Service Availability Policy and Charges 1 Water & Wastewater Reference Manual

Service Availability Policy and Charges Service availability charges are one-time charges collected by the utility when a property first connects to the utility system. They allow the utility to recover a portion of its investment as customers connect to the system. They reduce the long-run cost of service to the customer by reducing the amount of investment on which the utility may earn a return. Service availability charges are recorded on the utility’s books as contributions in aid of construction (CIAC). 2 Water & Wastewater Reference Manual

Types of Service Availability Charges Meter installation charges are designed to recover the cost of the meter and the installation. Tap-in charges are designed to recover the cost of the service line from the main to the water meter or point of connection for wastewater service. Main extension charges are designed to recover each customers’ pro rata share of the cost of the transmission and distribution or collection lines. Plant capacity charges are designed to recover a portion of the utility’s investment in land and treatment facilities. 3 Water & Wastewater Reference Manual

Minimum Service Availability Guideline At a minimum, the utility’s level of CIAC should allow the utility to recover the cost of the transmission and distribution or collection system. See Rule (2), F.A.C., Guidelines for Designing Service Availability Policy. Example: Transmission/Distribution System Cost $750,000 = 50% Minimum Total Water System Cost$1,500,000 Contribution Level Transmission/Distribution System Cost $750,000 = $750/ERC* Transmission/Distribution System Capacity 1,000 Main Extension Charge * Equivalent Residential Connection 4 Water & Wastewater Reference Manual

Maximum Service Availability Guideline The utility’s CIAC net of amortization should not exceed 75 percent of the utility’s investment net of depreciation at design capacity. See Rule (1), F.A.C, Guidelines for Designing Service Availability Policy. Example: CIAC net of amortization at design capacity* $900,000 = < 75% Water/wastewater system cost net of depreciation at design capacity$1,200,000 * Includes meter installation, main extension, and plant capacity charges 5 Water & Wastewater Reference Manual
