WATER RATE STUDY I City of Santa Ana, CA <br />The Water Enterprise's revenues are composed of two parts: a basic bimonthly service charge and a <br />commodity charge. The bimonthly service charge is a fixed amount based on meter size that is designed <br />to recover fixed costs, which do not vary with the volume of water used by a customer such as meter <br />reading, customer billing, and debt service. The commodity charge is an amount based on units of <br />consumption, which is measured by the number of hundred cubic feet of water consumed during the <br />billing cycle. Included in the commodity charge are the costs associated with water purchases. Since the <br />Water Enterprise has traditionally reviewed rates on an annual basis, any increases from the Orange <br />County Water District and /or MWD for purchased water have been incorporated in July. <br />Summarized in Table 3 are the current water rates for all customer classes. <br />Table - 3: Existing Rates (Effective July 1, 2010) <br />5/8" $7.00 <br />3/4" $11.00 <br />V. $16.40 <br />1.5" <br />$23.40 <br />2" <br />$46.40 <br />$14.00 <br />3" <br />$116.60 <br />$14.00 <br />4" <br />$186.60 <br />$18.00 <br />6" <br />$280.00 <br />$24.00 <br />8" <br />$32.00 <br />30" <br />$38.00 <br />12" <br />$44.00 <br />[ "]Multi- Family per unit charge $4.20 <br />Tier 1(0 -44 HCF) $2.73 <br />Ter 2 (Over 45 HCF) $3.15 <br />Recycled Water $2.18 <br />Incorporating the existing water rates with the number of accounts and customer usage projections, <br />water sales revenue under existing rates is tabulated as shown in Table 4.
