Modified Fees <br /> PUBLIC WORKS AGENCY <br /> 5) Metered Water Rates <br /> Existing Fee: <br /> Base Rate Per 100 Cubic Feet $1.760 <br /> Tail Block Rate Per 100 Cubic Feet $2.119 <br /> Proposed Fee: <br /> Base Rate Per 100 Cubic Feet $1.871 <br /> Tail Block Rate Per 100 Cubic Feet $2.249 <br /> The City owns and operates the local water utility and charges customers for the water usage. The <br /> average Santa Ana household uses less than 44 units of water bi-monthly. One unit is equal to 100 <br /> cubic feet (CCF) or 748 gallons. A bi-monthly cycle is used because water bills are mailed out and <br /> due every two months. A customer whose bi-monthly usage exceeds the base rate allocation of 44 <br /> units pays the tail block rate. The rate adjustment includes a 5.3% CPI cost increase of providing <br /> metered water service and a $0.019 commodity adjustment. The proposal will adjust the base rate by <br /> $0.112 and the tail block rate by $0.131. The typical bi-monthly water bill of 40 units would increase <br /> by $4.48. <br /> 6) Sanitary Sewer Service Rates <br /> Existing Fee: <br /> Unit Rate Per 100 Cubic Feet of metered water use $0.160 <br /> Or Per Month Per SFH $3.210 <br /> Proposed Fee: <br /> Unit Rate Per 100 Cubic Feet of metered water use $0.188 <br /> Or Per Month Per SFH $3.760 <br /> Fee Description: <br /> The Sanitary Sewer Service fee is used to maintain the City's sanitary sewer collection system. <br /> Services covered by the fee include repair and replacement of sewer mains and laterals located within <br /> the street right of way. The fee is also used to fund ongoing maintenance and cleaning of the sewer <br /> mains. The Sanitary Sewer Service fee adjustment has two parts. The first part is the 5.3% CPI fee <br /> increase. The second part is a flat $0.02 increase to fund additional capital construction for the <br /> replacement of obsolete sewer mains. Both parts of the increase require Council action. The typical <br /> bi-monthly residential sewer bill would increase by $1.12. <br /> For single family residential customers that do not receive water service from the city, a flat rate <br /> based upon 20 CCF of water usage is charged. The 2005-06 flat rate is $3.21 per month. The 2006- <br /> 07 flat rate will be $3.760. <br /> Proposed modifications to existing fees are fee rate adjustments to the Miscellaneous Fees Schedule. <br /> 72 <br />
