Consent Item O
Closed Session O
August 16, 2012
TO: GOVERNING BOARD MEMBERS
FROM: GENERAL MANAGER/CEO
SUBJECT: SURPLUS PROPERTY (STERLING AVENUE)
RECO-MMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board of Directors adopt resolution 2012.14 declaring parcels APN:
1192-231-01 and 1192-241-01 as surplus property and authorize the General Manager/CEO to
negotiate on behalf of the District the sale of said real property.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
Over the past several years, the District has acquired several properties and considered several
locations for the future headquarters. The Sterling Avenue property was purchased in 2004 to be
utilized as the District Headquarters location. For a variety of reasons the project was never
approved.
Staff recently completed a comprehensive analysis that evaluated various potential locations for
the firture District Headquarters and recommended the Greenspot property as the most suitable
location for the future Headquarters facility. On July 25, 2012 the Board took formal action and
selected the Greenspot property as the preferred location. Staff has evaluated this property for
current and future needs and has concluded that this property has ne value for water or
wastewater faculities.
Tle said property consists of a total of 967,054 square feet located on Sterling Avenue between
3rd and. 5"' Streets in the City of San Bernardino, and is valued between $6,000,000 and
$8,000.000.
The funding; for the purchase of the property at 3rd Street and Sterling Avenue was purchased
with proceeds from a $10,000,000 loan obtained fi•em Citizen's Business Bank / Municipal
Finance Corporation on June 14, 2004. The loan qualified as tax exempt financing because
stipulated uses of the proceeds were a District Administrative facility, and transmission and
distribution pipelines. The loan was refinanced in October 2010 with the issuance of the
District's 2010 Refunding Revenue Bonds.

construction of the District Headquarters.
REVIEW BY OTHERS:
Administrative staff and the District's Legal Counsel have reviewed this agenda item.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The District's financial plan has assumed the sale of surplus property as a source of revenue to
partially fund the construction of the District's new Headquarters facility.

East Val ley
Water District Public Hearing: E3_ Discussion Item: ❑
Consent Item ❑
Closed Session ❑
August 15, 2012
TO: GOVERNING BOARD MEMBERS
FROM: GENERAL MANAGER/CEO
SUBJECT: DELIVERY OF FINAL NOTICES (PINK TAGS)
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt water rate Resolution 2012.13, and Ordinances 383 and 384 with revisions to approve the
use of third party carrier for delivery of Final Disconnect Notices (pink tags), and collect a
charge from customers receiving Disconnect Notices sufficient to cover the delivery and
administrative costs. No other changes to prior Resolution 2010.06 are being requested.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
BACKGROUND
The District's primary recourse for collecting payment on delinquent accounts is the notification
of, and if necessary executing, the disconnection of water service. When disconnection for non-
payrnent is pending, California Government Code §60373 requires that utility districts make a
good Faith effort to contact an adult residing at the property at least 48 hours prior to
disconnection. Staff complies with Code §60373, in accordance with District Ordinance 375,
section 12.01, by hanging a notification (pink) tag at the property.
DISCUSSION
Flanging pink tags is labor intensive and the District delivers an average of 125 tags per day.
Many of these tags are delivered to customers who frequently receive final notices, indicating
that they are not receiving the notices due to an occasional misplaced bill, or forgetting to pay the
water bill before leaving on vacation, but that certain customers are simply in the habit of
waiting; to receive a final notice before paying their water bill. During the 18 month period
ended March 2012:
105 customers received final notices every month
• 889 customers received final notices in at least 12 of the 18 months
• 2,693 customers received final notices in at least 6 of the 18 months
Page I ]
S R#0141
AGENDA DATE: AUGUST 22, 2012
SUBJECT: DELIVERY OF FINAL NOTICES (PINK TAGS)
Delivering such a significant number of final notices presents a large burden for a Field Services
department where the staff level has been reduced from six to four. In addition, the task of
delivering final notices by these employees inhibits their involvement in more positive
programs, such as water conservation and water audits. With that in mind, management has
continued to search for an alternate method of delivering final notices. One alternative is
available through Infosend, the District's bill print and mailing vendor.
An Infosend representative recently introduced staff to a final notice delivery program that they
have implemented with other agencies. Under the program, agencies send Infosend a final
notice data file, Infosend then prints the notices and delivers them to the customers' doors by
Federal Express. Some of the benefits of utilizing this Infosend/Federal Express program are:
• real time tracking and delivery confirmation
• availability of Field Services staff for other programs
• reduced risks to District staff inherent with manual delivery
Cost for this service is $20 per notice, with guaranteed delivery within 24 hours. The costs
would be passed through to the customers receiving the notices by increasing the Disconnect
Notice Charge. Due to the significant increase in this charge, from the current charge of$5, to
$20, staff would begin implementation with a two to three month campaign to notify customers
of the impending changes and significant fee increase. Further, staff would track any changes in
the number of pink tags being delivered and provide updates to the Board on the effectiveness of
the new delivery method in reducing late payments and disconnections for non-payment.
Staff recommends that the Board adopt Resolution 2012.13 and Ordinances 383 and 384, with
revisions authorizing the use of a third party carrier, such as Federal Express, for delivery of final
notices, and authorizing an adjustment to the Disconnect Notice Charge so that it is sufficient to
cover the delivery and administrative costs.
REVIEW BY OTHERS:
The District's Legal Counsel has reviewed this agenda item.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this agenda item. Cost of the third party tamer for
delivery will be charged through to the customer, and budget revenue calculations did not
include revenue from the Disconnect Notice Charge as staff anticipated bringing this program to
the Board for consideration.

rules and regulations set forth in Ordinance No. 384 and to yield an amount sufficient to
pay the operating expenses of the District, provide for repairs and depreciation of works
owned or operated by the District, pay the interest on any bonded debt, and, so far as
possible, provide a fund for the payment of the principal of the bonded debt as it
becomes due; and
WHEREAS, in furtherance of its objectives, the District has conducted a study on
the public facilities operated by the District and the anticipated need for additional
facilities in the future; and,
WHEREAS, this study, entitled East Valley Water District Imoact Fee Study, AB
1500 Compliance was prepared by the engineering firm of URS Corporation dated May
1989; updated in 1995; and most recently updated in 2000 by Engineering Resources of
Southern California, Inc.; and is available for public review and inspection; and
WHEREAS, this study indicates that existing public facilities operated by the
District will need to be modified and additional facilities will be needed for the District to
provide adequate water service to the people within the District; and
WHEREAS, this study further indicates that rates and fees need to be
established by the District to raise sufficient revenue to finance the public facilities
necessary to provide adequate water service; and
WHEREAS, the District has further retained the services of a qualified engineer,

i
Resolution 2012.13
WHEREAS, the revenue raised by these rates and fees will be used to modify or
construct additional public facilities to provide adequate water services, and do not
exceed the total cost of these facilities; and
WHEREAS, this action is necessary for obtaining funds for the construction of
capital public facilities necessary to maintain water service within the boundaries of the
District and is therefore exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act as provided by Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(8); and
WHEREAS, the amount of the rates and charges hereby adopted do not exceed
the reasonable anticipated costs for the corresponding services provided by the District,
and therefore the fees imposed hereby to not qualify as "special taxes" under
Government Code Section 50076, and the actions taken herein are exempt from the
additional notice and public meeting requirements of the Brown Act pursuant to
Government Code Section 54954.6(a)(1)(A) and (B); and
WHEREAS, the District has satisfied all of the substantive and procedural
prerequisites of Articles XIIIC and MID of the California Constitution in establishing the
rates and charges set forth herein, including but not limited to, the identification of the
parcels upon which the rates and charges will be imposed; the calculation of the rates
and charges; the mailing of written notice to the record owners of each parcel upon
which the rates and charges will be imposed describing the amount thereof, the basis
upon which the rates and charges were calculated, the reason for the rates and
charges, and the date, time, and location of the public hearing to be held thereon; and
the conducting of a public hearing on the rates and charges not less than 45 days after
mailing the notice during which all protests against the fee were considered.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Directors of the East
Valley Water District does hereby resolve and determine that the written protests
against the rates and charges set forth herein that were received by the District prior to
the close of the public hearing hereon represented less than a majority of the parcels
subject to the rates and charges set forth below and, thus, the District's Board of
Directors further finds that the public interest and necessity requires the adoption of the
content and findings of the Water Rate Study and the following rates and charges for
water service by the District in accordance with Ordinance No. 384, as well as
affirmation and ratification of all prior rates and charges previously adopted by the
District's Board of Directors:

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The East Valley Water District (District) retained HDR Engineering, Inc. (HDR) to prepare this
rate studv in order to evaluate the additional funding needed for some key capital
improvement projects, estimate the related rate adjustments, and evaluate both the projected
rates and the rate structure designs to comply with Proposition 218 requirements that rates be
fair and equitable.
As a result of this study, rate increases for both water and sewer utilities are recommended.
HDR has worked collaboratively with the District staff and Board regarding; the magnitude and
timing of the rates shown in Figure ES-I and Figure ES-2:

SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION
Overview of the Rate Analyses
As a part of these water and sewer rate studies, HDR evaluated current customer classes and
rate structures with the intent of improving the efficiency and equity of the rates, but also
focused on options that are administratively feasible and meet the District's overall objectives.
HDR's approach included forecasting revenues and expenditures, developing net revenue
requirements, performing cost-of-service rate analyses, and recommending new rates. This
report presents an overview of the results of these rate studies.
Key Objectives
Although the District's over-riding objective is to provide customers with a safe and reliable
water supply at a fair and cost-effective price, the District has a number of more specific
objectives to consider in developing its water and sewer rates, including:
• Providing revenues that are sufficient and stable
• Developing rates that are equitable and fair to water and sewer customers
• Adequately funding repair and replacement(R&R) and capital improvement projects
• Maintaining adequate financial health, including sufficient reserves, meeting debt service
coverage ratios, and observing appropriate financial management policies
HDR believes this study and our recommendations meet these key objectives
Rate Design Criteria and Considerations
Several criteria should be considered in setting rates and developing sound rate structures. The
fundamentals of this process have been documented in a number of rate setting manuals;
although, the foundation for evaluating rate structures is generally credited to James C.
Bonbright in the Principles of Public Utility Rates.' This manual outlines pricing policies, theories,
and economic concepts along with various rate designs. A simplified list of the attributes of a
sound rate structure, which apply to both water and sewer rates, is provided below:
IN Rates should be easy to understand from the customer's perspective
• Rates should be easy to administer from the utility's perspective
• Rates should promote the efficient allocation of the resource
• Rate should be equitable and non-discriminating (i.e., cost based)
1 James C.Bonbright;Albert L. Danielsen and David R. Kamerschen, Principles of Public Utility Rates, (Arlington,VA:Public
Utilities Report,Inc., Second Edition, 1988), p. 383-384.

_10 'yr i� •VI � _ � ' ,
M There should be continuity in the rate making philosophy over time
IV Other utility policies should be considered (e.g., encouraging conservation, economic
development, etc.)
11 Rates should consider the customer's ability to pay,
is Rates should provide revenue stability from month to month and year to year
Many rate economists and regulatory agencies, including HDR, feel the cost-based attribute
should be of primary importance in guiding utilities on rate structure and policy issues. For a
number of reasons (i.e., drought, population growth, and infrastructure deficiencies), California
water utilities are also encouraged to emphasize water conservation and reducing their average
long-term per-capita usage.
It is important for water utilities to send proper price signals to its customers about the actual
cost of their water usage, and likewise sewer costs. This objective may be approached through
both the magnitude of the rates and design of the rate structure. In other words, both the
amount of revenue collected (i.e., $10.0 million per year) and the way in which the revenue is
collected from the customers are important.
Proposition 218
Proposition 218, which was adopted in 1996 and dubbed the "citizen's right to vote on new
taxes," provides the opportunity for the public to vote on changes to any "property-related
fees." Following passage of this law, various court decisions have defined water and sewer
service charges to be property-related fees.' Even if proposed service charges are revenue.
neutral (i.e., not intended to increase the overall amount of revenue collected), a change in the
rate structure (e.g., from a uniform rate to a multi-tiered rate for single family residential
customers) is subject to compliance with Proposition 218 mandates.
Proposition 218 essentially requires a utility to provide public notification of proposed rate
changer., inform property owners/customers of the protest mechanism and the time frame for
response, and provide a public hearing on the proposed rates. The public hearing must be held
"not less than 45 days after the mailing of the notice." The District should consult their legal
counsel regarding the details of their notification, protest ballots, and public hearing process.
Rate Structure Terminology
Some basic terminology related to rate structures and gate designs is helpful in understanding
this rate. study. Although other water utilities across California and the U.S. use a wide variety
of structures today, in reality, they are all based upon a.few basic rate design concepts. A brief'
discussion of these basic rate design concepts is provided below.

Distrin'12004), and Aparonent Association of Los Angeles Coanhl lne. v. Citv of Los Angeles (2001).
f Valley tVat(.r District Page 3
The starting point in considering rate structures is the relationship between fixed costs and
variable costs. Fixed costs typically do not vary with the amount of water produced or the
amount of effluent handled by a sewer system. Debt service is an example of a fixed cost. In
contrast, variable costs tend to change with the quantity of water produced (or effluent
handled), such as the cost of chemicals and electricity. Most rate structures contain a fixed or
minimum charge, and a volumetric charge.
Fixed Charges "Although other water
utilities across California and
Fixed charges can be called base charges, minimum i the U.S. use a wide variety of
charges, customer charges, meter charges, etc. Although structures today, in reality,
fixed charges are typically a significant percentage of the they are all based upon a few

of their fixed costs through fixed charges. However,
customers generally prefer to be charged on a volumetric basis.
A 2007 survey conducted by the California-Nevada Section of the American Water Works
Association (AWWA)3 indicated that 96%of the water utilities surveyed had some form of fixed
charge, with the median fixed charge being $13.86/month.4 At a minimum, most fixed charges
reflect the cost of meter reading, billing/accounting, and collection costs.
Fixed charges for water utilities typically increase by meter size. For example, a customer with
a 2" meter may have a fixed meter charge that is eight times greater than the 5/8" or 3/4" meter
charges based on the meter's safe operating capacity.' Because a large portion of water utilities'
costs are typically related to meeting capacity requirements, reflecting individual demands for
capacity are important in establishing rates for customers.
The District's fixed monthly charges for water are a combination of administrative costs (e.g.,
meter reading and billing) plus capacity-related costs that increase with meter size. Fixed
charges for single-family sewer customers include essentially all their costs rolled into a
monthly "flat rate," whereas non-residential sewer customers are charged a much smaller fixed
charge for a minimal level of administrative costs.
Variable (Consumption) Charges
In contrast, variable costs tend to change with the quantity of water produced (or effluent
handled), such as the cost of chemicals and electricity. For a water utility, variable charges are
generally based on metered consumption and charged on a dollar-per-unit cost (one-thousand
gallons in the City's case). They generally take the form of four basic rate structures: a

Figure 1 also illustrates the significant variation in the basic philosophy of each of these variable
charge rate structures. Under a uniform rate structure, the cost per unit does not change with
consumption, and provides a simple and straightforward approach from the perspective of
custorner understanding and rate administration/billing.
In contrast, the declining block rate structure is more complex, since both the number of blocks
(e.g., three stepped blocks) and size of the blocks (e.g., 0 to 10,000 gallons) can vary. However,
the number of blocks6 should be reasonable (i.e., two to five blocks) for both of simplicity and
ease of administration. A declining block rate structure implies there are certain economies of
ecale with additional consumption, and do not necessarily entail a "volume discount."
6'Blocks"or"Consumption Blocks'is used in a declining block or inverted block rate structure and refers to the amount of
consumption allowed before the price changes to a succeeding price block,The initial block refers to the first price block(e.g.,0
to 5,000 gallons).The tail block refers to the last price block(e.g.,all usage over 5,000 gallons).

SHEEP—
An inverted (increasing or tiered) block rate structure attempts to send a price signal to
consumers that their consumption costs more as more water is consumed. Finally, a seasonal
rate structure is a form of a time-differentiated rate structure in which water consumed in the
summer is priced higher than winter water consumption. This structure typically reflects the
higher costs associated with peak period usage when water supplies may be constrained.
Figure 2 provides a comparison of the volumetric rate structures, as surveyed by the California-
Nevada AWWA 2007 Water Rate Survey.

Reported, 9%

Declining. 2%
This figure indicates that inclining (inverted/tiered) rate structures are the most predominate,
followed by the uniform rate structure. However, across the U.S., volumetric rate structures are
roughly split equally among inclining, declining, and uniform rate structures. The
predominance of inclining block rate structures in California reflects water resource constraints
and California's focus on conservation and efficient use.
The rate structures noted above may be combined to form different rate structures. As an
example, a seasonal inverted block rate structure combines the seasonal rate structure concept
with the inverted block rate structure. A more recent innovation in water rate design is the
concept of a water budget rate structure, which is a form of an inverted block structure where
the block sizes are tailored for each individual customer. The water budget allocation may be
based upon one or several of the following:
• Lot size or size of landscaped area ■ The type of land use (i.e., residential,
• Number of occupants landscape, and commercial)
• Type and size of business
■ Evapotranspiration rate for the billing
period.

It should be noted that water budgets have had limited implementation within the water utility
industry to date, primarily because of the administrative complexity and billing system
software issues.' Because of this, District staff and HDR.have not considered water budgets.
Current Industry Thinking and Trends
The California Urban Water Conservation Council
(CUWCC) was created to increase efficient water use across '
California. CUWCC's goal is to integrate urban water _
conservation Best Management Practices (BMPs) into the ,
planning and management of California's water ,
agencies/utilities-
(:UWCC notes that there currently is no industry
benchmark to determine whether or not a water utility's rate structure is conservation-oriented.
However, CUWCC's best management practices on pricing (BMP 11) define a conservation-
based rate structure as one that, "...provides economic incentives (a price signal) to customers
to use water efficiently." It also notes the following volumetric rate designs are potentially,
consistent with this definition:
N Uniform rate in which the volumetric rate is constant regardless of the quantity
consumed.
N Seasonal rates in which the volumetric rate reflects seasonal variation in water delivery
costs.
N = icred rates in which the volumetric rate increases as the quantity used increases.
N Allocation-based [water budgetl rates in which consumption tiers and respective
volumetric rates are based on water use norms and water delivery costs established by
the utility.
In essence, the CUWCC recommends using, "A quantifiable performance target of 70% that
defines a minimum percentage of water sales revenue from volumetric rates."s
For example,while:the Irvine Ranch Water District has had water budget rates since 1991,only a handful of other
municipalities in California have adopted this rate structure since then.

SECTION 2 - WATER RATE STUDY
As background to this analysis, we note that any comprehensive utility rate study typically
analyzes the three components shown in Figure 3: ■ the overall revenue requirements of the
utility; ■ the cost to serve each customer class; and, finally, ■ the appropriateness of the rate
structure design.

Analysis manner and ensures rates meet Proposition 218
requirements.
R! ate Design Analysis Considers how fixed charges and volume-based rates
are designed to collect the target level of revenues.
This water rate analysis provides these three components, but we note that the design of the
water rates incorporated additional factors, such as an overall rate philosophy that emphasizes
revenue stability, equity among different types of customers, and a greater level of water
conservation (i.e., efficient use).
HDR has developed this water rate analysis using the District's current rate structure, as well as
an inclining block rate structure for single-family customers consisting of three consumption
tiers. Both the adjusted current rate structure and the three-tiered structure were determined
based on industry standards and cost-of-service principles. The following are some of the basic
components included in this analysis:
• Unit Costs: The water revenue requirements were "functionalized" into three categories,
including (1) customer service costs; (2) fixed capacity costs; and (3) variable (or volume-
based) costs. Unit costs for each of these functions were determined based on allocations
to functional areas, water consumption, and number of accounts by meter size and
customer class.9
• Revenue Requirements by Customer Class: The total revenue that should be collected
from each customer class was determined using the unit costs and the total units that

rates.However,water utilities generally develop their own policy and conservation objectives.

each class uses. For example, customer costs are allocated based on number of accounts,
while volume-related costs are allocated based on the water consumption for each class
by meter size.
er I i,wd vs. Variable Costs and Rates: The revenue requirements for each customer class
are collected through a combination of fixed monthly charges and variable rates. Fixed
costs, such. as customer service, billing, and general administrative costs, are typically
collected through a fixed monthly charge, while pumping costs and water supply are
typically collected through volume charges. However, more aggressive water
conservation goals would necessitate a higher percentage of costs being allocated to
variable (volume-based) charges.
The fixed and volume-based charges were calculated based on the net revenue requirements,
number of customer accounts, water consumption, and other District-provided information.

Revenue Requirements - Water Utility
It is important for the District to follow sound financial management practices. This includes
maintain a reasonable operating reserve in order to handle emergencies, fund working capital,
and maintain a good credit rating. HDR has recommended the District use a target of about
three months (or 25 percent) of annual operating expenses. Figure 5 summarizes the sources
and uses of funds, including revenue requirements, for the next three years. A summary of the
proposed water utility 10-year financial plan, including revenue requirements, reserve funds,
revenue sources, and proposed rate increases, is included in Appendix A — Water Rate Study
Summary Tables. Expenditures anticipated in the District's capital improvement program is
presented in Appendix C.
As described earlier, rate increases are governed by the need to meet operating costs, maintain
adequate debt coverage, and build reserve funds. The current state of the District's water
utility, with regard to these objectives is as follows:
• Meeting Operating Costs. For Fiscal Years 2010/11 through 2012/13, the net revenue
requirements (total annual expenses plus debt service and capital costs, less non-rate
revenues) is estimated to be approximately $15.6 million to $17.3 million. This includes
rate-funded capital improvement projects ranging from $0.8 to $1.2 million over these
three years.
• Maintaining Adequate Debt-Service Coverage: Although the District is legally required
to maintain a debt service coverage ratio of at least 1.20, the District's financial advisors
have recommended a target coverage ratio of at least 1.50. The benefit of maintaining a
higher coverage ratio is that it strengthens the District's credit rating, which can help
lower the interest rates for debt-funded capital projects and reduce annual debt service
payments. Neglecting to implement appropriate rate increases in the next three years
will result in a ratio of less than 1.20.
• Building and Maintaining Reserve Funds: Because of the increasing volatility of
consumption-based rate revenue", the District should establish a Rate Stabilization Fund
in addition to Operating and Capital Improvement Reserve Funds. Good management
practice is to keep approximately 15% of anticipated rate revenue in the Rate
Stabilization Fund and 25% of operating expenses in the Operating Reserve. Capital
reserves need to at least meet the annual costs of capital construction projects.
Water customers typically reduce consumption as volume-related costs increase(referred to as the"price-elasticity of
demand").Additionally,while California and the District have suffered drought conditions in recent years, a"wet year"could
result in dramatic reductions in annual water consumption, hence the need to maintain adequate reserve funds.

Comparison of Current and Proposed Water Rate Structures
The process of designing water rates provides the opportunity to incorporate a number of rate-
design objectives and policies, including revenue stability, equity among customer classes, and
water conservation. However, this rate structure design process should also consider and
reflect the District's water consumption patterns.13
All metered accounts, regardless of customer class, are charged a fixed rate based on meter size,
plus a variable rate based on water consumption, as previously shown in Figure 4. The most
recent consumption data for the District by customer class is summarized in Figure 6, while
Figure 7 compares the total annual consumption by customer class. Figure 8 provides a
comparison of the number of accounts by customer class.

system facilities are used in serving single-family customers. They also illustrate that single-
farnily customers have significant summer-time peaking requirements compared to the other
F,) ;f 1/alley Water District Page 13
customer classes. HDR has reflected these factors in this analysis, particularly in the alternative
three-tiered rate structure for single-family customers.
The following subsections present comparisons of the current and proposed rate structures for
each customer class. Projected rates after FY'10-11 assume an across-the-board rate increase
based on the recommended percent increases each year, as previously shown in Figure 4. More
detailed tables on the development of the proposed water rates are documented in Appendix A.
Single Family Residential (SFR)
The District currently charges single-family customers a monthly fixed charge ranging from
$10.45 to $30.30, depending on meter size.14 Current volume charges are $1.35/hundred cubic
feet(hcf) for all customers, including single-family.
Current and proposed single-family water rates were summarized in Figure 4. HDR has
developed two rate structure alternatives for the District to consider. These alternatives are:
• Updating the District's current uniform (single-tier) rate structure
• Adopting a three-der inclining block rate structure
The pros and cons of these two alternatives are presented in Figure 9.

Design Factors for Three-Tier Rates
HDR has developed the three-tiered rates for single-family customers with "break-points" that
define three levels of residential consumption. These levels are based on the following
rationale:
■ -1 icr 1: This first tier is intended to include average domestic (indoor) water use, and,
therefore, excludes landscape and other outside uses. Indoor usage is typically defined
14$10.45 is for a 5/8 or 3/4-inch meter,while$14.63 is for a 1-inch meter.There are also a small number of larger single-family
meters with higher charges.
East Valley Waler District Page 74
�. A"
as average winter usage, since winter is when landscape watering is typically at its
lowest. Based on District consumption records in 2009,Tier 1 covers 0 to 15 hcf.
w I for : The second tier is intended to include usage greater than typical domestic needs
(10 hcf), up to the average summer usage (34 hcf), which includes the highest period of
landscape watering. Tier 2 therefore includes consumption from greater than 15 to 34
hcf.
Pier 3: The third tier includes consumption greater than the average summer-time usage,
and represents consumption that could be considered wasteful or excessive. Tier 3
therefore includes consumption greater than 34 hcf.

Potential Benefits of Three-Tier Rates
Overall, reducing both peak water consumption and total annual water use may reduce District
operating costs by decreasing pumping costs and replacement costs, and delaying or avoiding
capacity-related improvements. In general, HDR would recommend the more conservation-
oriented approach imbedded in the three-tier inclining block rate structure, particularly in light
of the State-wide emphasis on reducing per capita consumption.1s

SECTION 3 - SEWER RATE STUDY
As previously noted (Figure 1), the three things a comprehensive rate study typically analyzes,
which are addressed in this study, are:
• The overall financial requirements of the utility
• The cost to serve each customer class
• The appropriateness of the rate structure
The most distinctive aspect of the District's sewer rates is that they consist of separate rates for:
(1) treatment-related services provided by the City of San Bernardino (City); and (2) collection-
related sewer services provided by the District. The City's rates are not set by the District, but
instead are essentially a "pass-through" to District's sewer customers.16 Because of this, HDR's
sewer rate analysis only addresses collection-related costs provided by the District." The
proposed District rates were developed by evaluating specific components, including:
• Unit Costs: The revenue requirements were "functionalized" into customer service costs
and flow-related costs.18 Unit costs for these functions were determined based on water
consumption and the estimated effluent received at the City's treatment facility.
• Revenue Requirements by Customer Class: The total revenue collected from each
customer class was determined using the unit costs times the total units, such as water
use,number of accounts (or dwelling units), used by each class.
• Fixed vs. Variable Costs and Rates: The revenue requirements for each customer class
are collected through a combination of fixed monthly charges and variable rates,
although the revenues from single-family residential customers are rolled into a single
monthly flat rate. In contrast, commercial revenue requirements are collected through
fixed monthly charges and a volume-based rate tied to their water consumption.
The following sections summarize the results from the sewer rate analysis. More detailed
tables showing the step-by-step development of the analysis are documented in Appendix B
—Sewer Rate Study Summary Tables.
Rate Study Methodology and Assumptions
Although the basic steps in a sewer rate analysis are similar for water and sewer utilities,
whereas water rates focus more on volume-related charges for consumption levels, sewer rates
16 This was the result of a legal settlement in the early 1980's,and the District has no control over City rates.
17 District collection costs in this case also include customer costs related to billing and administrative functions.Therefore,the
District allocates its"collection"costs to customers based on flow and customer costs.
18 Sewer cost-of-service studies normally allocate costs to flow, BOD,TSS and customer costs. Since the City's rates cover BOD
and TSS-related costs,these have been excluded from District's collection-related rates.
East Valley Water District Page 18
incorporate unit costs related to treatment of wastewater effluent. These are generally referred
to as strength factors, and include the following three components:
• Flow (or volume of effluent)
• Biological oxygen demand (BOD)
s Total suspended solids (or TSS)
As mentioned above, the City provides treatment of the District's sewer effluent and establishes
the treatment.related rates charged to District customers and HDR's sewer rate analysis
addresses only the collection system costs. Other than customer costs for billing and
administrative tasks, collection system costs are directly related to the amount of effluent (flow)
generated by sewer customers in the District.
In this analysis, HDR relied on the City's data for the total amount of District effluent treated at
the City's wastewater treatment plant, along with estimated water consumption from District
records. That is, in allocating effluent costs to District customers, HDR calibrated flows from
customer classes to match City flow records (i.e., the estimated effluent received at the City's
plant). In calculating volume-based sewer rates, HDR used estimated water consumption from
District records.19
Revenue Requirements - Sewer Utility
To identify the District's long-term financial needs, HDR developed a 10-year financial plan that
forecasts sewer revenues and expenditures, including reserves. This plan is based on current
District budgets, discussions with District staff, and related information such as debt service
schedules.
In the District's case, revenue requirements are limited to the costs for the collection system,
including customer billing and administrative costs, because the City sets the rates for all
treatment-related services. The City's rates are treated as a pass-through to the District's
customers and the District just adds its collection-related rates to the City's rates.
The District's financial plan addresses three primary components:
is Mceting Operations Costs: The sewer utility must generate enough revenue to cover the
expenses of sewer operations, including administration and accounting, collection
operations, and the wastewater treatment plant costs (the City's costs). For FY 2010/2011,
the net revenue requirement (total annual expenses, including debt service, less non-rate
revenues) is approximately $9.7 million for both treatment and collection, and $3.8
million for collection only.
As noted in the water rate analysis, recent decreases in water consumption have been reflected in proposed water rates.
Similar,/, reduced water consumption levels have been reflected in water usage of District sewer customers.
past Valley Water District Page 19
µ« 'YaLL#bt4 k,
1t ,
• Maintaining Adequate Bond Coverage: The District's bond covenants require the
District to maintain a minimum debt service coverage ratio of 1.20; although, the
District's policy is to have a coverage ratio of at least 1.5.20
• Sustaining Reserve Funds: The sewer utility should maintain separate Operating and
R&R Reserve Funds. The Operating Reserve functions as an emergency reserve, a rate
stabilization fund, and the source of working capital for operations. Year-end surplus
rate revenues are transferred into the operating fund; operating funds in excess of the
target fund reserve are transferred into the R&R reserve. Good management practice is
to keep a minimum balance of 90 days (25%) of the operating budget. HDR has used this
25% as the target for the District's operating reserves.
The District is currently updating its sewer master plan, but is aware that the sewer system will
need significant repairs and replacement over the next 10 years. Current District estimates are
as high as $15 million in total, with a ramping up of R&R/capital improvement costs to about
$1.3 million per year. The District's capital projects include two significant projects:
■ $7 to $10 million for Sewer Main Replacements The District's Sewer Master Plan
identifies sewer mains that are at or near capacity to be completed in summer 2011.
■ $'I million Conejo Ave Sewer Main Replacement - This sewer main is undersized and
highly susceptible to spillage.
Figure 14 summarizes the next three years of the financial plan, showing a more traditional
"sources and uses" of funds, along with the estimated annual surplus or deficiency. A
summary of the entire 10-year financial plan, showing revenue requirements, revenue sources
(including rate revenue), and necessary rate increases is presented in Appendix B. A summary
of the District's capital improvement program is presented in Appendix C.
20 As previously noted,the benefit of maintaining a higher coverage ratio is that it improves the District's credit rating,which
lowers the interest rates for debt-funded capital projects and reduces annual debt service payments.

Based on the forecasts from the 10-year financial plan, the District would need a rate increase of
approximately 9`YO21 to fund repair and replacement costs in FY'10-11 through FY'12-13 without
running a deficit in the Sewer Fund reserves.
Comparison of Current and Proposed Sewer Rate Structures
The District currently combines the City's rates for treatment with the District's rates for
collection services. It also adds a surcharge for customers East of Boulder Avenue to reimburse
the City for costs related to a sewer interceptor serving this area. The "East of Boulder"
customers are primarily single-family customers, who will continue to pay this surcharge for
the foreseeable future. A summary of the preliminary recommended sewer rates resulting from
the cost of service rate analysis is provided in Figure 15 and Figure 16.
21 T!-e se rate increases only refer to District collection-system related costs,not the City of San Bernardino treatment-related
rates.

Single Family Residential Sewer Customers
The District currently charges a monthly flat rate of$10.84 per single family residential account,
plus the treatment charge from the City of $15.25 for a total charge of $26.09 for customers on
the West side of Boulder Avenue. HDR recommends a fixed monthly sewer charge of$28.93, of
which$12.93 is for the collection system, for all single family residential customers. The basis of
the proposed charge is an assumed average monthly consumption of approximately 14 hcf of
water per single family residential customer.22 Figure 17 shows the projected single-family
monthly bills.

SECTION 4 - RECOMMENDATIONS
HER proposes the District take the following actions:
in Di-strict Board Presentation and Review: Both utilities rate study and proposed rates
should be reviewed by the District Board. For the water rate study, the Board needs to
review the merits of uniform (single-tier) and the alternative three-tier rates and choose
between these alternatives. HDR believes the Board should select the three-tiered rate
structure for single-family customers if water conservation in the future is the priority,
and choose uniform rates if minimizing rate structure changes and ease of administration
are the priority. Either would meet the District's overall objectives and provide sufficient
revenues.
rIM :-'cMmplete Public (fearing and Proposition 218 Noticing: To move ahead with adoption
of the proposed rates, the District will need to send out public notices and hold a publiic
hearing in compliance with Proposition 218 requirements.
19 ldopt Recommended Rates and Study Report: Based on the water and sewer rake
analysis provided, the District Board should select, adopt and implement the
recommended rate structures.
IN `i«r iew Rates and Revenue Annually: Any time a utility adopts new rates or rate
structures, the utility should closely monitor annual rate revenue generated to ensure
sufficient revenues are being generated. Changing economic and water consumption
patterns underscore this concept, as well as potential changing revenue requirements,
particularly those related to capital improvements and repair and replacement costs.
Additionally, the District is completing master planning studies and will need to make
adjustments as needed to best accommodate any new capital requirements.
Principal Assumptions and Considerations — In preparing this report and opinions and
recommendations included herein, HDR has relied on a number of principal assumptions and
considerations with regard to financial matters, conditions and events that may occur in the
future. This information and assumptions, including District's budgets and information from
District staff, were provided by sources we believe to be reliable.
While we believe HDR's use of such information and assumptions is reasonable for the purpose
of this report, some assumptions will invariably not materialize as stated herein and may vary
significantly due to unanticipated events and circumstances. Therefore, the actual results can
be expected to vary from those projected to the extent that actual future conditions differ from
Ihose assumed by us or provided to us by others.
