<br />Revenue Projections
<br />The City generates revenue from sewer services, interest earned from the investment of available funds,
<br />and other miscellaneous revenues. Since revenue generated outside of sewer sales are not subject to
<br />rate increases, we have excluded them from this portion of the analysis. These additional revenue
<br />sources are incorporated later in the cash flow portion of the report.
<br />The Sewer Enterprise's revenues are composed of solely a commodity charge. Since the system is a
<br />collection only system, the customers do not pay treatment services to the City and thus are only billed
<br />based on flow. Customers pay costs for treatment services to OCSD through property tax bills. The
<br />commodity charge is based on every HCF of water consumed. The fee is designed to recover fixed and
<br />variable costs with collecting the wastewater.
<br />Summarized in Table 3 are the current sewer rates for all customer classes.
<br />Table 3: Existing Rates (Effective July 2010)
<br />Customer Class Rate
<br />All Customers $0.345
<br />Unmetered Customers ($)
<br />Flat Bi- Monthly Charge $13.80
<br />Incorporating the existing sewer rate with the billed sewage projections, sewer sales revenue under
<br />existing rates is tabulated as shown in Table 4. The anticipated revenue generated under existing rates is
<br />expected to remain constant at $5,268,000 throughout the study period.
