SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION
The City of Riverside (City) is located in the Inland Empire metropolitan area, east of Los Angeles with the population of approximately 320,000. They are serving approximately 98,500 customers from within the City, including Highgrove, as well as providing wholesale treatment services to the nearby Edgemont, Jurupa, and Rubidoux community services districts (CSDs). The City’s Public Works Department Sewage Systems Division (Sewer Division) is responsible for wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal for the majority of the City as well as several CSDs in the surrounding area. The City owned and operated Regional Water Quality Control Plant (RWQCP) began operation as a regional facility in 1978. Subsequent projects upgraded the existing primary, secondary, tertiary, and solids handling facilities to increase the overall hydraulic treatment capacity to 46 million gallons per day (mgd) (annual average basis). At the same time, the RWQCP has been modified to allow the plant to meet more stringent discharge limits.
1.1 Purpose
The Sewer Division’s last rate study resulted in the adoption of 5 years of annual rate increases for fiscal year (FY) 2014/15 through FY 2018/19. Four of those five adopted increases were implemented as scheduled which allowed for the funding of Phase I Expansion Project at the RWQCP, and other plant and collection system repair and rehabilitation (R&R) projects. The last of the increases, scheduled for July 1, 2018, was not implemented as the City Council deemed the position of the fund to be adequate and opted to forgo the increase.
Since the last study, the Sewer Division has experienced a significant increase in overall operation and maintenance (O&M) costs and capital expenditures. In the effort to provide reliable infrastructure and services, the Sewer Division has been implementing capital improvement projects (CIPs) that were recommended in the 2017 Master Plan. With unusually high increases in costs in recent years, it is imperative for the Sewer Division to evaluate its revenue sufficiency and economic stability to avoid financial constraints and to continue with necessary infrastructure upgrades to comply with regulatory requirements.
The Sewer Division retained Carollo Engineers, Inc (Carollo) to perform the Sewer Division’s Sewer Cost of Service Study Update (Study). This study aims to update the Sewer Division’s 5-year financial plan, evaluate user rate adequacy, and confirm the revenue sufficiency. This report summarizes the underlying methodology, assumptions, processes, findings, and recommendations for user rates. The sewer user rates and sewer capacity fees are in accordance with California legal requirements as defined by Proposition 218 and California Government Code §66013, respectively. This report details the analysis carried out to update the sewer user rates.
1.2 Scope of Work
This scope of work builds on the previous work that was completed in 2023, as well as our ongoing work on the annual model updates, reserve policy, and connection fee updates. The financial projections and rate analysis incorporate the following overall goals:
Generate sufficient revenue to cover O&M expenditures.

CI
TY OF RIVERSIDE
SEWER RATE STUDY UPDATE 2
Provide funding for capital improvements and equipment replacement. Review financial policies and set rates to adequately fund reserves and provide sufficient debt coverage (where applicable).
This financial study uses data and assumptions provided by the Sewer Division as the basis for future O&M expenditures.
1.3 Forward Looking Statement
The projections and forecasts of this analysis are based on the reasonable expectation of future events.
Should cost escalation, operating expenditures, or capital needs vary from projected levels prior to FY 2030/31, the Sewer Division might require an additional Proposition 218 process to increase rates above currently projected levels. The Sewer Division might similarly be required to begin a new Proposition 218 process should revenues not materialize as projected.
1.4 Key Findings and Recommendations
Based on the analysis presented herein, revenue increases will be necessary in each year of the study for the Sewer Division to meet its debt coverage requirements and maintain reserves near the Council’s directed modelling target (minimum reserve plus 10-percent). The proposed rate increases are
4.2-percent to be implemented on January 1, 2027, followed by 7.2-percent increases to be implemented on July 1, 2027, July 1, 2028, July 1, 2029, and July 1, 2030.
The key findings and recommendations of the financial study are as follows. Rate increases are necessary to cover increasing costs and meet the Sewer Division financial obligations.
» The Sewer Division’s ongoing operational costs have increased significantly over the past several years due to high levels of inflation. However, no rate increases were implemented since FY 2017/18. While past debt restructuring efforts have resulted in savings, the ongoing increases in O&M costs have now exhausted those benefits and the Sewer Division risks falling short of annual debt service coverage requirements if the rates are not increased. Meeting debt service coverage is the primary driver of the first three years of the proposed rate increases. » Along with O&M and debt, the Sewer Division needs to invest in the capital assets of the RWQCP and the collection system so that it can continue to provide reliable and efficient service for its In-City customers and the CSDs. Funding the CIP will require spending down existing reserves (as a method of mitigating rate increases) as well as issuing new revenue bonds. The need to generate revenues to cover the associated increase in annual debt service and the rebuilding and maintenance of reserves drive the proposed rate increased for years 4 and 5 of the analysis. Implement a full cost of service adjustment to the rate structure. The proposed user rates are cost of service-based rate structure and which results in rate increases that differ by customer class for each year of the study period.
Smooth the cost of service adjustments over five years. To mitigate significant year-to-year impacts and promote more equitable rate adjustments, the proposed cost-of-service (COS) adjustments are smoothed across the five-year study period.

Continue to review the Sewer Division’s finances. If the rate increases are adopted, the Sewer Division will continue to monitor its financial position each year and determine whether each year’s increase is necessary prior to its implementation.
1.5 Overview of Rate Setting Process
Rate analyses are typically performed periodically so that revenues from rates adequately fund utility O&M, and capital investments. Additionally, in California, water rates must adhere to the COS requirements imposed by the State Constitution. California Constitution Article XIII D, Section 6 (Article XIII D) requires that property-related fees and charges, including wastewater rates, do not exceed the reasonable and proportional cost of providing the service.
Carollo follows an industry standard rate-setting approach and the methodology outlined in the Water Environment Federation’s Manual of Practice 27: Financing and Charges for Wastewater Systems (MOP27).
MOP27 outlines a commonly accepted approach for wastewater utilities to be used to forecast revenue requirements, allocate costs to the functional category and customer, and then calculate rates.
A comprehensive rate study typically consists of the progression of three interconnected processes, as illustrated in Figure 1. However, for this study, it was determined to follow the same rate structure as existing - across the board increase.
Figure 1 Conceptual Rate Setting Process
1.5.1 Existing Financial Information
The background financial information included within this study was provided by the Sewer Division and included existing debt service and future payments, current fund balances, operating fund reserve requirements, and other miscellaneous financial information.

1.5.2 Debt Coverage Requirements
The 2025A Bonds Official statement includes a rate covenant that sets a debt coverage factor that must be met or exceeded by the Sewer Division in each FY. The rate covenant’s required coverage factor is
1.10x. In practice, this means that rates must be set such that revenues plus any use of funds from the rate stabilization fund, are sufficient to meet all ongoing O&M expenses, as well as 1.10 times the annual debt service requirements due in a year. Failure to meet the coverage requirements outlined in the 2025A Bonds Official Statement could result in a downgrade of the Sewer Division’s credit rating and/or legal action against the City.
1.5.3 Reserve Policies
Cash reserves are often expressed as the number of days of operating expenses able to be covered by the funds held in reserve. Operating expenses include all ongoing O&M expenditures associated with normal operation of the sewer collection and treatment system, debt service for all debt obligations, and capital included in the O&M budget. The City Council adopted a reserve policy in November 2016 that lays out minimum and target levels for several reserve components and aims to achieve a total cash balance between 60 and 120 days of O&M and debt service expenses. The financial projections in this study are developed based on meeting those goals.
1.5.4 Legal Considerations and Policies
Rate analyses are performed periodically to ensure revenues continue to adequately fund utility operations, maintenance, and necessary capital investments. In California, water rates must adhere to the COS requirements imposed by Proposition 218 and the State Constitution. Proposition 218 requires that property related fees and charges, including sewer rates, do not exceed the reasonable and proportional cost of providing the service.

SECTION 2 CUSTOMER BASE
2.1 Retail Customer Base
The Sewer Division currently has 39 different residential and commercial customer categories. Some areas of the City have sewer lines that must flow to pumping facilities to pump the wastewater uphill to a gravity feed line. The gravity lines carry the wastewater downhill to the RWQCP. The pumping process requires additional equipment, maintenance, and power. A surcharge is added to the sewer services in these areas to recover the associated costs.
The overall growth rate is used along with customer billing data from FY 20 24/25 and 2025/26 to estimate the expected new accounts. Table 1 shows the projected number of accounts for each year of the rate study period. Additional details of the projection are included for reference in Appendix A.

(1) The City also tracks residences on septic systems and homeowner’s associations who do not receive wastewater service from the City and are therefore not subject to the Sewer Division’s rates. Those accounts are excluded from this table. (2) Column or row totals may not tie due to rounding for presentation purposes.
In Previous studies, customers in the unincorporated Highgrove area were tracked separately from other in-City customers. However, because the Highgrove service agreement stipulates that the same rates are applied to Highgrove as City customers, Highgrove customers are now included in the categories in Table 1, and throughout the analysis.
2.2 Projected Flow and Loads
Wastewater flows and loads are a major driver of financial planning as they dictate many collections system and treatment plant operational costs and capital expenditures. Furthermore, customer class specific flow and loadings assumptions are essential to the rate development process as they provide a basis for the allocation of costs to each customer class.

2.2.1 Projected Flow
The Sewer Division provided records of actual plant flows and CSD flows for FY 2024/25. Flows for In-City customers were calculated by subtracting the CSD flows from the plant totals and projected by applying the annual growth factor shown above in Table 1 to the actual flows.
Wastewater flows for the Edgemont, Jurupa, and Rubidoux CSDs are projected to increase at an average
2.0 percent through the 5-year study period. This analysis assumes that the CSDs will not purchase additional capacity at the RWQCP and that CSD flows will not exceed currently owned capacity. Table 2 presents projected flows for the City and the CSDs. Additional details of the projection are included for reference in Appendix A.

Notes:
(1) FY 2024/25 actual plant flows were 27.6 mgd; FY 2025/26 plant flows, prior to the mass balance adjustment, were projected at 27.9 mgd based on 0.9% growth, with the mass balance and price-out adjustment applied FY 2025/26 flows are estimated at 28.7 mgd.
(2) Column or row totals may not tie due to rounding for presentation purposes.
2.2.2 Plant Loads
The Sewer Division bills its retail customers and the CSDs based on the billable constituents of five-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and total suspended solids total suspended solids (TSS). These billable constituents can be measured at the treatment plant and measured or estimated for individual users, providing a nexus between the costs the Sewer Division incurs to treat wastewater and the rates that customers are charged.
BOD is a commonly used measure of the amount of organic matter in wastewater that must be removed by the treatment process. Specifically, it represents the amount of oxygen consumed by bacteria and other microorganisms while they decompose organic matter under aerobic conditions at a specified temperature.
TSS is also a commonly used metric and represents the amount of solid material suspended in wastewater that must be removed by the treatment process. Special industrial customers are billed based on chemical oxygen demand (COD) rather than BOD since it is a better indication of their wastewater strength and is more easily monitored and tested. For the Sewer Division’s rate setting, COD is assumed to be 2.1 times BOD.
For the purposes of the rate study, billed loads are estimated using customer billing data, assumed return to sewer factors, and assumed loading for each type of customer. This methodology is used because it is
SEWER RATE STUDY UPDATE
SEPTEMBER 2026 / FINAL / CAROLLO
CI
TY OF RIVERSIDE
SEWER RATE STUDY UPDATE 7
impractical to monitor flow and loads directly for all wastewater customers. For rate setting, it is important to understand the relative loads coming from different types of customers.
The customer data was confirmed and adjusted using a mass balance that aimed to match the calculated flows and loads based on customer data to the measures flows and loads coming into the RWQCP for the corresponding FY, in this case FY 2024/25. Subsequently, a price out adjustment was applied to the data so that the Sewer Division’s budgeted revenues by customers class for FY 2025/26 (based on historic collections) would coincide with the projected flow and loads used to calculate future rates. Table 3 shows the projected billed loads; Appendix B includes additional detail of the mass balance and loading projection.

(2) Column or row totals may not tie due to rounding for presentation purposes.
The pounds of BOD and TSS loads from each customer stay relatively the same even if indoor water conservation leads to decreased flow. As such, the plant loads are expected to remain consistent with the values presented in Table 3, even if flows do not materialize to the values shown in Table 2 within the predicted timeframe.

SECTION 3 REVENUE REQUIREMENT ANALYSIS
3.1 Introduction
The revenue requirement analysis has two main purposes. It serves as a means of evaluating each cost center’s fiscal health and adequacy of current rate levels, and it sets the basis for near-term and long-term rate planning. The analysis is derived from five major components: O&M, Capital Funding, Annual Debt Service, Policy Requirements and Coverage, and Offsetting Revenues. The adequacy of the existing rate structure can be measured by comparing revenue requirement projections against revenue projections under existing rates. If revenue projections under existing rates do not meet forecasted requirements, rates need to be adjusted.
There are three sufficiency tests utilized to define the necessary annual revenues: 1) the cash flow, 2) debt coverage, and 3) reserve sufficiency tests. These sufficiency tests are commonly used to determine the amount of annual revenue that must be generated from an agency’s rates. Cash Flow Sufficiency Test. A utility must generate annual utility revenues adequate to meet annual expenditure obligations of the utility. The cash flow test identifies projected cash requirements in each given year. Cash requirements include O&M expenses, debt service payments, replacement funding, additions to fund balances, and rate funded capital expenditures. These expenses are compared to total annual projected revenues. Revenues that are available to meet this requirement include user rate revenue, interest earnings, non-operating revenues and miscellaneous revenues. Shortfalls are then used to estimate needed rate increases.
Bond Coverage Test. Annual rate revenues must satisfy debt coverage obligations. The bond coverage test measures the ability of a utility to meet both legal and policy driven revenue obligations. Based on the 2025 Bonds Official Statement, rates must be set such that revenues plus any use of funds from the rate stabilization fund, are sufficient to meet all ongoing operational and maintenance expenses, as well as 1.10 times the annual debt service requirements due in a year. For modelling purposes, this analysis aims to achieve a minimum coverage ratio of 1.10x without the rate stabilization fund and 1.25x with the rate stabilization fund to provide a buffer against future revenue shortfalls or cost increases that cannot be anticipated at this time. Reserve Sufficiency Test. Reserves should be held at or above the minimum policy level in each year.
The reserve sufficiency test measures the ability of the utility to achieve the Council adopted reserve policy in each year of the rate study period.
Revenues must be sufficient to satisfy all of tests. If revenues are found to be deficient through one or more of the tests, then the greater deficiency (shortfall) drives the rate increase.
3.2 Assumptions
The population of the Sewer Division's service area is projected to grow at an annual average of
0.88 percent through the 5-year study period ending in FY 2030/31. Thereafter, the growth is expected to be between 0.5 percent and 1 percent per year. The population of CSDs is projected to grow 2.0 percent

annually during the period. As such, increased wastewater flows and loads are expected to dictate many collections system and treatment costs and capital expenditures.
Table 4 below summarizes the escalation factors that are used to project O&M expenses and revenues during the study period. The escalator factors shown for FY 2026/27 are accumulated from FY 2025/26, which was used for FY 2026/27 projection.

3.3 Operation and Maintenance Costs
The revenue requirement analysis uses the Sewer Division’s FY 2025/26 budget along with other information provided by Sewer Division staff as the basis for forecasting future O&M expenditures. For example, some additional O&M programs identified by staff were included (as discussed below). Further, the budgeted labor costs were reduced by 10-percent to account for the Sewer Division’s typical vacancy rate.
Most costs are escalated based on the escalation factors shown in Table 4. Figure 2 summarizes the overall O&M cost projection. As shown, O&M expenditures are assumed to increase commensurate with the cost of inflation and projected cost increases associated with increases in wastewater flows due to growth and higher treatment standards.

Figure 2 Projected O&M Costs
The City categorizes costs for the Sewer Division to budget and track costs for specific areas and activities.
Each category may include staff and personnel costs, contractual services, utilities, materials and supplies, and charges for services rendered by other City departments along with other items. The categories included in the Sewer Division O&M budget include the following:
Sewer System Administration costs are incurred by the Sewer Division for the general oversight and management of all Sewer Division activities.
Collection System Maintenance costs are incurred by the Sewer Division to operate and maintain the sewer collection system including gravity mains, pump and lift stations, force mains, and other facilities. Treatment costs are incurred for the operation and maintenance of the treatment plant. Along with inflationary increases in operating costs, the Sewer Division has identified several additional O&M programs that will commence in FY 2027/28 that are necessary to maintain the plant as it ages. These activities include ongoing replacement of the membrane bioreactor (MBR) cassettes as they age, anaerobic digester cleaning, pavement rehabilitation, and contracts for ongoing as needed equipment repairs and maintenance.
Environmental Compliance costs are incurred for monitoring and management of the collection system.
Plant Maintenance costs are incurred to maintain mechanical assets at the plant. Electrical and Instrumentation costs are incurred to maintain electrical and instrumentation assets at the plant.
Sewer SCADA and SPL costs are incurred to maintain electrical and instrumentation and control assets at the plant.

3.4 Capital Improvement Projects
3.4.1 Capital Expenditures
The CIP has been developed by the Sewer Division to perform rehabilitation and replacement of RWQCP and collection system infrastructure, meet anticipated regulatory requirements and additional treatment requirements, and to continue investing in other resource and energy saving initiatives. The Sewer Division provided projected CIP costs for both the RWQCP and collections system for the period starting in FY 2025/26, though 2039/40. While this analysis is most focused on setting rates for the 5 -year period from FY 2026/27 through FY 2030/31, the financial forecast does consider the potential impact of CIP funding beyond that time to mitigate the risk of future rate shocks. Figure 3 summarizes the annual CIP expenditures for FY 2026/27 through FY 2030/31.

Figure 3 Projected CIP Expenses
Between approximately 2009 and 2015, the Sewer Division completed numerous upgrades to the RWQCP, the update of the Master Plan in 2019 marked a shift from prior years as capital expenses will be focused more heavily on collections system projects rather than the RWQCP. Additionally, projects at the RWQCP are more focused on R&R of existing assets rather that the large plant expansion and rebuild programs of past years. Within the study period (FY 2026/27 through FY 2030/31), the CIP totals approximately $94.9 million (unescalated, 2026 dollars). Of this total, $47.7 million is planned for the collection system, while $47.2 is planned for the RWQCP.
For the purpose of this study, the CIP for FY 2027/28 was adjusted so that Sewer Division could meet its financial goals while smoothing the proposed rate revenue increases. The analysis assumes that the CIP is reduced by $5 million in FY 2027/28 with those costs being added back after the study period in FY 2031/32. With the adjustment, the total capital spending in the Study period is $89.9 million in current dollars, or $99.3 million over the study period with escalation applied. If revenues outpace the projections developed for this study, or if the Sewer Division can find other short-term savings, such as debt wrapping for expected bond issuances, the adjustment may not be necessary.
3.4.2 Capital Funding
The Sewer Division utilizes several sources of funds to pay for capital projects. These include connection fees, cash funding from rates, reserves, or other revenues, and the use of debt proceeds. Table 6 shows a summary of the projected capital funding strategy for each year of the rate study period. CIP funding calculations are based on the escalated costs.

Connection Fee Funds: The Sewer Division charges connection fees to new users who connect to the sewer system or to users who modify their property such that they require additional capacity, such as a single-family home being redeveloped into multi-family. Connection fees generate approximately $4 million per year available to be spent on the Sewer Division’s capital projects. Over the Study period, $20.1 million in connection fee revenues are expected to be used to fund capital projects. Cash Funded Capital (PAYGO and Reserves): As shown in Table 6, approximately $19.2 million in capital projects will be funded with cash over the study period. Cash funding sources will c onsist of the use of existing reserves in FY 2026/27 and a small amount of the PAYGO funding directly from rates in FY 2030/31. The impact of the funding strategy on reserves is discussed further in the Revenue Requirements Results Section.
Use of Debt Proceeds: Implementation of the CIP as developed would require $60.0 million in new bond proceeds during the rate study period. The proceeds would be needed starting in FY 202 7/28 and would be needed in each year of the study period thereafter.
3.5 Annual Debt Service
The Sewer Division currently holds two outstanding debt obligations related to funding sewer system projects. The 2018 Refunding Sewer Revenue Bonds were used to refinance the Sewer Division’s 2009 bonds and took advantage of low interest rates at the time to achieve savings in annual debt service costs. Similarly, the 2025 Refunding Sewer Revenue Bonds were used to refinance the 2015 Bonds and restructure debt service payments to provide savings in FY 2024/25, 2025/26, and 2026/27 as compared to the original 2015 Bonds debt service.
These refunding efforts played a key role in the Sewer Division’s ability to forgo sewer rate increases since 2018. However, the Sewer Division is likely no longer able to pursue further similar efforts to forgo rate increases due to the financial position of the Sewer Division and the infrastructure and operational needs of the system. Table 7 shows the outstanding amounts on the Sewer Division’s existing bonds.

In addition to capital funding debt, the Sewer Division is responsible for the share of the City’s two pension obligation bonds. The debt service for those bonds is included in the Debt Service Related Expenses and Pension Obligation Bonds line in Table 5. The pension obligation bonds are not included in the debt service coverage test.
3.6 Reserve Policy Requirements
The Sewer Division’s reserve policy sets guidelines for maintaining fund reserves. The policy sets out minimum and target levels for several reserve components based on the characteristics of the system and the system’s finances. The City Council adopted the reserve policy in November 2016.
The components of the reserve policy are described in the proceeding paragraphs below.
3.6.1 Operating Fund
The Operating fund includes two sub-components: one based on operating costs, and one based on debt service.
The Operating Fund component of this reserve is intended to ensure sufficient resources to pay budgeted operating and maintenance expenses, recognizing the timing differences between payment of expenditures and receipt of revenues. It also provides a source of funds to allow the Wastewater Division to operate during short term fluctuations in revenues and/or expenditures. The target level is set at 120 days of O&M expenses and with a minimum level at 60 days of O&M expenses.
SEWER RATE STUDY UPDATE
SEPTEMBER 2026 / FINAL / CAROLLO
CI
TY OF RIVERSIDE
SEWER RATE STUDY UPDATE 15
The Debt Service component of this reserve is intended to ensure the ability to make debt service payments in an extreme event that may impact the Wastewater Division’s ability to provide services, thus impacting revenues at a time when critical infrastructure repairs are needed to restore systems. It is intended to prevent an event where the Wastewater Division would be unable to pay its debt service obligations during such emergencies, or extreme market disruptions. The target level is set to 100 percent of the maximum annual debt service payments due in the upcoming fiscal year, the minimum level is set at 50 percent of the maximum annual debt service payments due in the upcoming FY .
3.6.2 Capital Fund
The System Improvements Capital component of this reserve is intended to provide funds to ensure continuity of construction over FYs to be reimbursed by bond proceeds or other resources. The target level is set to 50 percent of the projected 5-year rolling average CIP, the minimum level is set to 25 percent of the projected 5-year rolling average CIP.
3.6.3 Heavy Equipment Replacement Fund
The Heavy Equipment Replacement component of this reserve establishes a sinking fund to pay for the replacement of mobile heavy equipment as the fleet ages and has reached its expected service life. The target level is set to 50 percent of the projected 5-year rolling average equipment replacement costs, the minimum level is set to 25 percent of the projected 5-year rolling average equipment replacement costs.
3.6.4 Rate Stabilization Fund
The Rate Stabilization Fund is used to set funds aside that can be included in the Sewer Division debt service coverage calculation. The target level is set at $1 million, and the minimum level is set at $500,000.
3.6.5 Emergency Capital Reserve
The Emergency Capital component of this reserve is intended to provide funds to ensure the ability to repair the system or replace equipment in the event of an unanticipated breakdown or failure. The target and minimum values of the Emergency Capital component are based on the estimated overall system value of approximately $1 billion. The target level is set at 1.0 percent of the system value or $10 million, the minimum level is set at 0.5 percent of the system value or $5 million.
3.6.6 Restricted Reserve
Restricted reserves are established and utilized for narrowly defined purposes as specified by legal restrictions, bond covenants, emergencies, and other regulations or ordinances as approved by the City Council. Current Restricted Reserves include a cash amount equal to 10 percent of annual operating expenses of the division.
Since the adoption of the reserve policy, the Council has given direction to the wastewater utility to complete its financial planning assuming that reserves are held closer to the minimum values, rather than the targets. As such, the projections for this study have been completed, assuming that reserves are held 10-percent above the minimum levels rather than at the target levels. This assumption allows for a greater share of reserves to be used to fund capital projects but still maintains a financial buff er if revenues do not materialize as projected or unforeseen costs arise. Further, for this analysis, the modelling target for the
SEWER RATE STUDY UPDATE

Rate Stabilization Fund is kept at the target level and the amount of funds held in that reserve will need to be held above that level to meet debt coverage requirements.

3.7 User Rate Revenues
The Sewer Division’s primary source of revenue is the rates charged to residential, commercial, and special billing customers for sewer collection and treatment services. Prior to any proposed increase for FY 2026/27, rate revenues are approximately 84-percent of the Sewer Division’s total annual revenues.
Single-family residential (SFR), multi-family residential (MFR), and basic commercial users are billed a flat sewer user rate. The SFR sewer user rate is based on typical flow and loadings for a detached home. Non- residential users are billed based on monthly water consumption and the customer category specific return to sewer factor. Based on previous sampling, the Sewer Division maintains a list of average flow and wastewater strength discharges for each user rate category, which is used to develop the user rates.
Large industrial or individual users discharging at least 25,000 gallons per day (gpd), known as “Special Billing Users,” pay individually calculated user rates, based on measured sewer flows and strengths.
Table 11 shows the projected user rate revenues prior to any proposed increases. This baseline level of revenue is projected to increases slightly each year based on the growth factor discussed previously.
Current rate revenues under existing rates total approximately $62.1 million and will increase to $64.8 million over the study period due to expected customer growth.

3.8 Offsetting Revenues
Revenues from sources other than user rates are used to offset the amount of funds that must be contributed from user rates. For FY 2026/27 (the first year of the study period), offsetting revenues total approximately $11.93 million. By FY 2030/31 offsetting revenues are projected to reach $13.51 million, as shown in Table 11. The sources of offsetting revenues are described in the following subsections.

The sources of offsetting revenues are described in the succeeding paragraphs.
3.8.1 Community Services District Treatment Agreement Revenues The CSDs receive wholesale wastewater treatment and disposal services from the Sewer Division under contract agreements. The CSDs each pay for their share of operating and maintenance costs based on their measured flows and loads. Because they do not utilize the Sewer Division’s collection system, their charges are based only on the applicable costs at the treatment plant. Payments from the CSDs are used to offset the treatment plant costs that need to be recovered from the Sewer Division’s retail customers.
CSD O&M payments are the Sewer Division’s largest source of offsetting revenues. CSD O&M revenues are projected based on the weighted average increase of CSD allocated O&M costs and projected annual

increase in proportion to flow from the CSDs. Revenues are expected to increase from $ 4.2 million in FY 2026/27 to $5.8 million in FY 2030/31. Projected revenues and annual revenue increases for the CSDs are presented in Table 12.

Notes:
(1) Column or row total may not tie due to rounding for presentation purposes.
3.8.2 Connection Fees
Connection Fee revenues include charges from new In-City customers. Connection Fee revenues are projected to increase from $3.95 million to $4.09 million during the Study period. This revenue projection is designed to be conservative and assumes an annual average capacity growth rate of 0.88 percent during the Study period.
3.8.3 Use of Money and Property
Revenues in the Use of Money and Property category are the interest earnings on the reserve funds held by the Sewer Division. Total revenues from use of money and property are expected to fluctuate as reserves are drawn down in the early years of the analysis to pay for capital projects, then subsequently replenished in the later years of the rate study period.
3.8.4 Non-Rate Revenues
Non-Rate Revenues include charges for services such as plan check, enforcement and benefit fees, as well as tipping fees for septage and food waste, CSD improvement fees, Sewer Special Billing customers Supplemental Capacity Charges, and other miscellaneous revenues.
3.9 Revenue Requirement Results
Carollo worked with Sewer Division staff to review several rate revenue increase scenarios. Through that process, the capital funding strategy, O&M projections, and rate increase timing were refined to mitigate and smooth rate increases to the extent possible while still allowing the Sewer Division to meet is capital and operational goals and financial requirements. Based on the analysis, revenue increases will be necessary in each year of the study for the Sewer Division to meet its debt coverage requirements and maintain reserves near the Council’s directed modelling target (minimum reserve plus 10 -percent).
The proposed rate increases are 4.2-percent to be implemented on January 1, 2027, followed by
7.2-percent increases to be implemented on July 1, 2027, July 1, 2028, July 1, 2029, and July 1, 2030. If the rate increases are adopted, the Sewer Division will continue to monitor its financial position each year and determine whether each year’s increase is necessary prior to its implementation.

3.9.1 Rate Increase Drivers
The need for rate revenue increases is driven by several factors:
Overall, the Sewer Division’s ongoing operational costs have increased significantly over the past several years due to high levels of inflation. This inflation coincided with several years where no rate increases were implemented as the rates have been held constant since FY 2017/18. Further, plant assets added or modified during the last major plant expansion and rehabilitation are now approximately 10-years old and are beginning to require enhanced ongoing maintenance including
SEWER RATE STUDY UPDATE
SEPTEMBER 2026 / FINAL / CAROLLO
CI
TY OF RIVERSIDE
SEWER RATE STUDY UPDATE 20
MBE cassette replacements and digester cleaning. While past debt restructuring efforts have resulted in savings, the ongoing increases in O&M costs have now exhausted those benefits and the Sewer Division risks falling short of annual debt service coverage requirements if the rates are not increased.
This driver is particularly impactful in the first three years of the proposed rate increases. Along with O&M and debt, the Sewer Division needs to invest in the capital assets of the RWQCP and the collection system so that it can continue to provide reliable and efficient service for its In -City customers and the CSDs. As discussed, funding the CIP will require spending down existing reserves (as a method of mitigating rate increases) as well as issuing new revenue bonds. The need to generate revenues to cover the associated increase in annual debt service and the rebuilding and maintenance of reserves drive the proposed rate increased for years 4 and 5 of the analysis.
3.9.2 Reserve Outlook
Table 13 shows the projected ending balance for each reserve component throughout the Study period.
Reserves levels will decrease steadily through FY 2028/29 as they are drawn down to fund capital projects and smooth rates. After that time, the reserves will begin to rebuilt toward the modelling target beginning with replenishing the Operating Fund in FY 2029/30 and followed by the Capital Fund in FY 2030/31. Part of the replenishments will come from reallocating funds from the Rate Stabilization Fund to the Operating and Capital Funds as the rate increase will allow the Sewer Division to meet the coverage target without holding additional funds in rate stabilization starting in FY 2029/30.

Figure 3 illustrates the projected reserve ending balance compared to the target levels set forth by the City Council policy, which is minimum target plus 10 percent. As noted, the reserves will be drawn down over the next several years to fund a share of the capital program with existing funds. A dditional funding support from new revenue bonds will be needed to implement the CIP as planned. Bonds are typically sized to provide funding for multiple years and as such, the Sewer Division may carry debt proceeds over from one year to the next as multi-year projects are constructed. As projected for this analysis, all bond proceeds would be spent quickly enough to avoid any tax or other penalties.

SECTION 4 COST-OF-SERVICE ANALYSIS
The purpose of a COS analysis is to provide a rational basis for distributing the full costs of wastewater service to each customer in proportion to the demands they place on the system. A COS analysis yields an appropriate method for allocating costs, which could be continued into the future until substantial changes in cost drivers or customer flow or loading patterns occur.
The Sewer Division’s existing rate structure was developed in 2014 using the COS methods and principals discussed in this report. This study revisits the COS calculation based on the current conditions affecting the operations of the Wastewater Division. Using a COS analysis, cost allocations and user rates were developed to assign O&M, debt service, capital and policy revenue requirements to system users. The results of this updated analysis were compared to the COS indicated by the existing rates to evaluate whether updates to the rate structure are necessary.
Allocating costs begins by developing unit costs for billable constituents, quantities that can be measured at the plant or system level and measured or estimated for each user. For the Sewer Division, these constituents include pumping, flow, BOD, and TSS. Unit costs are then applied to the flow and loading of each customer category to allocate the costs to each customer class and calculate rates.
The overall procedure used to develop the user rates is as follows:
Revenue Needs. Define the annual revenue that must be recovered from user rates and permit (special industrial) users.
Functional Allocation. Determine the percentage allocation of O&M and capital costs to the billable constituents: pumping, flow, BOD, and TSS.
Unit Costs. Develop unit costs for each billable constituent by dividing the total cost allocated to that constituent by the total wastewater flow or loadings of that constituent. Customer Category Rates. Assign costs to customer categories based on usage, then develop rates for each customer category.
Community Services Districts. These revenues are assumed to reduce the amount of revenue that the Sewer Division is required to collect through in-City user rates.
Residential and Commercial Customers. The user rates for residential and commercial categories are based on each category’s respective flow and loading strength. The estimated flow and loading levels are based the Sewer Division’s records of actual flow and loading to the treatment plant, information from the California Association of Sanitation Agencies Flow and Load Study, and other sampling performed by the Sewer Division.
Special Billing Customers. The Sewer Division charges Special Billing Rates to industrial customers discharging high-strength or high-volume wastes into the sewer system. Customers subject to industrial sewer user rates are billed directly by the Sewer Division. The fee charged to each customer is based on the customer's flow, and the concentration of BOD, and TSS.
COS analyses typically select a test year to analyze in detail and the resulting cots allocations are then applied to the specific overall revenue needs for other years. For this study, FY 2027/28 was selected as the test year so that the allocations would reflect the new O&M programs that are scheduled to start in

that year including ongoing replacements of MBR cassettes and digester cleaning along with several other smaller programs.
4.1 Revenue Needs
The revenue needs are defined as the revenue that must be recovered through user rates and industrial user rates in order to cover annual expenditures less any offsetting revenues. As shown in table below in FY 2027/28, $70.5 million must be recovered through sewer service charges to cover the Sewer Division’s annual expenditure as shown in Table 15.

4.2 Functional Allocation
Once projected annual revenue requirements have been determined, they are allocated to billable constituents. As noted, billable constituents are parameters that can be measured or estimated both at the treatment facilities and for each user and include flow and strength (BOD and TSS). For example, sewer flows are monitored at the treatment plant and can be estimated for an individual user. Individual users are then charged based on their estimated flow and loads (residential and commercial) or measured flow and loads (industrial).
The functional allocation assigns the annual revenue requirement for the selected test year by major function and to constituent. Wastewater unit cost rates are developed based on the total system costs to be collected through user rates, and their allocation to pumping, flow, BOD, and TSS. A unit cost is developed for each component and used to distribute costs amongst the customer classes.

The revenue requirements were analyzed line-item by line-item and expenditures were distributed between the following billable constituents:
Pumping: costs are those operating costs incurred by the wastewater system that are incurred based on the volumetric quantity of wastewater that must be pumped. These costs include the energy, personnel, materials, and equipment costs associated with the operation and maintenance of the Sewer Division’s pump stations and force mains.
Flow: costs are those operating costs incurred by the wastewater system that are incurred based on the volumetric quantity of wastewater that is collected and treated. BOD: costs represent those operating costs incurred based on the BOD of influent wastewater. BOD is used as a measure of the amount of organic matter that must be removed from the wastewater prior to disposal. Unit costs for BOD are developed on a per lb basis. TSS: costs represent those operating costs incurred based on the TSS of influent wastewater. The TSS of influent wastewater is used as a measure of the amount of solid particulate matter that must be removed from the wastewater prior to disposal. Unit costs for TSS are developed on a per lb basis. Unassignable Costs: Costs that cannot be easily assigned to specific components, such as administrative costs, are allocated based on the weighted average of all other allocable costs.
The allocation of revenue requirements was completed using several steps and sub -allocations based on detailed operational and capital cost information as well as the Sewer Division’s fixed asset register.

4.2.1 O peration and Maintenance Cost Allocations
Allocations for O&M cost categories and for specific O&M line items were developed based on a detailed analysis of wastewater system costs. Treatment costs were broken down by unit process and allocated to functional component based on the purpose of each process. For example, the primary clarifier’s main purpose is to remove TSS and BOD from the wastewater, thus costs to operate and maintain the primary clarifiers are allocated to TSS and BOD. Using these principles, allocations were developed for staffing and non-labor costs for each of the O&M cost categories associated with the treatment plant. Additionally, specific allocation factors were determined for power costs, chemical costs, equipment replacement, and solids disposal costs. Appendix E includes additional details of the O&M allocations.

4.2.2 Fixed Assets Allocation
The allocation of fixed assets assigns the physical system to the billable constituents based on how flow and loads impact the sizing of different types of assets. For example, the headworks is primarily sized based on hydraulic capacity requirements. Consequently, the cost of operating and maintaining a headworks is proportional to the amount of flow that passes through it and is allocated 100 percent to sewer flow. The fixed asset allocation is used to allocate debt service costs and coupled with the allo cation of capital costs to allocate revenue requirements associated with the CIP.
4.2.3 Capital Allocation
Similar to the fixed assets allocation, capital costs are allocated to billable constituents based on how flow and loads drive the costs of different types of assets. The capital allocation is coupled with the allocation of fixed assets to allocate revenue requirements associated with the CIP.
4.3 Cost of Service Results and Recommendations
Table 17 summarizes the results of the functional allocation for the FY 2027/28 test year based on the methodology discussed in the preceding paragraphs. Based on the analysis, 3.0-percent of revenue requirements are related to pumping, 45.1-percent are related to flow, 35.3-percent are related to BOD, and 16.6-percent are related to TSS. Those allocations are then can then be applied to the revenue needs for each year (from Table 15) to calculate rate revenue requirements, by constituent, for each FY.

4.3.1 Functional Allocation Comparison
Wastewater service rates need to proportionally recover costs from customers based on the level of service required to treat the flow and loading they discharge and cannot exceed the reasonable cost of providing that service. The results of the COS analysis completed for this study were compared to the results from previous studies as well as the proportional revenue by customer class to determine whether the current rate structure meets the proportionality requirements.
Table 18 shows a comparison of the updated functional overall allocation to the overall allocations calculated during the Sewer Division’s previous rate studies. The overall allocation of revenue calculated for this study closely matches the overall allocation that was used to develop the Sewer Division’s current rate structure, indicating that significant structural shifts in the costs of the sewer system have not occurred. The slight shift in costs away from the flow constituent and to the BOD and TSS constituents is driven primarily by increases in specific O&M costs that are allocated to the loading components. These include higher costs for disposal of digested biosolids, MBR cassette replacements, and digester cleaning.

FY 2007/08 Study 3% 52% 30% 15%
While the overall functional allocation has shifted some costs away from the flow constituent and to the loading constituents, that change has not significantly impacted the share of user rate revenues to be collected from each customer class. Table 19 compares the expected revenue by major customer type for the FY 2026/27 test year under the current COS structure to those based on the updated COS. As shown, the portion of revenue recovered from each customer type varies only slightly in the updated COS.
Additional details of the revenues recovered by each customer class is included in Appendix G.

In general, revenue recovery under the current rates is consistent with that under the COS adjusted rates, indicating that the basic structure of the rates is sound. However, the updated COS indicates that some minor shifts in revenue recovery between the classes is necessary to align the rate structure to the analyzed cost of service.

SECTION 5 PROPOSED RATES
The proposed rates will maintain the general structure of the existing rates with class specific updates to reflect the updated COS analysis discussed in Section 4.
5.1 Rate Structure and Customer Class Assumptions
The Sewer Division’s rate structure is tailored to its customers based on how each type of customer utilizes the system and the information reasonably available to serve as the charge basis for each customer.
5.1.1 Equivalent Dwelling Units
Residential and flat rate commercial customers are billed flat monthly charges based on equivalent dwelling units (EDUs). One EDU represents the typical wastewater flow and loading of a single-family home. SFR customers and flat rate commercial customers are assigned one EDU. MFR customers are assigned 0.9 EDUs per dwelling unit. This methodology is common among wastewater agencies similar in scope to Riverside.
This study relied on several resources to develop the assumed flow and loading quantities that define an EDU for the Sewer Division including a statewide flow and loading study completed by the California Association of Sanitation Industries (CASA), City population records from the California Department of Finance (CADOF), and per capita water use information for the City, sampling performed by the Sewer Division in the previous Master Plan, and a mass balance performed to compare estimated flow and loads to those measured at the plant. Based on those sources and analyses, a single EDU for the City of Riverside is defined as shown below:
Flow per EDU: 178 gpd
» The flow per EDU value was determined based on a starting point of 180 gpd and adjusting based on the mass balance analysis. The 180 gpd starting assumption is supported by the CASA study as well per capital water consumption records. The CASA study indicated average flow of 161 gpd for the agencies sampled. Records from CADOF indicate that Riverside’s residential occupancy is higher than the statewide average, which based on available information in the CASA study and from CADOF, closely mirrors the average of the agencies included in the CASA study. As reported by CADOF for 2026 Riverside’s occupancy is 3.06 compared to 2.75 statewide. Applying that ratio to CASA’s 161 gpd average yields approximately 180 gpd for Riverside. With the mass balance adjustment considered the estimated flow per EDU is 178 gpd. » The 178 gpd per EDU is within the range presented in the CASA study, which show ed median flows at 155 gpd and 75th percentile flows at 192 gpd.
» The flow per EDU assumption is secondarily supported by per capital water consumption records.
The minimum three months of State Reported gallons per capital per day (gpcd) for Riverside over the past 5 FYs is approximately 69 gpcd. Applying the occupancy rate and a standard return to sewer assumption yields daily sewer flow of 190 gpd.
SEWER RATE STUDY UPDATE
SEPTEMBER 2026 / FINAL / CAROLLO
CI
TY OF RIVERSIDE
SEWER RATE STUDY UPDATE 31
BOD per EDU: 0.54 pounds per day (364 mg/L)
» The BOD per EDU reflects sampling completed by the Sewer Division during the previous master plan and the mass balance adjustment. Sampling of 27 residential areas indicated a BOD concentration at 375 mg/L. With the mass balance adjustment considered the concentration for residential customers is 364 mg/L, resulting in daily mass loading of 0.54 pounds when applied to the assumed flow per EDU.
TSS per EDU: 0.48 pounds per day (326 mg/L)
» The TSS per EDU reflects sampling completed by the Sewer Division during the previous master plan and the mass balance adjustment. Sampling of 27 residential areas indicated a TSS concentration at 355 mg/L. With the mass balance adjustment considered the concentration for residential customers is 326 mg/L, resulting in daily mass loading of 0.48 pounds when applied to the assumed flow per EDU.
5.1.2 Non-Residential Flow and Loading Assumptions
The COS and rate analysis also relies on flow and loading assumptions for non-residential customers including return to sewer factors, BOD concentrations, and TSS concentrations. The loading assumptions that underlie the current rate structure were originally developed through a sampling process that was last updated in 1990. Return to sewer assumptions for each class were developed based on a flow monitoring study that the Sewer Division completed in 1999 and subsequently used to update the 2001 Revenue Program. Since that time, the Sewer Division has experienced conservation and reductions in the per capita wastewater discharges, which could impact the COS allocation if customer class discharges have decreased at disproportional rates. However, the mass balance indicated that with the updated EDU assumption applied to residential and flat rate commercial users estimated flows based on billing data are very close to those measured at the plant. Overall, estimated flows only needed to be adjusted down by 1.2 percent to match those measured at the plant for FY 2024/25. This indicates that in the aggregate the return to sewer factors and EDU assumptions are reasonable accurate for the purposes of rate setting.
Similarly to flow, the mas balance adjustments required for BOD and TSS were minimal, approximately a 3 percent reduction for BOD and approximately an 8 percent reduction for TSS. These adjustments were applied equally to assumed loading concentrations for all residential and commercial users. The CASA study included sampling of non-residential users, though its scope was limited and the classification of customers did not match exactly to Riverside’s. Nonetheless, the presented values for some customer classes could be compared to those used by the Sewer Division and do qualitatively support the assumptions used by the Sewer Division. For example, restaurants and other food service establishments were show to have high concentrations of BOS and TSS relative to other rate classes. Similar conclusions could be drawn from the data gathered by the Sewer Division in its own past sampling efforts.
Based on the analysis and review of available data, the best available information to serve as the basis for the non-residential rates are the current assumptions with the mass balance adjustments applied. They represent a reasonable estimate of the relative burden placed on the collection and treatment system by each type of customer and are in alignment with standard assumptions used throughout the industry. The Sewer Division should continue to periodically monitor flow and loading from its various customer classes
SEWER RATE STUDY UPDATE

CI
TY OF RIVERSIDE
SEWER RATE STUDY UPDATE 32
to confirm the assumptions, particularly if changes in developments or land use are expected to change sewer flows or loading.
Further, the Sewer Division should continue to appropriately assign customers to the classes based on their use of the system and should reclassify customers as needed. For example, if a retail establishment is redeveloped into a restaurant or market resulting in increased loading to the sewer system, it should be reclassified accordingly.
5.2 Smoothed Cost-of-Service Adjustments
If implemented in a single year, rates based on the updated COS analysis, would result in disparate adjustments amongst customer classes. The 4.2 percent overall increase for FY 2026/27 would translate to between 0.2 percent and approximately 5.6 percent for residential and commercial customers, depending on the customer’s specific class.
To provide a smoother transition to the updated COS analysis, the proposed rates will phase in the shift in revenue recovery over the five-year study period. This phasing will flatten the annual increases experienced by customers in each class, for each FY. The smoothed rates were calculated as follows.
1. Determine the share of total rate revenues generated by customer class under the existing rates by applying the expected billing units (accounts for SFR, MFR, and flat commercial, billed usage for commercial, and billed flow, COD, and TSS for special billing) for FY 2026/27 to the existing rates.
2. Calculate rates for FY 2026/27 assuming a single year implementation of the updated COS and determine the share of total revenue by customer class with the updated COS.
3. Calculate each customer class’s share of total rate revenues for each FY, assuming a smooth transition beginning in FY 2026/27 and completing in FY 2030/31 when the shares will match those calculated in Step 2.
4. Apply the smoothed shares from Step 3 for each FY to the revenue needs for each FY to determine revenue needs by customer class.
5. Divide the revenue needs by class for each FY from Step 4 by the billing units for each class to calculate rates for reach FY.
The proposed rates for each class are summarized in the following sections. Detailed calculations outlining Steps 1 through 5 above are included in Appendix F.

adjustments ensure that the total cost of service is distributed equitably across all customer classes while maintaining stability and smoothing customer impacts.
While the TSS component of the Special Billing rates is expected to increase significantly due to the updated COS, overall bill impacts for Special Billing users are expected to be normalized by the other rate components. The bill impacts were tested by applying FY 2024/25 actual flows and loads to the proposed smoothed rates. That analysis and showed that when all components are considered actual impacts to each customer would be between 3.7 percent and 4.6 percent in FY 2026/27 and between 6.7 percent and
7.7 percent for FY 2027/28 through FY 2030/31.
Commercial Special Billing users will continue to pay the Supplemental Capacity Charge as outlined in the Sewer Division’s development fees schedule until the connection fees and Supplemental Capacity Charges are updated.

5.4 Wastewater Rate Survey
A sewer rate survey was conducted to compare the Sewer Division's existing and proposed wastewater rates with those of neighboring agencies. While such comparisons provide useful context, caution should be exercised when interpreting the results, as each wastewater utility operates under unique regulatory, operational, and financial conditions that influence its rate structure.
Figure 6 presents a comparison of the Sewer Division's existing and proposed SFR customer rates, shown in green, with those of surrounding agencies. The comparison is based on the most recent rate information available as of July 1, 2025. The Cities of Fontana, Ontario, and Chino receive wastewater treatment services from the Inland Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA); therefore, the rates shown include both each city's local wastewater charge and the applicable IEUA treatment charge.
It should also be noted that IEUA receives a portion of its operating revenue from ad valorem property taxes, which helps support its operations and reduces the amount that must be recovered through wastewater treatment rates. As a result, IEUA's rates may not be directly comparable to those of agencies that rely solely on user charges to fund operations and capital improvements.

SECTION 6 CONCLUSION AND RECOMENDATIONS
Based on the analysis presented in this report, rate increases will be necessary for each of the next five years so that the Sewer Division can cover its costs and meet its financial obligations including debt service coverage and the minimum reserve. The first three years pf the proposed rates increases are driven primarily by the need to meet debt service coverage requirements in the face of increasing costs. The increases in the last two years of the proposed rates are driven by the need to cover increased debt service payments resulting from capital funding and to rebuild the reserves that will be drawn down to fund capital projects.
The COS analysis showed that the current rate structure is generally sound but that adjustments to the share of revenue collected from each customer class are needed. Implementing the cost of serve adjustment will result in rate increases that vary by customer class. The proposed smoothed rates would phase in that change over the study period to avoid large year-over-year rate shocks for the Sewer Division’s customers.
Carollo recommends the following:
1. Increase rate revenues as discussed in section 3.9 with overall increases of 4.2-percent to be implemented on January 1, 2027, followed by 7.2-percent increases to be implemented on July 1,2027, July 1, 2028, July 1, 2029, and July 1, 2030.
2. Implement the smoothed COS adjusted rates from Section 5.3 to align the rates charges to customers with the updated COS results.
3. Continue to monitor the finances of the Sewer Division to determine whether each year’s proposed increase is necessary. If such monitoring shows that the rates would be insufficient to cover costs, resulting from an unforeseen drop in revenues or increase in expenses, the Sewer Division may need to revisit the rate analysis or identify other areas for cost reductions.
4. Continue to periodically monitor flow and loading from its various customer classes to confirm the assumptions, particularly if changes in developments or land use are expected to change sewer flows or loading.

These calculations utilize the results of the functional allocation and the projected billed usage and loads for each class to allocate costs to each class and calculate rates. As discussed in the body of the report, these are NOT the proposed rates, as the proposed rates will phase-in the cost of service adjustment. However, these rates are used to calculate the share of revenue needs attributable to each rate class and are thus used in the calculation of the phased-in smoothed rates which are proposed.
These calculations correspond to Step 2 in Section 5.2 of the report.
Rates for residential and basic commercial customers are calculated by dividing the total costs allocated to each class by the number of accounts, then divided by 12 to determine the monthly flat rate. Flow and lo ading for each account is based on the adjusted flows and loads of the mass balance. Single-family accounts and Basic Commercial accounts are assigned an EDU factor of 1.0. Multi-family accounts are assigned an EDU factor of 0.9.

After the initial cost of service adjustment in FY 2026/27 rates for each subsequent year are calculated by applying the revenue requirement increase of 7.2% per year. The rates shown below are NOT the proposed rates. Rather they are included for reference and comparison to the proposed rates with the smoothed cost of service adjustment. The rates shown here for the last year of the rate plan (FY 2030/31) match the proposed smoothed rates for that year as the cost of service adjustment will be

Smoothed Transition Of Cost Share by Class
The table below shows the calculation of a smoothed transition of each class's revenue share from the current rate structure (Appendix G Table 7) to the updated cost of service shares by class (Appendix G tables 2 though 5). This is referred to as Step 3 in Section 5.2.
Smoothed shares of revenue by class for each fiscal year are calculated by dividing the difference between the updated cost of service shares and the current rates costs shares by 5 to calculate an annual incremental change. That incremental change is then added to the current costs share to calculate the smoothed cost share for each fiscal
