Global Service Provider Buildings Energy Environment Transportation Water Water and Wastewater Rate Study Village of Villa Park, Illinois Presented to Village Board May 23, 2016
Agenda Services provided Need for rate increase Rate structures Cost-of-service rate analysis & proposed Rates –Water –Wastewater (Combined sewer separation & Storm Water not currently funded) Wastewater Combined Sewer Separation Storm Water Summary of recommendations
Utilities Provide Services That Improve Customer’s Quality of Life Water: Provides clean water Provides adequate water supply Provides sufficient fire protection Provides high level of utility service Wastewater: Contributes to healthy neighborhoods Provides clean waterways Protects wildlife Provides high level of utility service
Rate Increases Required to Maintain Services Capital expenses related to proposed CIP Combined Sewer Separation Storm Water Increasing utility spending due to inflation and increased maintenance costs Declining water usage due to ongoing water conservation efforts
Current Rate Structures Administrative fee Water –Uniform volume rate Inside corporate limits Outside corporate limits –Customer charge –Cross connection charge Wastewater –Uniform volume rate –Customer charge
Proposed Rate Structures Administrative fee Water –Uniform Volume Rate Inside corporate limits Outside corporate limits –Customer Charge –Cross Connection Charge Wastewater –Uniform Volume Rate –Customer Charge –Sewer Separation Charge –Storm Water Charge
Proposed Rate Basis Water Audit Study What does it take to cover completed and ready to bid capital projects? Allocate debt service to fixed charge –Avoids uncertainty of revenue tied to water usage –Provides more stable source of revenue –Reduces volume charge increase
Cost-of-Service Rate Analysis Cost-of-service analysis for municipal utilities provides adequate revenue to cover costs Costs include O&M expenses & capital financing Goal is to charge all customers fair and equitable rates equal to cost of providing service to them In simplest form: Costs divided by billing quantity = rate For fair and equitable rates: Detailed considerations are needed
