within the City, enjoy an "LID waiver". This created a disparity
with participants of pre-existing LIDs and industrial/commercial accounts. Staff
respectively recommends that, with the adoption of this report, the policy be refined
whereby all participants of LIDs and the City Bond Area are treated equally.
This report suggests that:
1) An "LID waiver" is defined as a waiver of the first (pre-existing) residential
connection (SDU or equivalent flow) per parcel in an LID. Other new connectors
(multiple -residential or industrial/commercial) pay treatment, trunkage, and collection for
authorized discharges greater than an SDU. However, the entire actual trunkage and
actual collection (lot size) element would be waived.
2) In order to preserve their right to an LID waiver, all participants of LIDs (existing
or new), must, within one year from the final assessment roll of their LID, or one year
from notification from the City of this LID waiver policy (whichever is later), commence
either an active or "placeholder" wastewater account. A "placeholder' account would be
available for those not wishing to actually connect at that time. Customers with a
"placeholder" account shall be billed at a flat rate ($10.00) per month. Failure to make
timely payments on a placeholder account shall void the right to an LID waiver for that
parcel. An exception shall be made for the LIDs that had their final assessment
formalized between June 19, 2005 and the effective date of the Ordinance
accompanying this report.
3) Any participants of an LIDs (existing or new) that fails to commence either an
active or "placeholder" wastewater account within the above time requirement shall,
when paying their connection charge, enjoy only a waiver of the parcel size and one
SDU equivalent flow toward their actual collection element.
4) Any parcel subdivided after participation in an LID enjoys only a waiver of the
parcel size and one SDU equivalent flow toward their actual collection element. (one
waiver of SDU equivalent flow per each original LID parcel)
5) The LID waiver shall not be extended to properties that did not have sanitary
sewer service (private) prior to construction of the LID.
WCC 2007 Update
Section 2 Page 6
10/26/07
Subdivision and Relocation
This report suggests that:
1) If a previously connected parcel is subdivided and the connected structure(s) is
demolished, the "grandfather" rights may be relocated to one of the new parcels created.
The parcel containing the original structure would not retain any rights and would be
required to pay normal charges when reconnecting.
2) If a Public Facility (partially or entirely) is relocated to a different parcel, that
Public Facility may transfer all or a portion of their "grandfather" rights to the new parcel.
The parcel containing the original structure would lose any transferred rights.
"Prove -Up"
Beginning with the 2004 report, for both non-residential domestic and non-domestic
dischargers, the anticipated effluent flow, and any other characteristics upon which the
initial WCC is based, is estimated based upon available water meter or sewage flow
meter data or from information provided by the potential discharger. The City could also
establish such estimates by reference to Table G2-1 of the "Criteria for Sewage Works
Design," published by the Washington State Department of Ecology. These estimates
would be used to calculate an initial WCC and to establish the customer's maximum
discharge. After the end of the first year of a business's full operation, the City may
calculate the final WCC based on actual discharge, and may invoice or refund any
difference between the initial and final WCC. Thereafter, the customer would be
authorized to discharge in the amounts reflected by the final WCC.
Recalculation of Charges
YMC 7.58.090(A) presently provides in part, "in the event any facility, lot, tract or parcel
is improved, or the use thereof is changed or intensified so as to increase the number or
size of water meter(s), then the amount of the connection charge is subject to
recalculation and increase" The 2004 report established that recalculation of the WCC
also be triggered (a) for non-residential domestic accounts by an increase in flow; and
(b) for non-domestic accounts by an increase in flow, BOD, or TSS discharged. These
increases could trigger recalculation of the WCC even without a meter change. Each
such account would be "grand -fathered" at, and receive a wastewater discharge
authorization for, the highest actual recorded flow (in average gallons per day per two
consecutive billing periods) and BOD, and TSS levels (in average pounds per day per
two consecutive billing periods) over a two-year period of operation prior to January
2005. If no strength data were available, the 90th percentile of the measured strength
from businesses with the same 6 -digit SIC code and the business's measured flow may
be used to establish an upper limit of authorized discharge for each such account. Once
the authorized discharge was established, any customer whose discharge exceeded
limits thus set would either be required to pay for authorization to use additional
treatment capacity, if available, in accordance with Sections 7.58.040 - 050, or be
subject to penalties as set forth by 7.65 YMC.

SECTION 3
PROPOSED WASTEWATER CONNECTION CHARGE
Introduction:
Current State statutes authorize the City to include two elements in charges for new
connections to the wastewater system.
1) An "equitable share" of the "historic" cost of the existing system.
RCW 35.92.025 authorizes a charge designed to make connecting property owners:
bear their equitable share of the cost of [the sewerage] system. The equitable
share may include interest charges from the date of construction of the ... system
until the connection, or for a period not to exceed ten years, at a rate
commensurate with the rate of interest applicable to the city[.]
2) The "actual cost" of connecting the new customers.
All actual costs of connection, including the cost of adding treatment and transmission
capacity to serve growth, may be included in this charge. Under RCW 35.67.020,
35.67.190, and 35.92.020, a city has full jurisdiction to fix sewer rates and charges,
although rates must be uniform for each class of service; in classifying, the city may
consider, among other factors, differences in capital contributions made to the system
and location (within or outside the City limits).
This report recommends that for the purpose of establishing new Wastewater
Connection Charges, the Yakima Sewer Service Area be divided into four zones. The
remainder of this report utilizes this recommendation. The first zone (Zone 1A) is the
area within the Yakima City Limits Tying east of 40th Avenue. The second zone (Zone 1 B)
is the area within the Yakima City Limits lying west of 40"' Avenue. This boundary would
change with any annexation. The third zone (Zone 2) is the area between the City limits
and the 1976 Urban Area (U.A.) boundary. The fourth zone (Zone 3) is the area
between the 1976 U.A. boundary and the Urban Area Boundary as it may change from
time to time.
Note: Although this report assumes existing and future flows and revenues from the City
of Union Gap and the Terrace Heights SewerDistrict, its recommendations do not affect
charges in their service areas.
Staff researched the historic cost of the Wastewater System's existing facilities
(treatment, trunkage, and collection) allocated to serve each of these four zones. Based
upon the findings of the 2004 Wastewater Facility Plan, staff also projected the level of
capital investment necessary during the next twenty (20) years to adequately service
increased population and related industry within each zone. This report develops a
comprehensive system analysis for each area (zone) and develops charges based on
the historic and actual/future costs to provide service.
The portion of the Connection Charge derived from historic and actual/future treatment
facility expansion expenses (Treatment element) was determined on the quantity and
strength of flow anticipated to be generated by the new connection. This is equitable, as .
the characteristics correlate directly to the impact on the treatment facility.
WCC 2007 Update
Section 3 Page 1
10/26/07
For this report, the trunkage and collection portion of the Wastewater Connection
Charge remains a function of the size of the parcel connecting to the system.
Existing and Projected Flows:
TABLE 1 indicates the projected residential growth and wastewater flow from each of the
contributing Zones for current and future conditions.
Terrace Heights and Union Gap combined presently have been allocated (and are
paying for) 12.1% of the capacity of the Treatment Facility. Table 1 indicates that, based
upon reports submitted by these customers, by maintaining their existing percentage
allocation (12.1 %) as the Facility expands, they should be able to accommodate their
growth, over the next 20 years, without obtaining a higher allocation percentage. This
report assumes that their percentage allocation remains at the existing 12.1% level.
1) Equitable Share of Historic Cost of Existing Facilities
Historic Treatment Facility Costs:
On TABLE 2, the historic construction costs of the treatment facility are shown in column
"A". This cost is then allocated to the customers within Zone 1A, Zone 1B, Zone 2,
Terrace Heights, and Union Gap (column "B") and Zone 3 (column "C") based upon the
percentage of flow each is projected to generate at the end of the planning period;
Column "B" at 92.39% and Column "C" at 7.61 %.
All Federal and State Grants and private contributions that provided funding for the
historic construction are listed in column "D", and are then deducted from column "B" to
establish the 'local cash" contributed by Zone 1A, Zone 1 B, Zone 2, Terrace Heights,
and Union Gap. This amount is shown in column "E".
None of the Federal and State Grants or private contributions were credited toward the
"local cash" portion of the facility allocated to Zone 3 customers. The 'local cash" that
has been paid by Zone 1 and Zone 2 retail customers on behalf of future Zone 3
customers is shown in column "F.
Each 'local cash" historic cost was adjusted at an appropriate interest rate from the date
of construction to 2008. The interest rate used was the average rate paid by the City on
revenue bonds issued for Wastewater Division projects during the designated time
periods. Per statute, an upper limit of ten years or 2.0 times the original cost was used
for this adjustment.
Each capital project was reviewed as to what percentage was for facility expansion as
opposed to rehabilitation or implementing new mandates. The expansion percentage is
shown in column "J".
TABLE 2 then shows the expansion allocation of the adjusted historic 'local cash" cost
for the customers within Zone 1A, 1B, and Zone 2 (column "K") and for the Zone 3
customers (column "L").
WCC 2007 Update
Section 3 Page 2
10/26/07
TABLE 3 establishes the current equity position that the City has in the Treatment and
Trunkage elements of the System. This information is utilized on TABLES 2 and 12 of
this report to determine the share of Historic Costs for new connections.
TABLE 2 utilizes the information from Table 3 to arrive at the City's Equity Portion of
expansion related Historic Costs for Zone 1A, 1 B, and Zone 2 (column "K") and for the
Zone 3 customers (column "L"). These costs are divided by the applicably capacity
allocated to each Zone. This calculation provides a unit cost per gallon of domestic
strength wastewater.
A portion of the Zone 1A, 1 B, Zone 2, and Zone 3 retail customers' monthly sewer
service rate is allocated toward repayment of outstanding debt. Therefore, a new
connector will pay a portion of the cost of the existing system through monthly sewer
service bills.
TABLE 4 utilizes the unit cost per gallon per day of domestic strength wastewater
established on Table 2 to establish the Historic cost component of the treatment element
of the WCC for Single Dwelling Units (SDUs). Average flows for a Single Dwelling Unit
(SDU) were generated from billing records.
WCCs for non-residential domestic discharger accounts should initially be calculated on
an estimated basis utilizing these unit costs and flows established from Table G2-1.
Design Basis for New Sewage Works from the Criteria for Sewage Works Design dated
1998 and/or the information provided by their Initial Industrial Waste Survey plus a pro -
rata share of Infiltration/Inflow (1/1). A final calculation of the WCC will be made following
a review of one year's sewer usage at full occupancy.
A non-domestic discharger is defined by YMC 7.65 as a discharger that has discharge
other than domestic wastewater. Domestic wastewater is defined as "water ... carrying
human waste, kitchen, bath and laundry waste, and housekeeping materials in volumes
and/or concentrations normally associated with residential discharge ..."
TABLE 5 Calculates the Historic Unit Cost for flow, BOD, and TSS by using the Historic
Cost developed on Table 2, and the treatment facility's existing capacity as established
in the 2004 Wastewater Facility Plan:
1) Hydraulic Flow 21.5 mill gals/av day -max mn
2) Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD)53,400 lbs/av day -max mn
3) Total Suspended Solids (TSS) 38,600 lbs/av day -max mn,
21 Actual (including Future) Treatment Facility Requirements:
TABLE 6 identifies the cost of Treatment Facility construction shown in the 2004
Wastewater Facility Plan necessary to meet new mandated regulatory permit (NPDES)
requirements, maintain/rehabilitate the existing facility, and accommodate projected
increase in loading over the next twenty (20) years. Growth related costs were further
identified to those related to Zone 1A, 1 B, Zone 2 customers and to Zone 3 customers.
WCC 2007 Update
Section 3 Page 3
10/26/07
The cost of capital projects required by new mandates and rehabilitation of the existing
facility will continue to be recovered through monthly service rates charged to existing
customers.
TABLE 6 further establishes the allocation of growth -related and other actual costs for
the customers within Zone 1A, 1B, and Zone 2 and for the Zone 3 customers of 1.0
gallon per day of "domestic" strength wastewater. Note that future treatment costs are
the same for all zones of the service area.
TABLE 7 uses the total increase in the average day -maximum month treatment facility
flow depicted on Table 1-5 of the 2004 Wastewater Facility Plan, to determine the
facilities needed to adequately accommodate the 20 year projected growth within the
service area.
TABLE 8 utilizes the unit cost per gallon per day of domestic strength wastewater
established on Table 6 to establish the Actual cost component of the treatment element
for SDUs.
WCCs for non-residential domestic discharger accounts shall initially be estimated for
each customer utilizing these unit costs and flows established from Table G2-1. Design
Basis for New Sewage Works from the Criteria for Sewage Works Design dated 1998
and/or the information provided by the customer's Initial Industrial Waste Survey plus a
pro -rata share of Infiltration/Inflow (1/1). A final calculation, and any related adjustment to
the estimated WCC, will be made following a review of one year's sewer usage at full
occupancy.
TABLE 9 uses the total increase in the pounds per average day -maximum month
treatment facility loading of BOD and TSS depicted on Table 1-5 of the 2004
Wastewater Facility Plan, to determine the facilities needed to adequately accommodate
the 20 year projected growth within the expanded service area.
TABLE 10 calculates the Actual (including Future) Unit Cost per unit of Flow, BOD or
Total Suspended Solids by using the Future cost developed on Table 6, the treatment
facility's future required capacity found on tables 7 and 9. These unit rates are utilized to
calculate equitable WCCs for non-domestic dischargers.
TABLE 11 contains a summary of proposed unit rates to be charged for the Treatment
Element of the connection charge.
Staff determined the following elements of the Wastewater Connection Charge using the
methods established with the 2004 Update. That being, to assess one-half the cost to
parcel size and one-half to discharge flow.
WCC 2007 Update
Section 3 Page 4
10/26/07
Historic Trunks/Interceptors Cost:
Unlike the treatment facility, the Trunks/Interceptors often serve specific Zones. On
TABLES 12-F and 12-P staff determined the Historic Cost, as adjusted by interest and
equity position, of the existing system Trunks/Interceptors and allocated each to the
Zones they serve.
Table 12-P: costs are spread across the total square footage of parcels projected to be
connected by the end of the planning period (20 years). A separate unit cost per square
foot was established for each Zone. Note: The Total Acres were taken from the City's
GIS data, Future parcel acres were calculated to accommodate permanently non-
sewered acreage (streets, parks, parking Tots, etc.).
Table 12-F: costs are spread across the total flow anticipated by 2024. The flow figure
reflects the total increase anticipated and does not reflect the anticipated decrease in
Infiltration/Inflow. The anticipated flow for Terrace Heights, Union Gap, and the Yakima
Urban Reserve (Zone 3) are taken from Table 1, the flow for Zone 1A, 1B, and Zone 2
are pro -rata by the total acres of these Zones
PROPOSAL: Table 12-P and 12-F each assess one-half the cost by their respective
methods. Both are utilized to calculate the connection charge.
Future Trunks and Interceptors:
TABLES 13-P and 13-F list costs for this necessary construction and allocates that cost
to the Zone that will utilize the increased capacity to accommodate future development.
This allocation was based upon the projected connected parcel acres within each Zone
at the end of the 20 -year planning period. Note that the cost was reduced by the ratio of
estimated Annual Average Flow (AAF) in 2024 (15.5mgd) to the AAF for buildout
conditions (18.5mgd) as indicated on Table 1-5 of the 2004 Wastewater Facility Plan.
TABLE 13-P allocates the cost for each Zone across the area of the new parcels
projected to be connected within each Zone. This results in a unit price per square foot
to be assessed against new connectors for future Trunk construction.
TABLE 13-F allocates the cost for each Zone based upon the projected increase in flow
at the end of the 20 -year planning period. This increase is determined and allocated on
TABLE 7.
PROPOSAL: Table 13-P and 13-F each assess one-half the cost by their respective
methods. Both are utilized to calculate the connection charge.
Historic Collection System Cost:
The collection system consists of the 6", 8", and 10" pipes. On TABLES 14-P and 14-F
staff determined the Historic Cost, as adjusted by interest, of the existing collection
system and allocated each to the Zones they serve.
TABLE 14-P: costs are spread across the total square footage of parcels projected to be
connected by the end of the planning period (20 years). This includes existing and
future connected area. A separate unit cost per square foot was established for each
Zone.
WCC 2007 Update
Section 3 Page 5
10/26/07
TABLE 14-F costs are spread across the total flow projected by the end of the planning
period (20 years). This includes existing and future flow. A separate unit cost per gallon
per day was established for each Zone.
PROPOSAL: Table 14-P and 14-F each assess one-half the cost by their respective
methods. Both are utilized to calculate the connection charge.
Future Collection Systems:
As previously mentioned, the City does not typically install or fund the design and
installation of collection pipes (6", 8", 10"). The most common methods of funding the
installation of collection pipes are: a) in conjunction with a new subdivision or other new
development extension; b) by private funding due to the need for sewer service for an
existing building or other development; or c) by Local Improvement District (L.I.D.).
Through the use of any of these methods, the new connectors will directly pay for their
collection system.
This is the single most expensive element of the entire wastewater system. However, as
stated before, the City anticipates only limited participation in this expense.
TABLE 15 demonstrates the calculation utilized to establish a unit price per square foot
to be assessed against new connectors of all four Zones that connect to existing
collection pipes. TABLE 15 also demonstrates the calculation utilized to establish a unit
price per gallon to be assessed against new connectors of all four Zones that connect to
existing collection pipes. The average parcel size was determined from payment
records.
The "Future Collection" element of the charge may be waived if: 1) the parcel is within a
"developer" built collection system area, 2) the parcel owner extends a collection pipe
from the existing system through or along the entire length of the parcel such that
adjoining parcel may be served, or 3) the parcel is within a LID in which the parcel
participated. Customers are subject to this element of the Connection Charge regardless
of the classification of the sewer pipe to which they actually connect (see section 2 at
page 4).
The existing collection system was financed by developments, L.I.D.s or City cash.
Therefore, subject to L.I.D. agreements, all of the existing connected properties have
paid 100% of the capital costs of their collection piping systems.
TABLE 16 consolidates and summarizes the Existing and Future charges for each
element (Treatment, Trunkage, and Collection) of the proposed connection charge for a
Single Dwelling Unit (SDU) within each Zone. Costs shown for Trunkage and Collection
are based 50% on parcel size and 50% on flow. Costs are shown with the future
collection element included and with it waived for an 8,000, and a 12,000 square foot
parcel.
TABLE 17 summarizes and compares the existing and proposed total Wastewater
Connection Charge for each of the four zones with the future collection element waived
and with it included.
WCC 2007 Update
Section 3 Page 6
10/26/07
Other Charges; In addition to the base Wastewater Connection Charges set forth
above, all charges shall be subject to:
1) City Services Charges are set each year during the budget process. They
currently approximate 6% of the division's revenue.
2) Utility Tax is set by Section 7.64.010-C. 1. of the City Municipal Code. The rate
is currently set at 14% on the gross revenue of the wastewater system.
3) Administrative Charges are set at $50.00 per parcel. This reimburses the City for
the time spent administrating the Wastewater Connection Charge program. Any
required inspection, permit, or plan review fees are in addition to this amount.
The cost of capital projects required by new mandates and for rehabilitation to existing
facilities will continue to be included in monthly service rates charged to all customers
and will not be included in the WCC.
