What Would Change? <br />,A E <br />4 RATE STRUCTURE <br />o- <br />The proposed rate structure would replace the current tiered rates with an <br />updated structure designed to provide stable and predictable revenue. This <br />change would align water, sewer, and recycled water rates with the cost of providing <br />service and maintaining system infrastructure. The new structure would support system <br />resilience, modernization, and planned capital improvements. <br />MONTHLY BILLING <br />�000 With new meter technology, the City of Santa Ana can begin issuing bills <br />monthly instead of bimonthly. Monthly billing would provide customers with <br />more frequent water use information and support more regular household budgeting. <br />This change would also improve the City of Santa Ana's ability to monitor and manage <br />system performance. <br />WATER RATES: $4.18 MONTHLY IMPACT TO TYPICAL CUSTOMER <br />For a typical single-family residential customer, proposed water rates would <br />increase by an average of $4.18 per month. The proposed rate change would <br />fund system reliability, maintenance, and improvement of the water system to meet <br />service and regulatory requirements. <br />SEWER RATES: $2.94 MONTHLY IMPACT TO TYPICAL CUSTOMER <br />-AL For a typical single-family residential customer, proposed sewer rates would <br />increase by an average of $2.94 per month. The proposed rate change would <br />fund continued operation, maintenance, and capital improvements to the sewer system <br />to maintain compliance and service reliability. <br />Fixed vs. Variable Charges <br />FIXED CHARGES are independent of the amount of water used. They cover non - <br />fluctuating costs such as capital projects, transmission, distribution, meters, and services. <br />VARIABLE CHARGES are calculated based on the amount of water moving through a <br />customer's meter. These charges cover expenses such as purchased water, electricity, <br />and treatment chemicals. <br />For More Information <br />To review the cost -of -service study, estimate how the proposed changes may affect your <br />bill, and learn more about the proposed rate changes, visit santaanautilityrates.com. <br />If the proposed rate changes are approved by the City of Santa Ana, all water, sewer, <br />and recycled water services will be billed at the rates outlined in the tables on the <br />following pages. <br />1 l <br />�ipmr-A� <br />3 � <br />
