Proposed Water Rates
November 14, 2023
2 Presentation Overview
■ Rate Adoption Process
■ Background
■ Regional Rate Survey
■ Financial Challenges
■ Proposed Water Rates
■ Customer Assistance Programs
Purpose: Present summary of findings &
proposed water rates for Council consideration
3 FEB 14 City Council Meeting: Public presentation of draft Water & Sewer Rate Study findings & recommendations
FEB 28 City Council Meeting: Public presentation of final water & sewer rate recommendations

NOV 14 Hold Public Hearing & consider adoption of
proposed water rates
JAN 1 If adopted, new water rates become effective starting January 1, 2024
Rate Adoption Process
4 ■ Water utility is financially self-supporting
Rates are the main source of revenue and need to be set at adequate levels to support safe, reliable, high-quality water supply ■ No water rate increases for 3-1/2 years
Last water rate increase effective July 1, 2020
City cancelled rate increase scheduled for July 1, 2021 to provide rate relief during Covid & has not adjusted rates in recent years ■ San Bruno’s residential water bills are in the middle range compared to other regional agencies
Fixed monthly charges are the lowest of 15 agencies surveyed City has a combined bi-monthly utility bill (1 bill every 2 months) Background
5 Note: Survey assumes same level of water use for all agencies for comparative purposes. Agencies in northern San Mateo County and on the Pacific Coast tend to have lower water use per home than agencies in central and southern San Mateo County. 6 ■ Capital Improvements Needs of Aging Infrastructure
Goal: Support safe, reliable, high-quality water supply Many of the City’s water pipelines are 70 to 100 years old and subject to leaks and breaks
The City has made significant progress on its long-term replacement program but still has substantial funding needs 5-Year Water CIP = $98.7 million
• Replace 3 aging water storage tanks
• Replace & upgrade deteriorating pipelines & infrastructure Financial Challenges
7 ■ SFPUC Wholesale Water Rate Increases
SFPUC wholesale rates increased by 27% in past 2 years Additional wholesale water rate increases projected in future years ■ Keep Up with Cost Inflation
City has faced inflationary cost increases with no corresponding water rate increases over past 3-1/2 years
Annual rate increases needed to keep up with cost inflation Financial Challenges

Actual billing impacts may vary a little based on customer class and water use due to update of water rate structure
Impacts for most customers can range from approximately 5.60% - 6.20% Water rates increase on January 1 each year when water use is low Goal was to gradually phase in the lowest rate increases needed to support the costs of providing safe & reliable water service San Bruno’s rates projected to remain in middle range; other regional agencies are also raising water rates
