Agenda packet — Santa Ana City Council, January 20, 2026 (part 2 of 8)

DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency Water Resources Division (PWA) oversees and maintains the daily operations of the City’s water and sanitary sewer systems. The water system comprises approximately 480 miles of water main, 21 groundwater wells, seven pump stations, 10 reservoirs with a storage capacity of 49 million gallons, four pressureregulating stations, and seven connection points to the Metropolitan Water District (MWD). The system has an average daily demand of 30 million gallons from its roughly 45,500 metered service connections. The sanitary sewer system consists of approximately 400 miles of sewer main, 7,000 manholes, 46,000 sewer laterals, and two sewage lift stations. All sewage carried by the City’s sewer mains is conveyed to the Orange County Sanitation District for treatment. The cost to keep these critical assets operational and invest in their replacement comes from the water and sewer rates charged to and collected from the community they serve. The California Constitution, via Proposition 218, mandates that all revenue collected from water and sewer charges is solely used for water and sewer operations and infrastructure related expenses.

Background
The American Water Works Association recommends as a best management practice that public utilities periodically review and perform cost of service and rate studies every five years to adjust water and sewer rates annually thereby ensuring rate revenue is sufficient to cover the cost of operating and maintaining public water and sewer systems.

The City last performed a Cost of Service and Rate study in 2019. Based on this study, on November 19, 2019, the City Council adopted a 5-year rate plan for the City’s water and sewer services. The adoption of the 2019 rate plan has enabled the City to keep pace with increased operation costs and enable the City to compete critical infrastructure projects, including well rehabilitation, the addition of new wells, and the implementation of a smart water meter program.

The adopted 2019 rate plan established a series of annual rate adjustments with the last adjustment taking effect on July 1, 2023. Due to several compounding factors, including heightened community affordability concerns and the City’s desire to minimize additional financial burden during a period of economic uncertainty, water and sewer rates have not been adjusted in nearly three years. While this approach provided short-term rate stability, it has also deferred necessary adjustments needed to keep pace with rising operational, regulatory, and infrastructure costs. During this same time period, the costs for delivering Santa Ana’s award-winning drinking water and maintaining its sewer systems have increased significantly. In the past two years, both the Metropolitan Water Agency and the Orange County Water District, the agencies that supply and manage the region’s imported water and groundwater basin, have raised their rates by 15% and 22.1% respectively. As a result, the City’s expenditures for water supply and system operations have increased, while revenues have remained relatively flat, reducing the City’s capacity to fund capital improvements necessary to support long-term system performance.

Additional capital improvements, including the emerging need for treatment facilities to remove Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) from drinking water, as well as increased operating and maintenance costs, require a review of the current rate structure and enterprise finances. PFAS emerged as a known contaminant in recent years and in 2024 the Environmental Protection Agency adopted a maximum contaminant level requiring public water systems to treat and remove PFAS from drinking water. This new treatment requirement has added an unplanned significant increase in capital, maintenance, and operational expenses. Furthermore, 50% of the water distribution infrastructure is past its useful life and an estimated 70% will reach its useful life by 2040.

Similarly, the sewer system requires an average of four (4) miles of pipe replacement per year for the next 100 years, but currently, only about one (1) mile of replacement per year can be afforded.

Since Council last adopted a rate structure, there has been new case law regarding water and sewer rates, creating additional criteria for compliance with Proposition 218. The City’s rate structure must be adjusted to comply with existing requirements and ensure that rates are fair and equitable and do not subsidize or benefit one customer class versus another (for example, low-income rates or different rates for residential vs. industrial users are not allowed).

Based on the recommendations of the 2019 Cost of Service and Rate Study and the adopted rate plan, the City issued $44 million of bonds in 2024 to fund major capital improvement projects, including the Smart Water Meter Program and water well improvement projects. The City secured favorable financing terms based in part on its AA credit rating, as evaluated by S&P Global Ratings, and the existence of an adopted rate plan demonstrating alignment between revenues and expenditures.

In more recent years, operating expenses have continued to increase while revenues have remained relatively unchanged, reducing the utilities’ ability to build and maintain reserve balances necessitated by debt covenants and best practices. Maintenance of these balances is a key factor in ongoing credit evaluations. According to the most recent S&P publication from 2025, S&P affirmed the existing AA credit rating but revised the outlook from stable to negative.

To support long-term financial sustainability and continued compliance with Proposition 218, staff recommended hiring a consultant to prepare an updated cost-of-service and rate study. On May 20, 2025, upon the completion of a competitive procurement process, the City Council awarded a contract to Robert D. Niehaus, Inc. to perform a long-term financial planning and cost-of-service study for both the water and sanitary sewer enterprises (Study) (Exhibit 1). The objectives of the Study are to examine the City’s financial and strategic goals and, if necessary, develop and recommend a new rate structure to ensure the future financial stability of both water and sewer enterprises, while ensuring that the rates are in compliance with applicable law.

The following are key elements and recommendations of the Study.

Capital Improvement Plan
Staff has determined that both the water and sewer utilities need significant investment in the repair and rehabilitation of its aging infrastructure. PWA has completed both a water and sewer infrastructure master plan which identifies critical projects that should be constructed over the next 15 years. The water and sewer systems are already showing signs of distress. In the past year alone, the systems experienced 23 water main breaks, 200 water service leaks, and 128 sewer lateral repairs. In addition, four (4) pump stations and 16 groundwater wells were downed due to mechanical and/or electrical failures.

While PWA made cost-effective repairs, continued deferral of capital project investment will eventually result in system failure and loss of critical assets. The proposed rate plan allows for the City to invest an average of $8 million annually on water capital improvements and $5 million annually on needed sewer capital improvements over the next five (5) years. Proposed projects include (Exhibit 2):
• Water Facilities
o Garthe Pump Station Improvements
o Walnut Pump Station Improvements
o New Groundwater Wells
o Crooke Pump Station Improvements
• Water Main Improvements
o Fisher Park Neighborhood Water Main Improvements
o Heninger Park Neighborhood Water Main Improvements
o Thornton Park Neighborhood Water Main Improvements
o Riverview West Neighborhood Water Main Improvements
o Madison Park Water Main Improvements
• Sewer Main Improvements
o Washington Square Sewer Main Improvements
o Santa Ana Memorial Park Neighborhood Sewer Main Improvements o Wright Street and Old Grand Sewer Main Improvements
o Warner-Garnsey Street Sewer Main Improvements
o Casa Bonita Neighborhood Sewer Main Improvements
o Riverview West Neighborhood Sewer Main Improvements
Operations & Maintenance Plan
The water enterprise’s FY 2025/26 budget includes $73.5 million in operating expenses, of which $26.6 million is for the purchase of water supplies and $3.2 million is for the cost of electrical power to pump, treat, and distribute the water. Costs for wholesale water as well as electrical power are expected to continue climbing year over year.

Maintenance of the City’s public water systems must adhere to strict standards set at both the State and Federal levels. Additionally, the presence of PFAS in the groundwater supplies has required unprecedented investment in PFAS treatment facilities, which will result in additional annual maintenance and operations costs for the City. Total operating expenses are expected to increase by approximately 4% each year, based on applying specific inflation factors to each budget line item. By the end of the five-year rate-setting period, total operating expenses are expected to reach $89.4 million. Without adjustments to revenues, sustaining current service levels over the planning period would be unsustainable.

The sewer enterprise’s FY 2025/26 budget includes $8.8 million in operating expenses.

Maintenance requirements of the City’s sewer system are generally steady and in accordance with the City’s adopted Sewer System Management Plan which is on file with the State. Total operating expenses are expected to increase by approximately 4% each year, based on applying specific inflation factors to each budget line item. By the end of the five-year rate-setting period, total operating expenses are expected to reach $10.7 million. At the current revenue rate, present service levels would be unattainable after fiscal year 2029 without completely depleting the reserve balance.

Financial Plan
The study examined revenue needs over the next 10 years, including expenditures for operations and maintenance, as well as anticipated capital improvements, for the water and sewer enterprises. The main inputs to the financial plan include operating expenses and inflation (including the cost of wholesale water and power), capital investment and funding sources, reserve targets, and debt service coverage requirements. The reserve policy for each utility includes the following three elements:
• Operating Reserve – three (3) months operating expenses • Capital Reserve – 50% of the average annual capital investment over 10 years (i.e. $4 million)
• Emergency Reserve - $4 million to address unanticipated system needs Revenues for the water and sewer enterprises are not keeping pace with increasing operating costs. As a result, existing revenues do not provide adequate funding to support planned capital improvements or to build and maintain reserve balances at levels recommended by the consultant and consistent with generally accepted industry practices. Over time, this limits the utilities’ capacity to reinvest in aging infrastructure or to maintain reserve and debt coverage benchmarks typically reviewed in ongoing evaluations by S&P Global Ratings, which can influence future credit ratings and borrowing costs.

The study evaluated phased rate adjustments over a five-year period to address these longer-term needs. Under the proposed rate plan, both the water and sewer enterprises are projected to gradually build reserve balances, maintain appropriate debt service City Council 8 – 5 1/20/2026

coverage, and fund planned capital improvements in a manner that supports reliable service and long-term financial sustainability.

In brief, these recommended rates evaluated in the study are intended to:
• Fully fund utility operations
o Costs to replenish the groundwater basin
o Costs to purchase imported water
o Costs for electrical power
• Fund capital improvements
o Funds $8 million a year in average water capital spending o Funds $5 million a year in sewer capital spending
• Contribute to healthy reserve balances
o Ensure the day-to-day operations of each enterprise will continue during emergencies
o Promote the future stability of each enterprise
• Maintain debt service coverage requirements
o Net revenue must exceed 120% of debt payments each year • Ensure our credit rating remains strong
Rate Design
Legal requirements surrounding water and sewer rate setting in California continue to evolve. In recent years the courts have made rulings with respect to California Constitution Article XIII (Proposition 218) that have created a higher “cost of service” standard for rate setting. Bottom line, the burden of proof is on the public water and sewer agencies to demonstrate that all aspects of water and sewer rates are directly proportionate to the cost of providing service. This means aligning fixed revenue (fixed charges) with fixed costs and variable revenue (usage rates) with variable costs, as well as ensuring rates for all customer classes are equitable.

The proposed water and sewer rates are structured to directly align with the water and sewer utility costs in a manner that fully complies with the current Proposition 218 requirements. Water usage rates are tied to the cost of purchasing water and electricity, while water fixed charges are aligned with the utility’s fixed costs such as maintenance and capital spending. Water usage rates will continue to be two-tiered, with Tier 1 water having a lower cost aligned with the cost of groundwater, and Tier 2 water having a higher cost aligned with the cost of imported water supplies. All customer classes will be charged under the same tier structure and the limit between Tier 1 and Tier 2 water usage will be based on water meter size such that, on average, water usage will be 85% on Tier 1 and 15% on Tier 2 across all customers.

Sewer rates are proposed to be fixed for all customers based on the size of their water meter, as the size of the water meter is proportionate to the amount of water returned to the sewer system.

Typical Bill Impact
The financial impact of the proposed revenue adjustments and rate structure changes on the typical customer was carefully evaluated. The overall increase in the combined typical bill of a single-family residential customer will be $7.12 per month (based on the average of 8,975 gallons of water used per month by typical residential customer).

In addition to the proposed rate adjustments, the City is planning to transition from the current bi-monthly billing cycle to monthly billing following implementation of the Smart Water Meter Program. Monthly billing is intended to provide customers with more timely and manageable billing information and offers several benefits compared to bi-monthly billing, including:
• Improved ability for households to budget for and anticipate utility expenses • Lower individual bill amounts (though billed more frequently), which may make bills easier to manage and pay on time
• Earlier notification of leaks or unusual water use, allowing customers to take corrective action within approximately 30 days rather than waiting up to 60 days under the current billing cycle
When compared to neighboring cities, the typical Santa Ana customer will continue to pay a lower amount, on average, for water services as compared to other Orange County cities such as Garden Grove, La Habra, Fullerton, Tustin, Newport Beach, and San Clemente (Exhibit 4). Similarly, customers will continue to pay a lower amount, on average, for sewer service as compared to other Orange County cities such as Huntington Beach, Orange, Newport Beach, Fullerton, and San Clemente (Exhibit 5).

Staff recommends City Council authorize and direct staff to prepare all required documents necessary to proceed with the notification of proposed water and sewer rate City Council 8 – 7 1/20/2026

Dear Mr. Fernandez,
Robert D. Niehaus, Inc. is pleased to provide this Financial Planning, Revenue Requirements, Cost of Service, and Rate Setting Analysis report to the City of Santa Ana for its Water and Sewer services.

This rate study includes a financial plan to determine the revenue requirements for the next five years and a comprehensive review of the City’s current rates based on the cost of service principles. This report outlines the approach, methodology, findings, and recommendations of the study. Each of the components of this study has enhanced the equitability of the rates we propose.

The proposed rates were developed utilizing the City’s customer usage data, billing records, accounting, operating and management records, capital plans, and reserve policies. Based on the Cityprovided data, key assumptions were made for the study using appropriate resources and our econometric and financial expertise. We are confident that the rates proposed in this report are costbased and are fully compliant with Proposition 218 and other legal requirements.

It has been an absolute pleasure and honor to work with your city. We thank you and all additional staff who helped complete this report.

Respectfully submitted,
Robert D. Niehaus, Ph.D. Anthony Elowsky M.A.

1 City of Santa Ana – 2026 Water and Sewer Rate Study

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1 Background
The City of Santa Ana is one of the oldest cities in Orange County and was incorporated in 1886.

Governed by a seven-member City Council, the City Public Works Agency (PWA) provides the core services of potable water production and distribution, recycled water distribution, and wastewater collection in its service area. The City encompasses an area of approximately 27.5 square miles and serves a population of 311,000 through roughly 47,100 water meters connected to the City’s water system, which includes fireline and recycled water meters. Out of the total water meters, there are around 45,500 potable water meters. There are also approximately 42,000 sewer service connections. The Water Utility consists of 20 active groundwater wells, 8 reservoirs, 7 water connections to Metropolitan Water District (MWD), 16 interconnections with neighboring water utilities, and 478 miles of water mains.

The Sewer Enterprise consists of approximately 390 miles of sanitary sewer lines, 9,000 manholes, 48,500 sewer laterals, and 2 sewer lift stations. All sewage is conveyed to the Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) for treatment.

The City last performed a Cost of Service and Rate study in 2019. On November 19, 2019, the City Council adopted a 5-year rate plan for the City’s water and sewer services. Since adopting the 2019 rate plan, PWA has completed several major infrastructure projects, including well rehabilitation, the addition of new wells, and the implementation of a smart water meter program. The last adopted rate adjustment took effect on July 1, 2023. Due to a number of factors, water and sewer rates have not been adjusted in nearly three years. During this same time period, the cost for delivering Santa Ana’s award-winning drinking water and maintaining its sewer systems have increased significantly. In the past two years, both the Metropolitan Water Agency and the Orange County Water District, the agencies that supply and manage the region’s imported water and groundwater basin have raised their rates by 15% and 22.1% respectively.

Revenues for the water and sewer enterprises are not keeping pace with increasing operating costs. As a result, existing revenues do not provide adequate funding to support planned capital improvements or to build and maintain reserve balances at levels recommended by the consultant and consistent with generally accepted industry practices. Over time, this limits the utilities’ capacity to reinvest in aging infrastructure or to maintain reserve and debt coverage benchmarks typically reviewed in ongoing evaluations by S&P Global Ratings, which can influence future borrowing costs. In more recent years, operating expenses have continued to increase while revenues have remained relatively unchanged, City Council 8 – 19 1/20/2026
2 City of Santa Ana – 2026 Water and Sewer Rate Study
reducing the utilities’ ability to build and maintain reserve balances and meet reserve and debt service coverage benchmarks commonly reviewed in ongoing credit evaluations.

Additionally, since Council last adopted a rate structure, there has been new case law regarding water and sewer rates, creating additional criteria for compliance with Proposition 218. In 2025, two cases (Howard Jarvis Taxpayer’s Assn. v. Coachella Valley Water District and Patz v. City of San Diego) provided additional guidance on public water agency rate-setting practices. The City’s rate structure must be adjusted to comply with these new case law requirements and ensure that rates are fair and equitable and do not subsidize or benefit one customer class versus another (for example, low-income rates or different rates for residential vs. industrial users are not allowed).

PWA has completed both a water and sewer infrastructure master plan which identifies critical projects that should be constructed over the next 15 years. While PWA has excelled at making cost-effective repairs and rehabilitations, continued deferral of capital project investment will eventually result in system failure and loss of critical assets. The infrastructure master plans identified that both the water and sewer utilities need significant investment in the repair and rehabilitation of their aging infrastructure. The proposed rate plan allows for the City to invest an average of $8 million annually on water capital improvements and $5 million annually on sewer capital improvements over the next 5 years.

The study evaluated phased rate adjustments over a five-year period to address these longer-term needs. Under the proposed rate plan, both the water and sewer enterprises are projected to gradually build reserve balances, maintain appropriate debt service coverage, and fund planned capital improvements in a manner that supports reliable service and long-term financial sustainability.

1.2 Purpose of Study
The purpose of this analysis is to conduct a rate study which evaluates the City’s current utility rates and financial data and propose new rates for its Water and Sewer services, if necessary, to meet the City’s financial and strategic goals. Strategic goals include funding critical capital improvements and increasing system resilience.

The primary objectives of this Study include:
• Projecting revenues and expenses for a ten-year study period • Proposing five-year revenue adjustments to fund the City’s operational and capital plans to ensure long-term performance of the systems
• Addressing the City’s aging infrastructure by supporting timely replacements to prevent failures • Proposing rates that aim to minimize the impact on customers • Producing an administrative record which effectively summarizes all findings • Supporting the City through the Proposition 218 process

1.3 Rate Recommendations and Proposed Rates

Current Water Rates
Currently, the City’s water customers pay a bi-monthly fixed charge based on the customer’s meter size and customer class. Customers also pay variable charges based on water use, which is billed per hundred cubic feet (ccf). The tier width for customers with tiered rates is based on their customer class and their meter size. Recycled water customers only have one billing tier. The current rates as described are displayed in Table 1, Table 2, and Table 3.

Proposed Water Rates
RDN proposes the following rate and revenue adjustments to accomplish the City’s financial goals of capital and reserve funding as well as maintaining debt service coverage requirement. To achieve the proposed financial plan, RDN recommends that the City raise water revenues by 9.0 percent in May of 2026, 9.0 percent in July of 2027, 9.0 percent in July of 2028, 9.0 percent in July of 2029, and 8.0 percent in July of 2030.

Revenue Adjustment 9.0% 9.0% 9.0% 9.0% 8.0%
Costs were allocated equitably between all customers during the cost of service analysis. Costs of providing water service are allocated to each customer class based on two factors: (a) the specific services and costs they cause the City to incur; and (b) the proportional share attributable to the meter size based on that meter’s potential demand on the system. The rates for each meter size represent an equitable portion of the total cost of service for each class allocated to the respective meter based on the calculations shown in the Cost of Service Analysis. Variable rates are based on the available sources of water supply and reflect the City’s water portfolio limitations. The tier 1 width for each meter represents the equitable allocation of groundwater based on the increased capacity paid for by larger meters. The City will implement rate adjustments on May 1
st of 2026 and then on July 1st of successive years. The proposed rates which result from these adjustments are shown in Table 5, Table 6, and Table 7.

The recommended sewer rates include a revenue adjustment schedule designed to contribute to the City’s reserves and fund significant capital improvements. RDN, working with City staff, determined that an annual revenue adjustment of 13.5 percent in May 2026, followed by a 13.5 percent annual adjustment July 2027, and then 10.0 adjustments July 2028 through July 2030 would fund the recommended financial plan. The proposed rates also revise the rate structure. Notably, the City’s current sewer rate ratios are City Council 8 – 26 1/20/2026

METHODOLOGY

2.1 General Methodology
The Water and Sewer rates were developed using requirements set forth in article XIII D, Section 6 of the California Constitution. Where appropriate and to the extent consistent with the California Constitution, RDN looked to guidance provided by principles set forth by the American Water Works Association (AWWA) and the Water Environment Federation (WEF). RDN rate-making practices incorporate methods described in the AWWA Manual 1 (M1)1for Water Systems and the WEF Financing and Charges for Sewer Systems2 wherever possible. Figure 2 presents the steps taken to develop the City’s proposed rates.

Figure 2. Water and Sewer Rate Study Process
• Financial Planning and Revenue Requirements: develop a ten-year financial plan based on the projected revenues and annual costs which include operating, debt service, and capital expenses.

The City’s target reserve level should also be considered as part of the financial planning. Based on the financial planning, revenue requirements are determined for each year of the study period. • Cost of Service: evaluate the customer classifications and allocate costs based on their service requirements.
• Rate Design: design rates to equitably recover the rate revenue requirements from each customer. 1 Principles of Water Rates, Fees, and Charges, Seventh Edition, Manual of Water Supply Practices, American Water Works Association

2.2 Key Assumptions
A test year, FY 2026, was selected for which costs are to be analyzed and rates to be established for this study. The financial plan was built for the next ten years, including the five-year study period with a detailed revenue adjustment plan. The cost of service rates are adjusted each year by the determined revenue adjustments based on the financial plan. The City’s fiscal year starts on July 1 and ends on June

30. Escalation Factors
The financial plan was built based on an assumption in the projected escalation of revenues and expenses associated with both operations and maintenance (O&M) and capital improvement projects (CIPs). Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim Consumer Price Index (CPI), Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (FRED) Economic Research Division, Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW), and Engineering News Record (ENR) Building Cost Index (BCI).

Escalation factors used in this study are shown in Table 13. The Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim geography was chosen.

The overall escalation factor is derived solely from the All Items series of the BLS Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim CPI. The All Items series represents a broad measure of the average change in prices over time for a wide array of goods and services. The market basket includes categories such as food and beverage, housing, apparel, transportation, medical, and other goods and services.

The Utilities escalation factor is derived from the Fuels and utilities and Energy series of the BLS Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim CPI. RDN takes a weighted average of the Energy and Fuels and Utilities data sets to form a combined utilities inflation factor. This escalation factor accurately captures the costs associated with energy consumption and utility service.

The payroll escalation factor was provided by City Staff based on historical actual costs and unknown impacts of employee bargaining unit negotiations.

The fuels and automobile escalation factor is derived from the Private Transportation, Fuels and Utilities, and Motor Fuel series of the BLS Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim CPI. RDN takes a weighted average of the Private Transportation, Fuels and utilities, and Motor Fuel data sets to form a combined Fuels and Automobile inflation factor.

The Construction escalation factor is derived using ENR’s BCI for the selected geography. ENR publishes a building cost index for Los Angeles, San Francisco, California, and the National level. RDN analyzed all four indices and, in coordination with staff, ultimately selected the index which best represents the building cost environment in the Agency, the Los Angeles BCI.

Customer growth projections were developed based on an analysis of historical billing records and longterm growth trends observed within the City. Additionally, per-account water use was assumed to remain stable throughout the study period.

Water
There are currently approximately 47,100 water meters connected to the City’s water system, which includes fireline and recycled water meters in addition to the around 45,500 potable water meters. In ten years, 47,627 meters are projected. A total of 269 new Water Service connections are projected to join the water system during the 5-year rate setting period, approximately 53 per year. Figure 3 shows the annual water customer growth for the study period. Table 14 shows the projected number of meters for all customer classes during the rate setting period.

Equivalent Meter Size
When designing fixed water service charges, the potential demand or capacity requirements placed on the water system can be measured by the size of installed meters which receive services from the system.

The safe operating flow (or capacity) of a particular size of the meter is essentially the limiting factor in terms of the demand that can be exerted on the water system through the meter. Larger meters typically pay a higher cost to join the system, and higher fixed rates. The ratio of the safe operating capacity of various sizes of meters relative to the capacity of a base meter may be used to determine appropriate charges for the larger meter sizes3. The City considers 5/8” x 3/4” meters as the base meter capacity.

The capacity ratio is calculated using the meter capacities in gallons per minute (gpm) provided in the AWWA M1 for meters larger than 3/4 inch. The sewer ratios used in this study reflect the actual average winter flow ratios by meter size for a two-month billing period, December and January, and are calculated using ccf. Table 18 show the equivalent water meter ratios used in this study for standard meters. Table 19 shows the average winter use ratios by meter size which will be used for the sewer cost of service analysis.

WATER UTILITY

3.1 Financial Plan
RDN built a 10-year financial model for the water utility to meet the City’s long-term financial goals.

Demand Projections
Using historical billing records, RDN first calculated aggregate water usage to establish a baseline for demand projections. We then determined per-account usage for each customer class by dividing total usage by the number of accounts. For the purposes of this study, per-account usage was assumed to remain constant over the forecast period. This assumption allows projected changes in water demand to be driven solely by changes in the number of accounts. Finally, projected account counts were multiplied by per-account usage to estimate total water demand by customer class. Figure 4 shows the City’s projected water demand over the next ten years.

Figure 5. Rate Study CIP Expenses by Funding Source, FY 2026 to FY 2031 Debt Service and Coverage Ratios
The water utility has three outstanding debt issuances that are currently being paid by rates: the 2024 Series Revenue bond, the DWSRF Well 32 Nitrate Treatment and Rehabilitation Project loan, and the DWSRF Automate Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Project loan. Total annual debt payments are around $4.1 million a year. Table 27 shows the water utility’s annual debt payments used in this study.

The City’s debt service coverage requirement under its current covenants is 125 percent, or 1.25 times the operating expenses. Maintaining a healthy debt coverage ratio will help the City keep a good credit rating and will allow the City to service issue debt at lower rates. Table 28 shows the current debt service coverage calculation based on the revenues and expenses under current rates. 9 Debt service payment schedules taken from original loan agreements provided by City staff City Council 8 – 39 1/20/2026

Reserves
The City must maintain an appropriate reserve balance to ensure the day-to-day operation will continue during emergencies and guarantee the future stability of the system. The City’s financial goal is to build an appropriate level of cash reserves for each reserve fund included in the financial plan of this Study.

The reserve target for the water utility is described below:
• Operating Reserve: three months of operating expenses • Capital Reserve: 50 percent of the 10-year average in planned rate funded capital expenditures10 • Emergency Reserve: $4.0 million
The reserve target at the end of the study period reaches $30.3 million. Table 29 shows the City’s reserve targets for FY 2026 through FY 2031 based on the current reserve policy. Figure 6 displays the resulting cash balances versus the reserve target under the current rates. Reserve targets based on reserve policy shown in Table 16 and operating and capital expenditure totals shown in Tables 25 and 26, respectively.

Based on the projected total revenue and necessary costs to be recovered during the study period, RDN built a financial plan that will generate sufficient revenues for the day-to-day operation and annual PAYGO and make appropriate contributions to reserves. The City currently has a projected ending cash balance of $4.0 million in FY 2025, which constitutes the beginning balance for FY 2026. Table 30 shows the status quo water pro forma with no revenue adjustments and the resulting ending balances based on the revenues and expenses outlined in this section.

Revenue Requirements
Table 32 displays the water utility’s revenue requirements for FY 2026. In the rate design section, the proposed revenue adjustments will be applied to the cost of service-based rates which were designed considering the FY 2026 revenues and expenses. The total expense for each year is offset by other operating revenues and non-operating revenues to compute a pure portion of revenue requirements that need to be recovered from customers’ rates. RDN proposes annual revenue adjustments in FY 2026 through FY 2031 to reach the financial goals set by the City.

3.2 Cost of Service Analysis
The purpose of a Cost of Service (COS) analysis is to allocate costs among customers commensurate with their service requirements. RDN employed the “commodity-demand” cost-of-service method promulgated in AWWA’s M1, whereby costs are first allocated to individual functions, which are typical industry standard activities, then the costs of each function are distributed to appropriate cost causative components, which are defined by the cost driving elements. Figure 7 displays a typical process for the COS analysis.

Figure 7. A Typical Flow for Cost of Service Analysis Process Functionalization of Costs
Operating and capital costs are functionalized based on operating categories used in the City’s budget and input from City staff with expertise on the system and utility industry knowledge. The functionalization of non-operating expenses is based on total water asset values, which represents a better overall estimate of systemwide needs versus just one year of capital expenditure. The non-operating expenses for the test year are made up of debt service payments and capital expenditures totaling approximately $6.7 million. The functions of the water system for both operating and non-operating expenses include:
• Water Supply – costs associated with water procurement and purchases • Groundwater – costs associated with groundwater procurement • Storage – costs associated with water storage for distribution • Transmission and Distribution – costs associated with transmitting and distributing water to customers
• Pumping – costs associated with general pumping and energy use • Treatment – costs associated with treating water

• Customer – costs associated with customer service and billing related tasks • Meters – costs associated with the reading and maintenance of meters • Hydrants – costs associated with maintaining public fire hydrants • Recycled – Costs associated with the provision and administration of the recycled water system • Administrative and General – costs associated with administrative and general functions Costs and assets were functionalized based on the City’s standard budget determinations and input from staff on a line-item basis. Table 33 shows the amount and percentage of the test year’s operating expenses allocated to each function. Table 34 shows the amount and percentage of the City’s fixed assets allocated to each function. Total assets were used as a proxy for the allocation of non-operating expenses because they represent the long-term investment in the system made by the City. A single year of non-operating expenses typically does not reflect an adequate ratio of overall system investments.

A COS analysis considers both the average quantity of water consumed (base costs) and the highest rate at which it is consumed (peaking or capacity costs as identified by maximum demands compared to base demands). Capacity costs are costs that are incurred during peak times of consumption. There are additional costs associated with designing, constructing, operating, and maintaining facilities to meet the highest capacity of use. All current and future water facilities, including water mains, pump stations, City Council 8 – 46 1/20/2026
29 City of Santa Ana – 2026 Water and Sewer Rate Study
reservoirs, wells, and treatment plants, are designed and constructed to meet this capacity. If deficiencies are found, the existing facilities get upsized, or a secondary line or pump is installed. These peak demand costs should be allocated to those customers whose potential use generates additional costs for the utility, such as larger meters. In other words, not all customers share the same responsibility for capacity related costs. The percent of delivery capacity over an average day or base delivery was determined by using actual customer billing records. Table 35 shows the total water use. Table 36 shows actual potable customer water use by billing period. Table 37 shows the average and the highest bi-monthly potable water use divided by the number of days included in the period. The June billing period includes 61 days, so to calculate the daily use during the peak billing period, the total use in that period is divided by the increment.

Table 38 shows the systemwide capacity factors based on customer use patterns as described. Delivery capacity is equal to max day divided by average day. The percentage of delivery capacity over base delivery represents the additional capacity demands which create the need for upsizing system assets to 11 Total potable water use is based on FY 2025 billing records City Council 8 – 47 1/20/2026

provide service under the highest water use conditions. The peak capacity costs are applied only to the fixed charges. Base costs are applied to both fixed and variable rates because a portion of those costs can be attributable to increased water demand such as treatment costs and the occurrence of water leaks, which require maintenance as well as development of additional storage to provide water availability.

The cost causative components include:
• Source of Supply – water purchase costs, groundwater procurement, pumping costs, etc. • Base Delivery – delivering water to customers under average demand conditions • Delivery Capacity– the costs of delivering water to customers with the highest demand • Meters – the costs of servicing and reading meters
• Customer Service – billing and other customer service-related costs • Recycled Water – costs directly allocated to recycled water customers Water supply and groundwater costs are allocated 100 percent to the Supply component as they relate to purchasing water from other agencies as well as groundwater. Pumping costs are also allocated 100 precent to the supply component as pumping occurs to procure groundwater. Storage, Transmission and Distribution, and Treatment costs are proportionally allocated between base and delivery capacity based on annual water demand patterns shown in Table 38 since all infrastructure is constructed to meet base and capacity water use requirements. The Storage, Treatment, and Maintenance and Engineering (termed Transmission and Distribution in the cost of service analysis) budget categories include costs that may either increase with water use (Base Delivery) or are fixed based on the capacity of system assets (Delivery Capacity). These costs are allocated 85.2 percent to base and 14.8 to capacity. Meter, hydrant, and customer costs are allocated to those categories based on input from City staff. Recycled water costs are allocated between supply (0.8 percent) and recycled water components (99.8 percent) to account for the potable water saved in relation to recycled water consumption. Administrative and general costs are allocated to cost components based on the percentage of the functions allocated to the other cost categories excluding source of supply costs.

Table 39 through Table 42 show the percent and total value of functionalized operating costs and assets allocated to the cost causative components. Meter and customer service costs were allocated directly to their respective component.

Those costs are distributed to the cost components based on the final percentages shown in Table 42, above, which are based on the total asset values of water assets owned by the City. Water asset values represent the long-term investment in the City’s water system and serve as a proxy value for how a single year of non-operating expenses should be allocated.

Water systems deliver water to public and private fire lines. Public fire lines are generally visible as hydrants on the street, and are designed to deliver water in sufficient quantities and pressures to fight fires on properties served by the water system. Private fire lines provide fire flow to building and other structure sprinkler systems for fire suppression within private improvements. To determine the share of total fire flow costs responsible to each, fire flow must additionally be allocated between private and public fire connections. There are a total of 1,580 private fire connections which are equal to 249,958 equivalent fire meters. Total public fire connections are equal to 559,560 equivalent meters. Table 46 shows the potable water connections and meter equivalents.

The allocation of fire costs is based on the ratio of equivalent fire meters, 69.1 percent for public fire and 30.9 percent for private fire. The total meter equivalents are made up of all potable water EMs and fire EMs. A unit cost for the value of a single meter is determined by dividing the total allocation of meter costs in Table 45 by the total equivalent meters. Table 48 shows the unit cost for each meter equivalent.

Allocation to Customers
All customers are billed based on their meter size and water use level. The total revenue requirements reflect the final cost allocation in Table 45. These totals will be applied to customers based on the corresponding number of units allocated to that customer in the rate design.

Allocation to Units
The final step of the COS analysis is to allocate the cost causative components back to the customers.

In order to perform this, unit values were determined for each cost component. • Source of supply and recycled water costs will be further subdivided in the rate design stage based on internal parameters of each, so those costs are wholly applied to their respective category in one unit.
• The number of potable equivalent meters will be used to distribute fixed base delivery related service costs.
• The total potable water use will be used to distribute the portion of base delivery related service costs which were allocated to the variable rate.
• The number of potable equivalent meters will be used to distribute fixed delivery capacity related service costs.
• The number of potable equivalent meters will be used to distribute meter related service costs. • The number of bills in one year (the number of accounts multiplied by 12) serves as the basis for distributing billing and customer service costs associated with customer billing and collection, and other customer services costs.
• The number of potable equivalent meters will be used to distribute public fire related service costs. • The number of private fire equivalent meters will be used to distribute private fire related service costs.

Table 51 shows the total cost allocation by cost component divided by the corresponding unit values to develop a unit cost for each.

3.3 Water Rate Design
RDN proposes the following adjustments to customer water rate structures:
• Adjusting rates annually by the recommended revenue adjustments of 9.0 percent in May 2026, followed by 9.0 percent annual adjustments July 2027 through July 2029, with a final adjustment of 8.0 percent in July 2030
• Combining all customers into a single customer class
• Introducing monthly billing
• Adjusting tier widths to reflect current water supply ratios The water rates currently have two components: 1) a fixed bi-monthly service charge and 2) volumetric rates. Customers must pay the fixed charge regardless of the water use. In addition, the customers pay volumetric rates based on the volume of water use.

The proposed rates will include the following components:

1. Fixed monthly service charge: the rates are established based on the size of the meter at the property receiving water service and are calculated to recover a portion of the City’s fixed costs, such as water facilities repairs and replacements, the capacity of that meter, meter reading, and customer service.

2. Variable rates: the rates are calculated based on the cost of water supplies, the cost of managing the City’s water resources at regular levels and distributing water throughout the system to customers. The remaining fixed costs (base delivery) that are not recovered via fixed charges are also recovered from variable charges. These fixed costs are incurred based on the total volume of water used and include water storage, treatment, and engineering and maintenance of the transmission system. The variable rates are billed per hundred cubic feet based on two tiers.

Together, the two components (fixed and variable) are calculated to recover the proportionate cost of providing water service attributable to each customer
Monthly Fixed Charge
All meter, delivery capacity, and public fire and some base delivery costs are divided by the number of equivalent meters using the AWWA ratio discussed in the Key Assumptions section to compute the unit cost for each cost component. Customer service costs are simply divided by the number of bills since the service requirements of this cost type are the same regardless of the meter size installed on a property.

category, and the cost for a year and a monthly period of service for each cost unit for potable retail and private fire customers, respectively. The resulting monthly unit costs are used to calculate the fixed customer rates.

Variable Water Rates
Variable rates are designed based on variable costs such as water supply and base delivery costs. The current rate structure was maintained to the extent possible mitigate rate impacts. Variable rates are made up of a number of cost components, all derived based on actual customer use data: Water Supply and Base Costs. Water supply costs are offset by the City’s non-operating revenues.

Tier Widths
The City’s current tier widths take into account the availability of water supply for each customer class and meter size. The widths were designed based on common use characteristics and the capacity investment14 of different meter sizes. The current widths are shown in Table 2. The proposed tier widths are applied equally to all customer classes to ensure equitability between customers. To determine equitable tier widths, an analysis of available water supplies was completed. Total water demand is projected to be 13.5 million ccf. Table 58 shows the total available water supplies under each supply category based on the percentage of supply.

Total 100.0% 13,536,745
Groundwater 85.0% 11,506,233
Purchased Water 15.0% 2,030,512
In order to allocate the available groundwater to Tier 1, the total supply available was divided by the number of bills. Table 59 shows the available groundwater supply divided by the number of annual bills. The base availability of tier 1 is 21 ccf.

Using the base derivation for all meter sizes, however, leads to much more water use under tier 2 than the available supply with most tier 2 use being allocated to larger meters. Table 60 shows the total water use under each tier if the base water derivation is used.

Table 60. Water Demand Under Base Derivation
Use Category Water Use Percent of Use
Total Water Demand 13,536,745
Tier 1 6,304,559 46.6%
Tier 2 7,232,186 53.4%
To ensure that 85 percent of water is billed at the Tier 1 rate based on actual water use patterns a uniform tier width would need to equal 550 ccf a month. Under a uniform tier width, smaller meters would never reach the tier 2 threshold and thus would not be paying for the required 15 percent of purchased water.

To ensure that customers are responsible for and have access to each available water source, the base water supply will be available to smaller meters, while large meters will increase the monthly supply based on their capacity ratio. This derivation takes into account both the increased investment made by larger meters when they buy in to the system, as well as the higher fixed monthly charges proposed, which pay for additional capacity demands on the system. The proposed tier widths also maintain the logic of the current rate structure and will lead to less impact on customers. Table 61 shows the updated tier widths based on the available water supply.

Water Supply Costs
The City’s primary water source is local groundwater. The City’s water supply agreements require that 15 percent of the annual supply be purchased water, which is more expensive than groundwater. Water supply costs were separated based on whether they were directly attributable to water purchases or if the costs were general to all water supply. Table 62 shows the supply cost categories identified in the City’s budget and the total costs allocated to each category.

Table 62. Total Supply Costs by Source15
Cost Category Total Cost Percent
Total Supply Costs $40,993,385 100.0%
Groundwater $23,482,100 57.3%
Purchased Water $9,719,350 23.7%
Other Supply Costs $7,791,935 19.0%
In order to identify unit costs for each cost category, available supply was evaluated under each category.

Table 63 shows the total available water under each supply category, which is then divided by the total cost of that category to determine a unit cost for supply under each category.

Table 63. Water Supply Costs by Water Source and Unit Cost Supply Category Total Cost Percent of Units Total Units Cost per Unit Total $40,993,385 100.0% 13,536,745 $3.03

Unit costs for each tier were determined by including the actual water use per tier using the tier widths under the adjusted tier derivation shown in Table 61. Table 64 shows the calculation used to determine the unit costs for each supply source in each tier.

Table 65. Other Water Supply Unit Cost
Other Supply Costs Water Use Unit Cost
$7,791,935 ÷ 13,536,745 = $0.58
Base Delivery Costs
Base delivery costs are divided by total water use to determine the unit cost shown in Table 66 . The base unit cost is applied to all water use.

Table 66. Base Delivery Unit Cost
Base Costs Water Use Unit Cost
$5,789,032 ÷ 13,536,745 = $0.43
Revenue Offset
Revenue offsets are only applied to tier 1 water use, so the total available funds are divided by the projected use in that tier. Allocating offsets to tier 1 ensures all customers benefit from the non-operating revenue for all usage. Table 67 shows the calculation to determine unit values for the revenue offset.

Table 67. Revenue Offset Unit Credit

Tier 1 -$1,496,196 ÷ 10,156,619 = -$0.15
Tier 2 $0 ÷ 0 = $0.00
Table 68 shows the calculation used to determine the variable rates. Supply costs are added to base costs to calculate the variable rates. Rates are then reduced by revenue offsets, which were set aside in the cost of service analysis.

Table 68. Variable Rate Calculation

Tier 2 $3.69 + $0.58 + $0.43 + $0.00 = $4.69
The rates will be escalated by the revenue adjustments and the five-year rate schedule is shown in Table

69. Each adjustment will occur in January, midway through the fiscal year.

Recycled Water Rates
The rates for recycled water customers are calculated using the direct costs allocated to the recycled water system in the Cost of Service Analysis, $470,172. Recycled water customers also pay fixed and variable charges; however, the variable charge only contains one tier, because there is only one source of water available. In order to maintain equity with other customers, the same fixed rates are applied to recycled water customers. The remaining costs which are not recovered from fixed rates are then applied to the variable rate. Similar to the potable water rates, some fixed costs may be recovered through the variable rate; however, those costs vary with the total water demand on the system. Table 70 shows the total revenue generated from the cost of service rates for recycled customers. Monthly billed amounts are multiplied by the number of meters in each category.

SEWER UTILITY

4.1 Financial Plan
RDN built a 10-year financial model for the City of Santa Ana’s sewer system to meet the system’s longterm financial goals. The detailed rate analysis was performed for the first five years.

Revenues
RDN conducted a revenue analysis using the current sewer rates. The City currently collects fixed revenues from all customers. Fixed revenue forecasts are based on the customer growth assumptions described in the Methodology Section. Table 73 shows the projected rate revenue under the current rates.

The revenue analysis also includes other operating and non-operating revenues such as penalties and NPDES water. These revenues are used to offset the revenue requirements that need to be recovered from customers’ rates. This projection was created under the status quo rates and does not include proposed revenue adjustments.

The system’s total revenue for the study period is estimated to be approximately $9.8 million annually under the current rates. Table 74 shows the projected sewer system revenues by category for the study period (FY 2026 – FY 2031) without any revenue adjustments. Projections are based on customer growth projections as well as other operating and non-operating revenue estimates provided by City staff.

Other obligations included in the financial plan are capital improvement projects funded by PAYGO (Pay As You Go), debt service obligations, and reserve contributions made from rates.

Capital Improvement Projects
The City plans to spend an average of $5.0 million a year on sewer rate funded capital expenditures during the rate setting period. Table 76 shows the capital expenditure by expenditure type. The City plans to use customer rates to accomplish the proposed capital plan. Figure 9 graphically shows the rate study capital plan by funding source, only PAYGO funded expenditure will impact customer rates.

Reserves
The City must maintain an appropriate reserve balance to ensure the day-to-day operation will continue during emergencies and guarantee the future stability of the system. The City’s financial goal is to build an appropriate level of cash reserves for each reserve fund included in the financial plan of this Study.

The reserve target for the sewer utility is described below:
• Operating Reserve Funds: three months of operating expenses • Capital Reserve: 50% of ten year average of capital expenditures • Emergency Reserve: $4.0 million
The reserve target at the end of the study period reaches $9.1 million. Table 79 shows the City’s reserve targets for FY 2026 through FY 2031 based on the current reserve policy. Figure 10 displays the resulting cash balances versus the reserve target under the current rates. Reserve targets based on reserve policy shown in Table 17 and operating and capital totals shown in Tables 75 and 76, respectively.

Financial Plan
Based on the projected total revenue and necessary costs to be recovered during the study period, RDN built a financial plan that will generate sufficient revenues for the day-to-day operation and annual PAYGO and make appropriate contributions to reserves. The City currently has a projected ending cash balance of $18.3 million in FY 2025, which is the beginning balance for FY 2026. Table 80 shows the status quo sewer pro forma with no revenue adjustments and the resulting ending balances based on the revenues and expenses outlined in this section.

Revenue Requirements
Table 82 displays the sewer utility’s revenue requirements FY 2026. The total expense for each year is offset by other operating revenues and non-operating revenues to compute a pure portion of revenue requirements that need to be recovered from customers’ rates. RDN proposes adjusting rates annually by the recommended revenue adjustment of 13.5 percent in May 2026, followed by a 13.5 percent annual adjustment July 2027, and then 10.0 adjustments July 2028 through July 2030 Table 82.

4.2 Cost of Service Analysis and Rate Design
In the same way as the water system’s Cost of Service analysis was performed, a sewer system’s COS analysis also utilizes a three‐step approach to allocate costs proportionally among different customers.

These steps include 1) functionalization of costs, 2) cost classification, and 3) cost allocation to customers. Provided below is a detailed discussion of the sewer COS analysis conducted for the City, and the specific steps taken for the analysis.

Figure 11. A Typical Flow for Cost of Service Analysis Process Functionalization of Costs
To allocate the cost of service among the different customer classes, costs first must be allocated to the appropriate sewer parameters. The following sections describe the allocation of the operating and capital costs of service to the appropriate parameters of the sewer system.

The total cost of sewer service is analyzed by system function in order to equitably distribute costs of service to the various classes of customers. For this analysis, sewer utility costs of service are developed consistent with the guidelines for allocating costs detailed in the Water Environment Federation (WEF) Manual of Practice No. 27, Financing and Charges for Sewer Systems.

A cost of service analysis distributes the revenue requirements (costs) to each customer class. After determining the revenue requirements, the next step is to functionalize the O&M costs based on the City’s O&M classification:
• Fixed – costs that do not vary with flow or strength, such as routine system-wide operations and maintenance
• Sewer Service – costs that are incurred for customer service related tasks Functionalization

• Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) – costs related to the FOG program City staff identified the costs which were attributable to FOG customers. FOG costs make up approximately 9 percent of the total operating costs and consist of two full-time employees and $456,628 in consulting costs. Table 83 shows the costs allocated to the FOG program and the percent of total operating expenses.

Table 83. Percent of O&M Functional Categories Allocated16 FOG Program Costs FY 2026
Full Time Employees (2) $345,432
Consulting Costs $456,658
Total Costs $802,090
Total Operating Budget $8,759,440
Percent to FOG 9%
The City’s sewer system is a conveyance only system, so all of the costs are fixed besides the level of FOG treatment. For the purposes of the cost of service analysis and rate design operating and capital costs were allocated between the 3 categories described, Fixed Costs, Service Costs, and FOG Costs.

Table 84 and Table 85 show the allocation of costs into the sewer functional categories.

Table 84. Total of Operating Functional Categories Allocated to Cost Components Cost Category Cost Percent

In developing equitable rate structures, revenue requirements are allocated to customers commensurate with customer demand and services rendered. The City does not treat sewer flow. Impacts on the sewer system are determined based on the total sewer flow for each customer category, or meter size. Total sewer flow is reflective of use of the system. The meter ratios used to allocate costs were developed based on winter water use differences between each meter size. Table 87 shows the total functional units allocated to each meter size which is used as the unit to divide the total costs allocated to each sewer function.

Costs allocated to each cost component were divided by the number of units to determine a unit cost (Table 88).

Table 88. Cost of Service Unit Cost
Rate Revenue Requirement Cost Category Units Annual Unit Cost Monthly Cost Service Costs $314,235 ÷ 41873 = $7.50 ÷ 12 $0.63

FOG Costs $774,727 ÷ 830 $933.41 ÷ 12 $77.78
Sewer Rate Calculation
The proposed sewer rates will be billed monthly. To determine these rates the Fixed cost category is multiplied by the meter ratio and then added to the customer service related costs. Table 89 presents the rate calculation and resulting monthly fixed charges for all customers. 17 Meter equivalents for sewer rates were developed based on average winter water use ratios for each meter size which reflects sewer flow differences under each meter size. See Table 19 for winter water use averages.

115 City of Santa Ana – 2026 Water and Sewer Rate Study City Council 8 – 133 1/20/2026 City Council 8 – 134 1/20/2026
Date: Tuesday, March 17, 2026
Time: 5:30 p.m.

Location: City Council Chambers
20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701
The City of Santa Ana will hold a public hearing at the time, date, and location specified above to consider a proposed five-year schedule of adjustments to the City’s water, sewer, and recycled water rates and charges.

The proposed changes are based on an independent cost-of-service study that was completed in January 2026. If adopted, the proposed rate adjustments and charges will become effective on May 1, 2026.

The public hearing will be conducted per California Constitution Article XIII D, Section 6 (also known as “Proposition 218”). This notice is being sent to all owners and customers of record whose parcels receive water, sewer service, and/or recycled water from the City of Santa Ana, who would be subject to the proposed rates and charges.

All members of the public are invited to attend the public hearing. Additionally, under California State Law, owners and customers of record may submit a written protest and/or objection to the proposed rate changes. Only one protest per parcel is permitted.

Please refer to the “How Can I Participate?” section of this document for instructions on submitting a formal written protest or objection against the proposed action. You may also appear at the public hearing at the date and time specified above.

More information, including a rate estimator, is available online at santaanautilityrates.com or scan the QR code.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
Important Information About Your Water,
Sewer, and Recycled Water Rates
City Council 8 – 135 1/20/2026

CREATING A RESILIENT AND PREPARED SYSTEM
The proposed rate changes would ensure the City of Santa Ana’s water and sewer systems remain strong and reliable. Proactive maintenance and emergency preparedness allow the City of Santa Ana to manage risks before they become costly problems. Dependable water and sewer systems enable the City of Santa Ana to respond quickly to natural disasters, droughts, or regulatory changes while maintaining high-quality service.

ADDRESSING AGING INFRASTRUCTURE
As the City of Santa Ana’s complex system of pipes, pumps, and treatment facilities ages, it becomes increasingly susceptible to leaks and breaks that can disrupt service and waste valuable resources. The proposed rates would support the upgrade of these aging components before they risk failure. By modernizing infrastructure now, the City of Santa Ana would protect service quality for current and future generations.

ADVANCING CRITICAL CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
The City of Santa Ana’s water and sewer systems need ongoing investment to meet modern standards and serve the community effectively. The proposed rate changes would help fund critical projects that strengthen the City of Santa Ana’s ability to deliver clean, safe water and reliable sewer services. Investing now would help prevent higher costs in the future and make sure the City of Santa Ana’s infrastructure keeps pace with growth and evolving technology.

The City of Santa Ana is proposing changes to its water, recycled water, and sewer rates and charges. State law requires the City of Santa Ana to charge only what it costs to provide these services while continuing to maintain essential infrastructure.

To ensure the proposed rates meet this requirement, the City of Santa Ana hired an independent consultant to complete a detailed cost-of-service study. This study confirms that the proposed rates reflect the proportional cost of delivering reliable, high-quality water, recycled water, and sewer service to our community.

This notice has been sent to all customers who may be affected by the proposed rate changes. The full cost-of-service study is available for public review at the City of Santa Ana’s Public Works Agency and on our website at santaanautilityrates.com.

As a public agency, the City of Santa Ana is required to set rates based solely on the proportional cost of providing service, not to generate profit. Customers pay only what it takes to deliver reliable water and recycled water and provide sewer service to their parcel.

Fixed vs. Variable Charges
FIXED CHARGES are independent of the amount of water used. They cover nonfluctuating costs such as capital projects, transmission, distribution, meters, and services.

VARIABLE CHARGES are calculated based on the amount of water moving through a customer’s meter. These charges cover expenses such as purchased water, electricity, and treatment chemicals.

RATE STRUCTURE
The proposed rate structure would replace the current tiered rates with an updated structure designed to provide stable and predictable revenue. This change would align water, sewer, and recycled water rates with the cost of providing service and maintaining system infrastructure. The new structure would support system resilience, modernization, and planned capital improvements.

MONTHLY BILLING
With new meter technology, the City of Santa Ana can begin issuing bills monthly instead of bimonthly. Monthly billing would provide customers with more frequent water use information and support more regular household budgeting.

This change would also improve the City of Santa Ana’s ability to monitor and manage system performance.

WATER RATES: $4.18 MONTHLY IMPACT TO TYPICAL CUSTOMER
For a typical single-family residential customer, proposed water rates would increase by an average of $4.18 per month. The proposed rate change would fund system reliability, maintenance, and improvement of the water system to meet service and regulatory requirements.

SEWER RATES: $2.94 MONTHLY IMPACT TO TYPICAL CUSTOMER
For a typical single-family residential customer, proposed sewer rates would increase by an average of $2.94 per month. The proposed rate change would fund continued operation, maintenance, and capital improvements to the sewer system to maintain compliance and service reliability.

Monthly
Proposed Retail
Fixed Charges
The proposed variable water rates would be billed based on total water used, per hundred cubic foot of use (ccf or 748 gallons). The Tier 1 width is designed to consider the available groundwater supply, which constitutes 85% of the City of Santa Ana’s water.

The base monthly allocation for 5/8” x 3/4” customers, 21 ccf, would be adjusted for larger meter sizes based on the capacity ratios of those meters relative to the base meter. The proposed variable water rates and tier widths would be applied to all customers, regardless of customer class, based on that customer’s meter size.

Fixed water rates recover the costs necessary to operate and maintain a safe and reliable water system. These charges support ongoing maintenance, repair, and replacement of water pipes, pumps, and related facilities; water quality testing; meter reading; and customer service functions. These costs are incurred regardless of the volume of water a customer uses.

Pass-Through Adjustment Policy
The City of Santa Ana is considering an update to the Pass-Through Adjustment Policy to permit additional increases in City Water Usage Charges, beginning in 2026, to offset any future increases in wholesale water rates charged by Orange County Water District and/or Metropolitan Water District to the City of Santa Ana.

Ratepayers would be notified by mail at least 30 days prior to an adjustment.

An adjustment to Tier 1 rates would be based on any approved increase in the wholesale rate charged by Orange County Water District to the City of Santa Ana (in $/CCF) for purchasing wholesale groundwater. An adjustment to Tier 2 rates would be based on any approved increase in the wholesale rate charged by Metropolitan Water District to the City of Santa Ana. Pass-through adjustments may be implemented only if future increases in wholesale water rates surpass projections, and in no event shall the pass-through adjustment exceed 15% in any given year.

For customers with a private fire service connection, this fixed fee covers the cost of providing and maintaining fire flow capacity in the water system.

Current and Proposed FOG Charges
The proposed sewer rates are based on customer meter size, regardless of customer class, and are developed by comparing the ratio of historical winter water use between each meter size.

These rates apply to restaurants and other food-related businesses subject to the City of Santa Ana’s Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) Control Program, which reduces the number of local sewer line blockages and sewage overflows. Certain limited food preparation facilities may be exempt.
6 City Council 8 – 140 1/20/2026
The City of Santa Ana welcomes your participation and input throughout the process as it considers the proposed rate changes explained in this Notice. If you have questions or comments about the proposed rates, you can:

CALL OR VISIT. For questions, please visit us at City Hall, 20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana or call: 714-647-3320. The cost-of-service study and other information on the proposed adjustments are available for review at the City of Santa Ana’s Public Works Agency and on our website: santaanautilityrates.com.

WRITE. Written protests may be mailed to The City of Santa Ana, Attention: City Clerk, P.O. Box 1988, M30, Santa Ana, CA 92701, or delivered in person to City Hall located at 20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana. Written protests shall include the name, property address and signature of the person submitting the protest. Only one written protest per parcel will be counted. Oral protests and protests submitted by email or other electronic means do not count as formal written protests.

SUBMIT A LEGAL OBJECTION. Owners of properties affected by the proposed rate changes, as well as tenants who will be directly responsible for paying the charges, may file a legal objection against the proposed adjustments.

Written legal objections must include the following information to be valid:
• Your name, parcel number and/or service address and signature • Indicate that the submission is a legal objection
• Specify the rate or charge for which the objection is being submitted • Specify the grounds for alleging the City of Santa Ana’s noncompliance with Proposition 218 or other legal requirements. Please note that the specified grounds must be sufficiently detailed to allow the City of Santa Ana to determine whether alterations to the proposed rates are needed. By way of example, an objection stating a proposed rate change violates Proposition 218, without explaining the basis for this claim, is insufficient for the purpose of exhaustion of administrative remedies.

Written objections may be mailed to The City of Santa Ana, Attention: City Clerk, P.O. Box 1988, M-30, Santa Ana, CA 92701, or delivered in person to City Hall at 20 Civic Center Plaza. Objections submitted by email or other electronic means will not be accepted as formal written objections. The written basis supporting the proposed rates can be found at the following website: santaanautilityrates.com. Additionally, any property owner may request a mailed copy of the written basis by contacting the City Clerk’s office at (714) 647-6520.

In order to be valid, a written objection must be received by the City Clerk before 5 p.m., March 10, 2026. Failure to submit an objection on time will bar any right to challenge the water and/or sewer charges through a legal proceeding.

Additionally, there is a 120-day statute of limitations for challenging all water, sewer, and recycled water charges should the proposed rate changes be adopted, which commences the day the proposed rates are adopted.

ATTEND THE PUBLIC HEARING. Written protests may also be submitted at the Public Hearing on Tuesday, March 17, 2026 at 5:30 p.m., or thereafter in the City Council Chambers at 20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701. All members of the public will have an opportunity to speak and give testimony regarding the proposed water, sewer, and recycled water rate changes at the Public Hearing; however, only written protests will count toward a majority protest. Written protests must be received before the conclusion of the Public Hearing.

PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS: At the time of the Public Hearing, the City Council will hear and consider all protests and objections to the proposed adjustments. Protests submitted by email or other electronic means do not count as formal written protests; oral comments do not qualify as a formal protest unless accompanied by a written protest. Upon conclusion of the hearing, the City Council will evaluate the protests and objections and consider the adoption of the proposed rates and charges. The City Council is authorized to adopt proposed rates and charges if written protests against the proposed rates and charges, as outlined above, do not represent at least a majority of identified parcels subject to the proposed rates and charges. If adopted as proposed, the adjusted rates and charges will become effective on May 1, 2026.

Fiscal Year 2024-25 General Fund Results

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Receive and file this informational report.

GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No

DISCUSSION
The City’s independent auditors have completed their fieldwork for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, and the City issued its audited financial statements on December 12, 2025. The January 20, 2026 agenda also includes a separate informational report detailing the audited financial statements and related findings.

This report provides final information on General Fund performance for FY 2024–25. The spendable General Fund balance in excess of the 18% Reserve requirement is $11.7 million, which is available for one-time spending. Staff recommends considering the $11.7 million General Fund balance during the FY 2026–27 annual budget process, beginning with “Early Direction” from the City Council scheduled for March 17, 2026. This approach allows competing needs to be considered together during budget development.

Potential uses of the one-time funding may include, but are not limited to:
• An additional contribution to the Section 115 Trust to address future employee pension cost increases
• A contribution to the General Liability Fund balance to support future payment of claims
• One-time construction projects to address immediate safety needs FY24-25 General Fund Results
General Fund revenues exceeded budgeted estimates by $2.3 million at year-end, after adjusting for fair market value changes and other year-end accounting entries, representing an increase of approximately 0.6 percent over revised estimates.
