Water And Sewer User Fees And Charges

In accordance with the requirements of Rule 15c-2-12 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the City has covenanted to disclose the following annual financial information.

User fees are set by the Mayor and Council to recover independently the cost of providing water and sewerage service, to pay principal and interest on debt obligations of the System and to general reserves for emergencies and expansion of the System. The Mayor and Council last adopted a schedule for rates, tolls, assessments and fees charged by the System in August 2009. The City has covenanted in the Ordinance to revise and adjust such schedules of rates, fees and charges for water sewerage services and facilities to the extent necessary to produce funds at least equal to the amount necessary to: (1) operate and maintain the System on a sound businesslike basis but before provision for depreciation or amortization; (2) produce an amount equal to 115% of the Debt Service Requirement for the then current Sinking Fund Year, (3) create and maintain in the Debt Service Reserve Fund an amount equal to the Debt Service Reserve Requirement and (4) make the payments then required to be made into the Renewal and Extension Fund.

The minimum water and sewer bill is based on the first 2,000 gallons of water usage. In addition to the charges outlined below for water and sewerage usage, the City charges a minimum water meter fee of $900.00 and has adopted a proportionate share fee system for new sewer service based on land uses and square footage. The proportionate share sewer fee is imposed to recover transmission and other costs associated with developing new sewer collection basins and service areas. These charges range from $1,576.80 for a single family residential dwelling to $350.40 per 1,000 square feet of retail, $292.00 per 1,000 square feet of standard office and $438.00 per 1,000 square feet of medical space.

Based on the current rate structure and average residential water of usage of 6,500 gallons per month, the average water bill for a residential customer is approximately $27.55 per month. The average residential sewer bill is approximately $28.78 per month.
