TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Public Utilities Department
DATE: January 20, 2026
SUBJECT: Consider Approval – Final Draft Water Rate Study Report and Authorize Staff to Proceed with a Proposition 218 Public Hearing and Majority Protest Vote to Amend Water Charges, Fees, and Recycled Water Charges.
Staff: Kevin Tuttle, Assistant Public Utilities Director Recommendation: Approval
ATTACHMENTS: 1. Water Rate Study Report Final Draft
RECOMMENDATION
For City Council to authorize staff to proceed with a Proposition 218 public hearing and majority protest proceeding to amend water charges, fees, and recycled water charges in consideration of the final draft water rate study report, and set a public hearing for April 13, 2026.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City’s current water rate and fee structure was approved in April 2016 to meet revenue requirements for operating and maintaining the City’s water system as an enterprise fund and to avoid the need to use the General Fund for the City’s water system. Since 2016, additional operations and maintenance regulatory requirements have been imposed, which have increased the cost of operating and maintaining the water system. Additionally, the City has experienced significant increases in costs over the past five years due to inflation and other factors related to cost increases in labor, capital , and material components for operating the water system . The City has also determined the need for funding to replace aging infrastructure and provide redundancy for critical infrastructure to adequately maintain the water system.
The Five-Year Forecast projects a need to generate necessary revenue to maintain required working capital and to set aside funds for near-term and future capital projects necessary to keep the water system running effectively and efficiently . Additionally, recent court decisions have necessitat ed a review of the current water rate structure and have shown structural changes are needed to the water rates to remain compliant with prevailing legal challenges. The City’s Water Rate Study consultant, Raftelis, evaluated the existing rate structure an d worked 16 AGENDA ITEM NO. 5.
with staff over the past year and a half to develop potential revenue scenarios that meet the City’s financial and water system needs, while also ensuring compliance with applicable legal requirements governing water rates, including Proposition 218 and related statutory provisions.
The report (Attachment 1) makes recommendations to address revenue shortfalls to sustainably maintain the Water Enterprise Fund.
BACKGROUND
The 2016 Water Rate Report recommended tiered water rates based on a revised cost of service analysis. This report was largely generated in light of the San Juan Capistrano court decision in 2015, which ruled the City of San Juan Capistrano failed to show the cost of providing water to high-usage customers increased proportionally with consumption. Since that time, a 2024 decision in Coziahr v . Otay Water District concluded that the Otay Water District failed to demonstrate that higher tiers incur a proport ionally higher cost to provide similar service.
Effectively, this decision stated that data used for tiered water rates must be based on actual data of the agency, not industry standards . Similarly, in Patz v. City of San Diego (2025) , the court ruled that rates must be based on the actual cost to provide service at each tiered rate.
These decisions reinforce the need to reassess and potentially remove tiered water rate structures.
Since the 2016 Water Rate Report and adjustments made to water rates in 2017, inflation from the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have increased project costs significantly. To ensure compliance with the court decisions mentioned above relating to tiered water rates, and to address projected revenue shortfalls due to additional regulatory requirements, higher costs of operating the water system than projected in 2016, and funds needed for future capital, maintenance, operations, and projects related to compliance with the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA), staff retained the services of a consultant, Raftelis, to conduct a comprehensive water rate study to provide a review of the current Water Enterprise Fund’s financial structure.
Raftelis’s work consisted of providing a financial plan that meets the City’s revenue requirements, while also providing a cost -of-service analysis that bases the rate recommendations on the realities of current water utility needs. Staff’s core criteria for the updated rate structure were: 1) the rates are legally defensible within the current confines of applicable case law and Proposition 218, and 2) the rate s meet the revenue requirements for maintenance and operations of a sustainable water system.
The development of the water r ate study consisted of documenting revenue requirements to meet needs for maintenance and operations, establishing a funding mechanism for needed capital improvement projects, and maintaining current levels of reserve funding. The cost of service is then developed by:
Separating revenue needs based on supply, customer service, metering, etc. Allocating those revenue needs to their appropriate cost basis, such as volume, bills, and equivalent meters.
Determining a cost-per-unit of service, such as equivalent meters, number of customers, or number of bills.
17 AGENDA ITEM NO. 5.
Distributing the developed cost to each customer class using the unit costs and the proportional impact of each customer class on the system.
The rates are then designed based on the cost of service and the revenue requirements. Finally, a report is prepared that serves as the administrative record and support document to meet the requirements of Proposition 218.
The rate shown in this report provide s the necessary funding for maintenance and ope rations, and phases the increase to rates over three consecutive years (2027-2029) to close the financial gap identified in the report. Rate increases return to the standard 3% escalation in the subsequent years. Staff believes the proposed rate structure is necessary and appropriate to meet future revenue requirements of the Water Enterprise Fund, and recommend Council initiate the Proposition 218 proceedings to increase water rates and fees.
The proposed rate structure as shown below would begin on January 1, 2027 and continue for three consecutive calendar years as follows:
CY2027 – 21%
CY2028 – 21%
CY2029 – 18% and additional 3% effective July 1, 2029
Overall average increase in the first year would be about 21%, with each customer class being affected by differing percentages due to the removal of tiers and other adjustments to the structure of the water rates to be compliant with current law. Rates in the y ears following the initial 3-year period would be authorized to increase at an escalator of 3%, which has historically been the City’s practice. These increases would follow in the same manner as the Solid Waste and Sewer Enterprise accounts, where Council will evaluate staff’s recommendations during the annual budget cycle to determine if the authorized increase is required for the upcoming budget.
The authorized 3% annual increase in subsequent years is intended to limit larger future rate increases, allow for the funding of major infrastructure maintenance projects, and allow the Water Enterprise Fund to maintain adequate reserve levels to help mitigate future market and cost fluctuations.
PROPOSITION 218 PROCEDURES
Per the requirements of Proposition 218, the City is required to provide a 45-day notice and hold a public hearing where a majority protest proceeding is conducted. Staff will prepare public notices that will be mailed to all property owners of parcels receiving service and paying current water fees. The notices will include informa tion about the public hearing time and place, the amount of the fees, the basis of the fees, and the reasons for the increases. All protests to the rate increases must be in writing, and they must identify the property affected, be signed by the property owner or tenant, and be clear that they are protesting the increases. Protests must be received by the City prior to the closing of the public hearing. Protests will be accepted from either the tenant or property owner , but only one protest per property wil l be counted. E -mails will not be accepted as there is no legal method for signing. The protests will be confidential until tabulated and may be withdrawn by the signatory of the protest prior to the close of the hearing.
The City Clerk will tabulate the n umber of protests and verify their validity. If more than half of 18 AGENDA ITEM NO. 5.
the total number of properties in the City protests the rate increases, the rates cannot be approved.
PROPOSED RATE STRUCTURE
The proposed water rates are included in Table 2 and Table 3 on the following page s. This includes the three-year consecutive rate increases, as well as a 3% increase in following years, should those be necessary. The study also evaluated drought rate surcharges, which allow the City to maintain adequate cash flow during times of reduced water use in a State -mandated drought reduction period.
This study provided a review of other miscellaneous costs and fees that are charged through the Water Enterprise Fund, including the following:
Private Fireline Costs. For private firelines, the American Water Works Association manual recommends firelines be billed according to the service line connection, and staff believes this approach for rate setting is appropriate. Construction Water Costs. Construction water costs were previously billed based on the unmetered Tarpey Village water use rate. This previous billing was based on a 1 -inch meter and 63,000 gallons of usage. As all customers are now metered, a new cost was derived for construction water and is billed as a 1-inch water service at 60,000 gallons of usage per bill.
Hydrant Meters. Hydrant meters are billed on a monthly basis and based on a 2-inch water service. Volumetric rates are the same as commercial and landscape customers. Recycled Water Rates. Recycled water rates were also updated as part of this study, including the pressurized and non-pressurized systems.
19 AGENDA ITEM NO. 5.
20 AGENDA ITEM NO. 5.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed rates are designed to address the increasing cost of operations, maintenance, planned infrastructure, and projects related to compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements, including SGMA, and to provide a fiscally responsible financial plan for funding necessary improvements to aging infrastructure. The increase in rates allows for continued operational cost coverage, addresses debt service, provides for capital improvements, and maintains necessary operational reserves for future un certainties. The proposed rate increase also provides debt service coverage necessary to satisfy bonding requirements, should those become necessary in the future.
This rate study also includes similar provisions to 2016 that allow for continued 3% increases anticipated to start in Fiscal Year 29/30. These incremental increases help alleviate the need for periodic large rate increases. Under normal circumstances, these modest increases allow revenues to keep up with the in crease in standard energy and material costs, like chemicals, fuel, vehicles, and personnel costs. Ideally, the smaller increases help reduce the need for larger increases over time. This strategy has been adopted previously by Council for both the Water and Sewer Enterprise Funds.
Finally, the chart below includes a bill comparison example, comparing an average current water bill to the future water bill for the same service after the proposed first year (21%) initial rate increase. The current estimated water rate s for other local agencies are also included for comparison. Note that these bill estimates were generated for comparison purposes and are based on the best publicly available information. The City of Clovis is likely to be in the lower half of the identified cities, even after the proposed increase.
21 AGENDA ITEM NO. 5.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
The City is required to comply with State law regarding implementation of water rates and fees, and the City must simultaneously ensure the adequacy of the Water Enterprise Fund.
Accordingly, a thorough Water Rate Study analysis was completed by Raftelis . The proposed rate structure meet s the legal requirements and address es the financial needs of the Water Enterprise Fund. Although the study proposes increasing rates for three consecutive years, the City of Clovis still remains very competitive with other local water agencies.
ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
Staff will send out notices to all affected property owners, as well as customers who are tenants.
This will include information regarding the water rate adjustments and the opportunity to protest the fees in accordance with Proposition 218. Staff anticipates bringing a proposed ordinance to Council in Fall 2026. The tentative schedule is outlined below:
January 20, 2026: Authorize staff to proceed with a Proposition 218 hearing February 2026: Mail written notices to all affected property owners & rate-paying tenants April 13, 2026 (Tentative): Conduct a Proposition 218 hearing Fall 2026: Municipal Code update

ar Mr. Tuttle,
Ra
ftelis is pleased to provide this Water Cost of Service and Rate Study Report to the City of Clovis. This report presents the analyses, rationales, and methodologies utilized in the study to determine cost of service-based water rates that meet the requirements of California Constitution Article XIII D, Section 6 (commonly referred to as Proposition 218).
Th
e study's major objectives included:
» Develop a five-year financial plan to ensure financial sufficiency, meet operating costs, fund the long -term capital improvement plan, satisfy debt service coverage requirements, and maintain target reserves. » Complete a cost-of-service analysis to ensure rates are proportionate to the costs of serving each customer class.
» Review the City’s existing water rate structure and recommend changes as necessary to ensure that proposed rates achieve financial sufficiency.
» Develop a five-year schedule of water rates that are fair, equitable, and compliant with Proposition 218 requirements.
It ha
s been a pleasure working with you, and we thank you and other City staff for the support provided to Raftelis during this study.

WATER RATE STUDY 1
Executive Summary
INTRODUCTION
The City of Clovis (City) retained Raftelis to conduct a comprehensive financial planning, cost of service, and rate design study for its water utility. The City’s overall objectives for this study included:
» Develop a multi-year financial plan for FY 2026 through FY 2031 (study period), for the City’s water enterprise and capital funds to ensure that revenues from rates, fees, and charges are sufficient to cover annual operating expenses, the capital improvement program net of bond and loan proceeds and meet the City’s reserve and debt service coverage requirements.
» Complete a comprehensive cost of service analysis to determine the cost to provide service to each customer class.
» Review and update the water rate structure to meet this City’s objectives and comply with Proposition 218, AB 755, and SB 1157.
STUDY FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
Financial Plan
Projected water sales revenues at existing rates will be inadequate to meet the water utility’s revenue requirements throughout the Study Period. Table 1 shows the recommended rate revenue adjustments necessary to meet the forecasted revenue requirements. These adjustments are required to pay for future water utility operating expenses, fund the capital improvement program, provide adequate reserves, and satisfy debt service coverage requirements throughout the Study Period.
Table 1: Proposed Water Rate Adjustments
Cost of Service
Raftelis completed a comprehensive cost of service analysis to determine the cost to provide service to customer classes. The cost-of-service analysis is a multi-step process which considers the volume of water by class, class peak rates of demand, number of customers, and other relevant factors. The underlying principle in cost allocation is to convert the test year revenue requirement into costs that best reflect the costs associated with customer water demands placed on the system. Those costs are proportionally allocated to customer classes based on the costs of delivering water service to each class of customers. Customer service characteristics that contribute to costs include average day, peak day and peak hour demands, the number of accounts, and the number of equivalent meters.

WATER RATE STUDY 1
Rate Design
The primary objective of the utility cost of service analysis and rate design is to develop rates and charges that will meet, as nearly as practical, the cost of providing service for each customer class while not exceeding the proportional costs of delivering service to each parcel. A rate structure for each individual customer would place a financial and administrative burden on the utility’s resources. Instead, grouping customers into classes based on the costs to deliver water service to each class is a more manageable and practical method. The existing rate study consists of a bimonthly service charge which varies by class and by meter size.
Existing Rates
The residential class includes single family, multifamily, and mobile home customers. It also includes customers served outside the City limits in Tarpey Village. Tarpey Village consists of three residential customer classes; metered residential, non-metered residential, and non-metered large lot residential. Metered residential customers are assessed a per-dwelling unit service charge that does not vary by meter size and a tiered volume charge based on use. Tarpey Village non-residential large lot rate customers are assessed a service charge based on square footage. Tarpey Village non-metered customers are charged a fixed service charge. All Tarpey non-metered residential and non-metered large lot customers will have transitioned to metered service by the time of the FY27 rate implementation.
The commercial class includes commercial and industrial customers who are assessed a service charge based on meter size and a tiered volume charge based on use. Recycled water customers are assessed a service charge by meter size and a volume charge based on pressurized or non-pressurized use. Private firelines are assessed a service charge that does not vary by line size. Construction water accounts are temporary, unmetered customers that use water service for homes under construction. Construction water is assessed a service charge equal to the Tarpey un- metered service charge. Hydrant meter rates are assessed a service charge plus a volume rate for all usage.
Proposed Rates
The customer classes for the proposed rates have been reclassified to apply to three classes: potable retail users, recycled water users, and private fire capacity users. Service charges apply to each class based on meter size or fireline size, as applicable. To ensure that all customers are assessed a proportionate share of costs to provide service, volume rates now apply uniformly to each type of water use: potable, recycled, pressurized, and recycled non-pressurized.
The potable retail class combines the existing residential, commercial, and landscape customers into one class that is assessed a service charge that varies by meter size and a uniform volume rate.
The recycled water class is assessed a service charge that varies by meter size and a volume rate based on whether the use is pressurized or non-pressurized. The private fire capacity class is assessed a stand-by charge that varies by fireline size. Raftelis proposes that proposed construction water charges for FY27 through FY31 be based on the 1” meter service charge plus 60,000 gallons of water use at the proposed volume rates. Hydrant meter rates will increase at the same percentage as the annual financial plan increases.
Table 2 on the following page compares the existing and proposed cost of service rates for the study period.

Introduction
The City of Clovis provides water service to approximately 40,600 potable and non -potable customers. Potable customers include single family residential customers, multifamily residential customers, mobile home customers, and commercial and industrial customers. Recycled water customers are served by the pressurized system or through unpressurized gravity flows. The City’s water system consists of wells, a surface water treatment plant (WTP), storage tanks and an integrated distribution system network. The WTP has a capacity of 22.5 million gallons per day (mgd), the water system’s 37 wells have a combined total capacity of 31,740 gallons per minute (gpm). The water system has three storage tanks, and three booster pump stations. The distribution system contains 585 miles of mains. The City’s recycled water system currently has 42 miles of distribution mains serving 133 connections at 69 sites. This overview is based on data provided by the City.

LEGAL REQUIREMENTS
California Constitution - Article XIII D, Section 6 (Proposition 218) Proposition 218, reflected in the California Constitution as Article XIII D, was enacted in 1996 to ensure that rates and fees are reasonable and proportional to the cost of providing service. The principal requirements, as they relate to public water service, are as follows:
1. The revenues derived from a property-related charge (such as water rates) shall not exceed the costs required to provide the property-related service.
2. Revenues derived by the charge shall not be used for any purpose other than that for which the charge was imposed.
3. The amount of the charge imposed upon any parcel shall not exceed the proportional cost of service attributable to the parcel.
4. No charge may be imposed for a service unless that service is actually used or immediately available to the owner of the property.
5. No fee or charge may be imposed for general government services.
6. A written notice of the proposed charge shall be mailed to the owner of record of each parcel at least 45 days prior to the public hearing, at which the agency shall consider all written protests against the charge.
7. If written protests against the proposed fee or charge are presented by a majority of owners of the affected parcels, the agency shall not impose the proposed fee or charge.
As stated in the American Water Works Association's (AWWA) Principles of Water Rates, Fees, and Charges: Manual of Water Supply Practices - M1 Seventh Edition (Manual M1), "water rates and charges should be recovered from classes of customers in proportion to the cost of serving those customers .” Raftelis follows industry-standard rate-setting methodologies set forth by the AWWA Manual M1 to ensure this s tudy meets Proposition 218 requirements and establishes rates that do not exceed the proportionate cost of providing water services on a parcel basis.
To preclude costly legal challenges, the state legislature has enacted legislation that can be included with the Proposition 218 Notices that provide a limited time to challenge rates.
1. Limitation to Rate Challenges - Pursuant to California Government Cost Section 53759, there is a 120-day statute of limitations for judicially challenging rates from the date the legislative body adopts the resolution approving rates.
2. Exhaustion of Administrative Remedies - Pursuant to California Government Code Sections 53759.1 and 53759.2, if the local agency meets the all of the requirements specified in section 53759.1 a person or entity will be prohibited from bringing a judicial action or proceeding alleging that the proposed rates do not comply with Proposition 218 unless that person or entity has submitted a written objection to the proposed rates in response to the Proposition 218 Notice. This is known as an Exhaustion of Administrative Remedies requirement and is separate from the Proposition 218 majority Protest process.
California Constitution Article X, Section 2
California Constitution Article X, Section 2 mandates that water resources be put to beneficial use and that the waste or unreasonable use of water be prevented through conservation. Section 106 of the Water Code declares that the highest priority use of water is for domestic purposes, with irrigation secondary. Thus, the management of water resources is part of the property-related service provided by public water suppliers to ensure the resource is available over time.

WATER RATE STUDY 3
RATE-SETTING METHODOLOGY
This study was conducted using industry-standard principles outlined by the AWWA Manual. The process and approach Raftelis utilized in the study to determine water rates is informed by the City’s policy objectives, the current water system and rates, and the legal requirements in California that include Proposition 218. The resulting financial plan, cost of service analysis, and rate design process followed five key steps, outlined below, to determine the proposed rate struture that fulfills the City’s objectives, meets industry standards, and compl ies with all relevant regulations.
1. Financial Plan: The first study step was to develop a multi-year financial plan that projects the City’s water related revenues, expenses, capital project financing, annual debt service, and reserve funding. The financial plan was used to determine the revenue adjustment, the difference between the revenues generated by the exisiting rate structure and the revenue requirement (as described below).
2. Revenue Requirement: After completing the financial plan, the revenue requirement was determined for the test year, also known as the rate -setting year. The test year used for this study is FY 202 7. The revenue requirement is the amount needed to sufficiently fund the City’s water related operating costs, annual debt service (including coverage requirements), capital expenditures, and reserve funding as projected based on the annual budget estimates.
3. Cost of Service Analysis: The revenue requirement is distributed to customer classes commensurate with their use of and burden on the water system and the proportional costs of providing service to each customer class. A cost-of-service analysis involves the following steps:
» Functionalize costs – the different components of the revenue requirement are categorized into functions such as supply, customer service, etc.
» Allocate to cost causation components – the functionalized costs are allocated to cost causation components such as volume, bills, equivalent meters, etc. » Develop unit costs – unit costs for each cost causation component are determined using units of service, such as total use, equivalent meters, number of customers, etc., for each component. » Distribute cost components – the cost components are allocated to each customer class using the unit costs in proportion to their demand and burden on the system.
4. Rate Design: After allocating the revenue requirement to each customer class, the project team designs and calculates rates. This process also includes a rate impact analysis and sample customer bill impacts.
5. Administrative Record (Report) Preparation and Rate Adoption: The administrative record is developed in conjunction with the rate adoption process. This rate study report serves as the administrative record for this study. The administrative record documents the study results and presents the methodologies, rationale, justifications, and calculations used to determine the proposed rates. A thorough and methodological administrative record serves two important functions: maintaining defensibility in a string ent legal environment and communicating the rationale for revenue adjustments and proposed rates to customers and key stakeholders.
RELIANCE ON CITY PROVIDED DATA
During this project, the City (and/or its representatives) provided Raftelis with a variety of technical information, including cost and revenue data. Raftelis reviewed the data provided for reasonableness but did not independently assess or test for the accuracy of such data – historic or projected. Raftelis has relied on this data in the formulation 34 AGENDA ITEM NO. 5.
WATER RATE STUDY 4
of our findings and subsequent recommendations, as well as in the preparation of this report. Raftelis also relied on cost allocation data provided by the City needed to complete the cost-of-service analysis.
There are often differences between actual and projected data. Some of the assumptions used for projections in this report will not be realized, and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur. Therefore, there are likely to be differences between the data or results projected in this report and actual results achieved, and those differences may be material. As a result, Raftelis takes no responsibility for the accuracy of data or projections provided by or prepared on behalf of the City, nor do we have any responsibility for updating this report for events occurring after the date of this report.
In conducting the cost-of-service analysis, Raftelis reviewed the books, records, agreements, capital improvement programs, customer sales, and financial projections for the City's water system. The documents, information and data were provided to the consultant by the City. Raftelis also conferred with City staff, including finance, planning, and engineering staff. Per capita demands from customers are projected to decrease in alignment with “Making Conservation a California Way of Life Regulations” being implemented over the course of the study period.
In the study, Raftelis made rate calculations using the best estimates of the City's expected costs, planned capital improvements, and future customer demands. Making such calculations in advance is normal for public water providers because providers need to recover revenue matched to public budgets adopted in advance of their fiscal periods. For this reason, and others, achieving mathematical exactitude in rate calculations is impossible. Instead, there are methods and techniques available to water providers that yield reasonable proportionality between the costs incurred to provide water service and the demand for that service.

Financial Plan
INTRODUCTION
The City’s water utility is a self-supporting enterprise fund. The City has one combined fund which includes four subfunds.
» Capital cash flow. Tracks financial activities associated with non-growth capital funding and spending. The primary sources of revenue are transfers from the operating fund. The primary uses of funds are capital repair and replacement projects (CIP), and payments on existing and proposed debt service. » Operating cash flow. Tracks financial activities associated with operating and maintaining the water utility on a daily basis. Primary sources of funds are rate revenue, other non-rate revenue, and transfers from the general fund. Uses of funds consist of operations and maintenance expenses (O&M), transfers to the capital fund, and transfers to reserve funds
» Development impact fee fund. Tracks financial activities associated with funding growth-related projects.
Primary sources are development impact fees and revenue bonds. Primary uses include growth-related capital projects and debt service associated with those projects. » Reserve funds. This fund tracks activities associated with funding various operating and capital programs.
Reserves have been set aside for the water treatment plant membrane replacement, maintaining a drought contingency, funding for future SGMA projects, and funding for TCP treatment. These reserves are funded primarily through operating revenues, including rate revenue.
This report focuses on the capital and operating funds because these financial activities are associated with the revenue requirements used in the cost-of-service analysis. The operating fund does account for the reserve fund requirements through transfers out to that fund. These transfers are captured as part of the revenue requirement.
Detailed O&M, CIP, and cash flow tables are included in Appendix A.
FINANCIAL PLAN
Capital Fund Cash Flow
Beginning Balance
The FY25 beginning balance is assumed to be $7.1 million.
Sources of Funds
Sources of funds consist primarily of transfers from the operating fund. Transfers are projected to increase from approximately $3.8 million in FY27 to $12.7 million in FY31 to fund capital repair and replacement projects.
There are no bond or loan issues proposed during the study period.
Uses of Funds
The City has several capital improvement projects anticipated over the study period. Major projects include main replacement, water treatment plant upgrades, storage improvements and other miscellaneous projects.

Capital Reserves
Capital reserves are an industry best practices considering the significant level of capital infrastructure required to collect, treat, and deliver water to customers. Capital reserves are established to provide a utility with sufficient funds to meet unanticipated capital needs, such as an infrastructure failure or unexpected repair and replacement project costs. Capital reserve targets can be defined in several ways given that capital expenditures generally fluctuate more than operating costs on a year-to-year basis. Utilities tend to choose targets they find reasonably easy to administer, and that differ depending on where the utilities are in their infrastructure lifecycle. For example, one utility may not have experienced major growth for years and has largely depreciated its assets, another may have more recently constructed facilities, and another utility may be rapidly growing and has just built a new treatment plant.
A common capital reserve target is one year of depreciation expense. Based on the projected depreciation expense, the target capital reserve increases from approximately $3.5 million in FY25 to $4.5 million in FY31. Table 5 summarizes the capital fund cash flow required to meet the target capital reserve.

Operating Fund Cash Flow
Beginning Balance
The projected FY25 beginning fund balance is assumed to be $22.7 million.
Revenues
Operating revenue is derived from water rates, investment income, transfers in, and other non-rate revenues.
Water sales revenue under current rates is based on the projected number of water accounts and water usage amounts for each customer class. Revenue under existing rates is projected to range from $21.5 million in FY25 to $23.6 million in FY31 based on projected annual customer growth of approximately 2.0%. Other sources of non- operating revenues include a periodic annual $700,000 transfer from the general fund for repayment of an interfund loan that will continue annually through the entire study period. Transfers in from the drought contingency reserve fund are scheduled in FY25 through FY27 which total $2.6 million. Investment income is projected to average approximately $732,000 annually. Investment income projections are based on the average fund balance of the operating fund and the various reserve funds.
Revenue Requirements
Revenue requirements include operation and maintenance expense (O&M), transfers to the capital fund, debt transfers to the development impact fee fund, transfers to reserve funds, funding the operating reserve and meeting debt service coverage requirements.
O&M consists of personnel, professional and contractual services, repairs and maintenance, materials and supplies.
O&M is projected to increase from $26.6 million in FY25 to $31.3 million in FY31. Transfers to the capital fund are projected to occur annually starting in FY27 to provide funding for projects such as the Surface Water Treatment Plant upgrades. Transfers to the development impact fee fund are projected to occur annually during the study period until FY28 when the revenue refunding bonds mature. The revenue refunding bond debt service is projected to be paid 25% from the operating fund and 75% from the developer impact fee fund. These debt service payments made from the operating fund are projected to average $730,000 annually until maturity.

Operating Reserve
A minimum operating reserve equal to 90 days of operating expenses is recommended, which is typical in the industry and for a utility of this size.
Debt Service Coverage
The City has one outstanding issue of water revenue bonds, the 2023 Water Revenue Refunding Bonds, which were issued to refund the City’s 2013 water revenue bonds. The City funds 25% of the debt service payments on the refunding bonds from rate and other operating revenues and the remaining 75% from development impact fees.
Bond covenants require a minimum debt service coverage of 1.25x refunding bond debt service. The refunding bonds mature in FY28. Debt service coverage is projected to be adequate through the study period.
Indicated Water Sales Revenue Adjustments
Water rate revenue must be sufficient to meet revenue requirements, maintain adequate reserves, and comply with bond covenants. To achieve these goals, an annual adjustment of 21% is required to meet the FY27 revenue requirements, followed by an annual increase of 21% for the FY28 revenue requirements and 18% for the FY29 revenue requirements. Equal annual adjustments of 3% are projected to be required to meet the FY30 and FY31 revenue requirements. Table 6 summarizes the operating fund cash flow.

Cost of Service Analysis
INTRODUCTION
Equitable water rates fairly recover the costs required to provide service to each respective customer class.
Determination of cost of service requires accounting for the volume of water used by the class, class peak rates of demand, the number of customers within the class, and other relevant factors.
The cost-of-service analysis is conducted for a test year which is considered representative of the period in which resultant rates are expected to be in effect. The year 2027 was selected as the test year for this study.
COST OF SERVICE PROCESS
The cost-of-service process assigns costs based on each customer class’s proportionate share of water demands and number of customers. The cost-of-service analysis consists of the following nine steps:
1. Determine the test year rate revenue at existing rates
2. Determine the test year revenue requirement
3. Functionalize the revenue requirement
4. Allocate functionalized costs to cost components
5. Determine the total system units of service
6. Determine the unit costs of service
7. Determine customer class units of service
8. Distribute costs to customer classes
9. Design rates to recover class cost-of-service and the total revenue requirement
FY27 REVENUE AT CURRENT RATES
Raftelis developed FY27 rate revenue projections at existing rates using detailed billing records provided by the City based on the current number of customers by meter size and class, projected use per account and growth in the number of accounts by class. The FY27 revenue projected to be generated by the existing rates is shown in Table 8.
This projection of revenue generated by the existing rates serves as the basis for determining the FY27 revenue requirement. Projections are also used in the units of service analysis.

TEST YEAR REVENUE REQUIREMENT
Table 9 shows the components of the revenue requirement for 2027. As shown in the table below, the revenue requirement is the sum of operating and maintenance expense, debt service, capital R&R projects, DIF debt service transfers and transfers to reserves (Lines 1 through 6). Adjustments to the revenue requirement are made to account for miscellaneous revenues, interfund debt repayment, reserve transfers, interest income, and operating reserve increases (Lines 7 through 12). The individual revenue requirements for Operating and Capital, respectively, are shown on Line 13. The total net revenue requirement is shown on Line 14.
Table 9: Test Year Revenue Requirement
REVENUE REQUIREMENT ALLOCATION
The underlying principle in cost allocation is to convert the test year revenue requirement into costs that best reflect the cost associated with customer water demands placed on the system. Those costs are proportionally allocated to customer classes based on their respective customer class units of service to determine class cost of service.
Customer class units of service include average day, peak day, and peak hour demands, the number of equivalent meters, and the number of bills.
Functional Cost Components
Water systems are comprised of several facilities (unit processes or functions) that are designed and operated to collect, treat, and distribute water to customers. The separation of costs into functional components provides a means for distributing costs to customer classes based on their respective proportional costs to service.
O&M Functional Costs

the applicable year. Table 10 shows the FY27 O&M revenue requirement allocated to functional categories. The allocation of O&M to functional cost categories is based on an evaluation of each O&M line item assigned to a functional category most aligned with that expense. Raftelis provided guidance on this approach but ultimately relied on the City’s expertise in assigning the O&M costs to the functional cost categories. Table 10 summarizes the functional O&M costs for the FY27 test year.
Table 10: Test Year O&M Functional Allocation
Capital Functional Costs
Table 11 shows the FY27 capital cost revenue requirements allocated to the functional cost categories based on the proportionate value of assets. The value of water system assets provides a reasonable basis for allocating the expenses in the capital cost categories to the cost components. Annual capital improvement program costs vary significantly from year to year as well as project types which may cause fluctuation in future cost of service analysis. Allocating the test year capital costs on a project-by-project basis alone may result in a distribution of cost allocations that can fluctuate significantly from year to year. Therefore, Raftelis allocated the capital cost categories based on the value of existing assets, plus project additions from the City’s capital improvement program.

Table 11: Test Year Capital Cost Functional Allocation
Allocation Factors
Water systems are designed and operated to meet the average and peak demands of their customers. Therefore, data on annual consumption and peak demand contributions are needed to allocate costs equitably among customer classes. Since customers do not exert their maximum demand for water at the same time, water facilities are designed to meet the coincidental demands on the system. Using system peak demands to average demand ratios provides a means for distributing costs equitably to customer classes.
For every facility on the system, there is an underlying average demand, or uniform rate of usage, exerted coincidentally by customers for which the average day cost component applies. Certain facilities are operated and designed to meet the demand above the average day demand or maximum day extra-capacity demand. Costs associated with those facilities are allocated to both the average day and maximum day cost components.
Similarly, other facilities are designed to meet demands in excess of maximum day requirements or maximum hour extra-capacity. Costs associated with these facilities are allocated to the average day, maximum day, and maximum hour cost components.
The ratio of maximum day and average day demand is used to allocate costs between average day and maximum day cost components. A maximum day to average day ratio of 1.7 is used based on the City most recent Water Master Plan (WMP). This indicates approximately 58.8% of the capacity of facilities designed and operated for maximum day demand is needed for average day demands use. Accordingly, the remaining 41.2% is for maximum day extra-capacity requirements.
A ratio of maximum hour to average day water use of 3.0 was used based on the City’s WMP ratio of maximum hour demand to maximum day demand of 1.30. This ratio indicates approximately 33.3% of the capacity of facilities designed and operated for maximum hour demand is needed for average day demands, approximately
23.3% is required to meet maximum day extra-capacity demand, and the remaining approximately 43.3% is for maximum hour extra-capacity demand. These ratios are used to allocate the line item functionalized costs to cost components. Other cost allocations are based on the allocation of all other categories. Table 12 shows the development of the percent allocation of system maximum day demands and maximum hour demands.

Table 12: Development of System Demand Factors
Other revenue requirements can be directly assigned to specific cost components. Billing and administrative costs such as meter reading are allocated directly to the billing cost component. Indirect expenditures not specifically assigned are allocated in proportion to all other operations and maintenance cost components.
Allocation of Functionalized Costs
Once costs have been separated by function, they can be further allocated to cost components using the demand factors identified above. Allocating costs to cost components provides a means of assigning functionalized costs based on the design and functional parameters that facility serves in the system. Functionalized costs are grouped under two categories: volume and customer. Volume cost components include average day demand, peak rates of demand. Customer costs include meters and services, billing, reserve capacity, and public fire capacity costs. This allocation approach is referred to as the base-extra capacity method of allocating costs. This is the most common method to allocating revenue requirements in the cost-of-service process. Below is a definition of the customer service characteristics.
Volume Cost Components
Water utility costs are allocated to customer classes based on their demand patterns, which dictate the necessary system infrastructure and operations. This methodology categorizes costs into three components:
• Average Day: Covers costs for average daily water usage and the system's fundamental size required to meet it.
• Maximum (max) day extra capacity: Accounts for costs to meet daily demands in excess of average day demands.
• Maximum (max) hour extra capacity: Covers costs for the highest, short-term hourly peak demands placed on the system.
These max day and max hour components are calculated using system-wide demand factors to allocate costs incurred for supporting peak demands. These terms refer to the system's design and operational capacity needed for different demand levels, not specific usage times. The significant incremental costs of building and operating facilities to handle above-average demands are assigned to the max day and max hour components. This ensures customers who place higher demands on the system contribute proportionally to the cost of the expanded infrastructure needed to serve them.

Functional O&M costs are generally allocated to the cost components that best reflect the design or functional parameter associated with that facility’s expense. For example, water supply costs are allocated to the base or average day costs as source of supply facilities are designed to meet average day demands. Pump stations are designed to meet maximum day demands. These costs are allocated to the average day and maximum day cost components. Similarly, wells and treatment, and transmission mains are designed to meet maximum day demand.
Treated storage and distribution main facilities are designed to meet maximum hour demands. These costs are allocated to the average day, maximum day, and maximum hour cost components. Meter repair is associated with repair and replacement of customer meters. These costs are allocated directly to the meters and services cost component.
Water system assets provide a reasonable basis for allocating annual capital costs. The wells, treatment, pumping, and transmission facilities are designed to meet the peak demands on the system. These costs are allocated to the average day and maximum day cost component. Treated storage and distribution mains are designed to meet maximum hour demands. These costs are allocated to the average day, maximum day, and maximum hour demands. Other costs not specifically allocated are allocated in proportion to all other assets.
Customer Cost Components
Customer costs are those costs directly related with serving customers irrespective of any water use. Customer costs include the following categories:
• Meters and Services. Costs associated with reading meters, servicing meters, and field service calls to customers. Meter and services costs increase by meter size based on the assumption that as meter sizes increase, the more capacity must be available for the customer at any point in time. • Billing Costs. Costs associated with billing customers. This includes billing representatives, IT costs, and some general administrative costs related to billing services. • Reserve Capacity. This represents the portion of customer stand-by capacity costs. • Public Fire Capacity. This recovers the costs of providing public fire water capacity to all customers connected to the system. These costs include the capacity requirement to meet the specific fire flow design requirements of the system and the cost of maintaining fire hydrants.
Table 13 summarizes the allocated revenue requirement for operation and maintenance expenses reflecting the allocation of functionalized cost analysis discussed above. The allocated operation and maintenance revenue requirement can then be distributed to customer classes based on their proportionate share of total customer service characteristics. Additional details on the allocation of revenue to the cost causation components is found in the Appendix.

With assistance from City staff, Raftelis adjusted the allocated revenue requirement to recover a portion of the maximum hour extra capacity costs in the customer reserve capacity cost component. To avoid recovering a portion of public fire capacity costs in the reserve capacity component, the public fire capacity maximum hour extra capacity costs and hydrant-related costs are combined and shown as a separate line item. These combined costs are recovered in the customer cost component. Table 15, column b shows the reallocation of public fire capacity.

Customer Class Units of Service
The units of service form the basis for allocating costs to different customer classes. Each customer class has distinct water usage patterns and demand characteristics. Since cost-of-service is based on proportionality, service characteristics of each class are analyzed to proportionally distribute the allocated system costs according to their respective demand profiles. The units of service for this cost-of-service study are divided into the following classes:
• Retail Customers: This category includes all current potable water customers including single-family residential, multi-family residential, mobile homes, commercial, and landscape customers. • Recycled Water Customers: This category consists of customers receiving recycled water, served by either a pressurized system or a gravity-fed system.
• Public Fire Capacity: This category includes costs associated with providing system-wide fire service.
These costs are redistributed to the retail and recycled customer classes, as they directly benefit from the service.
• Private Fire Capacity: This category covers commercial customers who have a separate fire line for fire sprinklers.
Since the retail class combines the water demands of all potable water customers, only one set of demand factors is needed to represent the overall usage characteristics of the class. Recycled water customers are served by the wastewater system, so their peak demands do not affect the peak demands on the potable water system. Public and private fire capacity are considered "standby costs," meaning the costs allocated to these classes represent the capacity required to serve them. Table 16 shows the summarized units of service by customer class.

Rate Design
INTRODUCTION
Customer class rate structures serve as the method to recover the cost to provide service for each customer classification. The City’s existing and proposed rate structures include a service charge and a volume rate. The proposed rate structure was designed based on the cost-of-service analysis such that each customer class is paying their proportionate share of costs required to serve them.
EXISTING RATES
The residential class includes single family, multifamily, and mobile home customers. It also includes customers served outside the City limits in Tarpey Village. Tarpey Village consists of three residential customer classes; metered residential, non-metered residential, and non-metered large lot residential. Metered residential customers are assessed a per-dwelling unit service charge that does not vary by meter size and a tiered volume charge based on use. Tarpey Village non-residential large lot rate customers are assessed a service charge based on square footage. Tarpey Village non-metered customers are charged a fixed service charge. All Tarpey non-metered residential and non-metered large lot customers will have transitioned to metered service by the time of the FY27 rate implementation.
The commercial class includes commercial and industrial customers who are assessed a service charge based on meter size and a tiered volume charge based on use. Recycled water customers are assessed a service charge by meter size and a volume charge based on pressurized or non-pressurized use. Private firelines are assessed a service charge that does not vary by line size. Construction water accounts are temporary, unmetered customers that use water service for homes under construction. Construction water is assessed a service charge equal to the Tarpey un- metered service charge. Hydrant meter rates are assessed a service charge plus a volume rate for all usage.
The Inside City residential class includes a 3-tiered volume rate where the rate increases through each threshold. In a similar fashion, the commercial and industrial classes are assessed a 2-tiered volume rate which increases in each tier.
PROPOSED RATES
The customer classes for the proposed rates have been reclassified to apply to three classes, potable retail users, recycled water users, and private fire capacity users. Service charges apply to each class based on meter size or fireline size, as applicable. To ensure that all customers are assessed a proportionate share of costs to provide service, volume rates now apply uniformly to each type of water use, potable, recycled pressurized and recycled non-pressurized.
The potable retail class combines the existing residential, commercial, and landscape customers into one class that is assessed a service charge that varies by meter size and a uniform volume rate.
The recycled water class is assessed a service charge that varies by meter size and a volume rate based on whether the use is pressurized or non-pressurized. The private fire capacity class is assessed a stand-by charge that varies by fireline size. Raftelis proposes that proposed construction water charges for FY27 through FY31 be based on the 1” meter service charge plus 60,000 gallons of water use at the proposed volume rates. Hydrant meter rates are based on the 2-inch water meter service charge and the uniform volumetric use rate. 52 AGENDA ITEM NO. 5.

DEVELOPMENT OF FIXED CHARGES
The potable retail, recycled, and private fireline fixed charges are based on the allocated customer cost of service components and their appropriate units of service. Table 20 shows the fixed charges, allocated costs, and associated units of service. Table 21 shows the scaling of the fixed charge across meter sizes.

DROUGHT RATE VOLUMETRIC SURCHARGES
The City is obligated to meet its annual net revenue requirements regardless of whether consumption levels decline due to State mandated conservation. Even if consumption levels decline, the City will continue to incur costs and must have a revenue-neutral mechanism to ensure fiscal sustainability. To this end, drought rates are intended to maintain the necessary level of revenues for the water utility.
Table 25 shows the baseline FY 2027 consumption as well as the projected consumption at each mandated conservation level.
Table 25: Consumption Assumptions Utilized in Drought Response Charge Analysis
Table 26 shows the maximum drought rate volumetric surcharge that could be enacted by the City Council in the event of mandated shortage level. The volumetric surcharges shown in the table would be applied to the potable uniform volumetric rate in place at the time of implementation.
