The City receives <br />rate revenue in the form of fixed bi-monthly charges (hereafter referred to as the Sewer Utility Charge and <br />Water Utility Charge, respectively) and consumption -based charges (hereafter referred to as the Water <br />Usage Charge for water and recycled water and "Commodity Charge" for sewer). <br />The water rate revenue in the financial plan is based on FY 2017/18 actual revenue, adjusted for FY <br />2018/19 by the percent rate increase in that year, and then adjusted annually to reflect assumed <br />customer growth and any applicable rate revenue adjustments that are proposed by this Study. <br />Recycled water rate revenue is a new item in the City's Budget, and as such, is based off of FY 2018/19 <br />budgeted amounts and adjusted thereafter to reflect the assumed customer growth and rate revenue <br />adjustments proposed by this Study. <br />Details of the budgeted and projected revenues are listed in detail in Schedule 2 of Appendix A for the <br />Water Enterprise and Schedule 7 of Appendix B for the Sewer Enterprise. <br />City of Santa Ana Stantec 18 <br />
