Scottsdale Water Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
How do we pay for system capital needs? Water and Sewer Rates – Monthly billing of customers pays for operating costs and asset rehab and replacement Development Fees – Pays for growth Water Development Fee Sewer Development Fee Water Resources Development Fee Agreement Revenue - Cost recovery Golf courses, adjoining systems

Water and Sewer Rate Adjustment History Fiscal Year Water Sewer Combined 2010/11 - 0 - 2011/12 2012/13 2013/14 (1.8%) 4.0% (0.2%) 2014/15 (1.2%) (0.3%) 2015/16 1.3% 2.6% 1.6% 2016/17 Cumulative (0.5%) 5.4% 1.1% Rate reductions resulted from rate structure changes driven by cost of service study results and revenue stability.
Water Campus Solar Project Solar Services Agreement (SSA) with SolarCity for 2.3MW of solar infrastructure 2000 kWh Tesla lithium-ion battery storage 20-year agreement No capital required by Scottsdale Water SolarCity finances, designs, builds, operates and maintains system SSA approved by Council on July 5, 2016
Project Location – Scottsdale Water Campus
Project Benefits Estimated $1.4M energy savings over 20-year agreement Solar/Battery combination reduces demand charges on electric bill Project will offset 10% of electric grid supplied power to Campus with clean renewable energy Battery storage will serve as an additional power back-up in the event of a regional power outage
Battery Storage Benefits Illustrated Trim Peak Demand Reduce Demand Charges Lower Bills Demand Spike Batteries Trim Demand Spikes
