Part 8: PF—Public Facilities and N— Institutional Districts 14-16.800 Purpose.

The purpose of the Public Facilities (PF) and Institutional (N) Districts is to clearly separate the developmentstandards and Land Use regulationsfor Public Facilities owned and operated by City or County Government agencies with uses that are available to the general public and other institutional facilities that provide uses that are available to the public but are either privately owned or operated by State and Federal agencies. The Development Standards are intended to identify minimum design criteria for each use within the land use categories. The Land Use regulations are intended to outline allowable uses within both the Public Facilities and Institutional zones. While certain uses owned by State or Federal agencies may not be totally under the juris- diction of City regulatory controls, the City may still make the determination as to where such facilities should be located and administer a site plan review procedure.

1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: Tuesday, May 26, 2026
TO: CITY COUNCIL
WRITTEN BY: PUBLIC WORKS & UTILITIES DIRECTOR GREEN
RECOMMENDED BY: PUBLIC WORKS & UTILITIES DIRECTOR GREEN APPROVED BY: TAMARA VIDES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER PROPOSED UPDATES TO WATER, WASTEWATER, AND SOLID WASTE UTILITY RATES EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2026, WITH ANNUAL UPDATES EACH JULY 1 THROUGH 2030; AND

ADOPT A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THOSE UTILITY RATE AND FEE

SCHEDULE
RECOMMENDATION:

1. Conduct a public hearing on proposed utility rates for water, wastewater, and solid waste.

2. Adopt a resolution adopting the proposed utility rates.

BACKGROUND:

The City manages and operates three utility enterprises to provide water, wastewater, and solid waste services to City customers, and the City charges customers utility rates for services provided through these enterprises. The City’s current utility rates were based on a rate study that was completed in 2021. The City, in collaboration with Raftelis Financial Consultants, Inc. has analyzed the adequacy of revenues under the current rate structure to meet projected expenditures of the enterprise funds, to determine whether revenues will be adequate to cover operating and maintenance costs as well as needed capital costs while supporting debt service obligations and achieving target reserve levels.

Revenue requirements, as proposed by staff, were developed for the five-year period from FY 2026/27 through FY 2030/31. The proposed update to utility rates described in this report will be effective on July 1 of each fiscal year, beginning July 1, 2026, with annual adjustments through July 1, 2030.

DISCUSSION:

The City’s water, wastewater and solid waste enterprise fund rates are intended to recover revenues sufficient to adequately fund utility operations, maintenance, and capital replacement expenditures,

2 and meet debt service obligations, while keeping rates as competitive as possible and maintaining a prudent level of reserves.

The City of Watsonville engaged Raftelis to conduct a comprehensive utilities rate study covering its water, wastewater, and solid waste enterprise funds. The study encompasses three core areas of focus:
a financial plan to determine the revenue required to recover costs, a cost-of-service analysis to ensure an objective and proportional allocation of costs across customer classes, and rate design to achieve cost-justified recovery by user class. As utility enterprise funds, these services are not supported by the general fund or taxes—customer rates serve as the primary revenue source—and the study is structured to comply with the substantive requirements of Proposition 218, which mandate among other things that charges reflect the proportional cost of service attributable to each parcel.

The goals of the rate study are to develop self-sustaining enterprise funds, that allow for generational reinvestment in utility infrastructure, through fair and cost-based rates.

Financial Plan
The purpose of the Financial Plan is to ascertain the revenue needs of each utility based on estimated costs. Understanding the financial resources required over the next 10 years is critical to managing and planning for the future, as well as to avoid drastic rate fluctuations year to year. To determine the revenue required to provide service over the next 10 years for each of the three utilities, operations and maintenance budgets as well as a capital improvement plan were prepared using current information and informed estimates to forecast changes in costs over time. The financial plan also considers financial goals and policies for operating and capital reserve targets; as well as debt coverage and debt capacity for external borrowing required for capital projects.

The study's results cover the five fiscal years from FY 2027 (beginning July 1, 2026) through FY 2031 (July 1, 2030).

Water
The City's water system faces several significant cost pressures that necessitate rate adjustments. The most critical driver is compliance with California's forthcoming Chromium-6 Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL), which will require substantial capital investment in treatment infrastructure to meet new drinking water standards. Beyond this regulatory mandate, the water system is experiencing the cumulative effects of inflation on operations and maintenance costs and the ongoing need to rehabilitate and replace aging infrastructure. These pressures, combined with the need to maintain adequate reserve fund balances, form the basis for the proposed annual adjustments over the five-year study period. The recommended annual rate revenue adjustments for water are as follows:

Fiscal Year Effective Date Revenue Adjustment
FY 26/27 July 1, 2026 5%
FY 27/28 July 1, 2027 5%
FY 28/29 July 1, 2028 5%
FY 29/30 July 1, 2029 5%
FY 30/31 July 1, 2030 5%
Wastewater
The wastewater utility requires two major generational projects at the Wastewater Treatment Plant: the rehabilitation of the Headworks Facility and the replacement of the Cogeneration System at the

3 Wastewater Treatment Facility. The funding strategy emphasizes fiscal responsibility by leveraging external financing—approximately $37 million in State Revolving Fund (SRF) loans for the headworks project and roughly $20 million in financing for the cogeneration project—to spread costs over time, promote intergenerational equity across ratepayers, and to minimize rate increases to the greatest extent practicable. These are aging, critical assets whose failure would significantly impair the City's ability to treat wastewater in compliance with its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. In addition, the system must address broader inflationary cost increases across labor, chemicals, and energy, as well as ongoing regulatory compliance requirements. To avoid rate shock while funding these investments responsibly, the City proposes utilizing external financing, spreading costs across current and future ratepayers who will benefit from the improved infrastructure. The proposed adjustments reflect a front-loaded schedule to align revenue with the project financing timeline. The recommended annual rate revenue adjustments for wastewater are as follows:

Fiscal Year Effective Date Revenue Adjustment
FY 26/27 July 1, 2026 16%
FY 27/28 July 1, 2027 12%
FY 28/29 July 1, 2028 6%
FY 29/30 July 1, 2029 6%
FY 30/31 July 1, 2030 6%
Solid Waste
The solid waste system's cost drivers are centered on two primary factors: compliance with Senate Bill (SB) 1383, California's Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Act, and the effects of inflation on service delivery costs. SB 1383 mandates a 75% reduction in the landfill disposal of organic waste from 2014 levels, requiring the City to invest in organic waste diversion programs, infrastructure, and outreach. At the same time, rising costs for fuel, labor, equipment maintenance, and disposal fees continue to place upward pressure on the solid waste enterprise fund. The proposed 2% annual adjustment over the fiveyear study period is designed to keep pace with these cost increases while maintaining the financial sustainability of the fund. The recommended annual rate revenue adjustments for solid waste are as follows:

Fiscal Year Effective Date Revenue Adjustment
FY 26/27 July 1, 2026 2%
FY 27/28 July 1, 2027 2%
FY 28/29 July 1, 2028 2%
FY 29/30 July 1, 2029 2%
FY 30/31 July 1, 2030 2%
Cost of Service & Rate Design
The purpose of Cost of Service analyses is to allocate costs among different customer classes, such as residential, non-residential, and others, based on their proportional use of each utility (the water, wastewater, and solid waste systems). Through a technical approach, total costs for each utility are apportioned based on characteristics like water demand for water rates, wastewater generation based on flow and strength for wastewater rates, and collection frequency, container size, and service type for solid waste rates, as well as customer costs among others. This ensures fair and cost-justified rates for

4 all City users across the different customer classes and utility services. The study also includes a wastewater cost-of-service analysis, the first since 2015, to ensure that all wastewater customers are equitably charged for their use of the utility. No structural changes to the existing rate structures are proposed.

Proposed Rates
The proposed increases of 2% for solid waste, 5% for water, and 6% to 16% for wastewater service represent the increases necessary to sustain each enterprise. The actual percentage increase experienced by individual customers varies based on the results of the cost of service which considers customer class, water use, wastewater generation, and other user characteristics. The proposed customer rate schedules are found in Exhibit “A” to the recommended resolution. Detailed customer impacts will be discussed in the staff PowerPoint presentation. Typical bill impacts for Single Family Residential (SFR) customers are presented below. The figure showing a low impact SFR represents a household with lower water demands (6 billing units per month) and a smaller trash cart for solid waste service. The figure showing a typical SFR represents 8 billing units of water per month and a larger trash cart. First year bill impacts are estimated at approximately $13 per month and $14 per month respectively. Also presented is a comparison of the cost of providing the three services against neighboring agencies at both current and proposed rates.

5 Communications and Outreach
As part of the comprehensive utility rate study, City staff with the support of Raftelis’ strategic communications staff provided a robust outreach campaign to raise awareness of the proposed rate increases and the rate development and adoption process including the written objection and formal protest process. Outreach also focused on the promotion of water and wastewater infrastructure investments to highlight the critical infrastructure the rate increases will help fund, and to encourage public participation and two-way communications.

Each of the communication and outreach events City staff provided prior to the hearing are listed below:
• Rate Engagement Page: A digital platform on the City’s website was developed to include answers to frequently asked questions, information on public outreach events, an interactive bill calculator for customers to estimate the impacts of proposed rate adjustments on their monthly bill, and of course the

6 complete rate study document and the notice of public hearing with instructions for how to submit a written objection or formal written protest.
• Informational Webinar: A virtual webinar was hosted on April 29th to communicate the rate study process, discuss critical utility infrastructure investments, and inform ratepayers on what to expect in the coming months and years, and answer any questions from the public. Live Spanish interpretation was provided, and a recording of the webinar was posted to the rate study website so those who could not attend live could watch.
• Outreach Events: City staff attended the farmer’s market on April 17th and the Cinco de Mayo event on May 3rd with informational booths and interactive displays to educate the public on what services each of the utilities provides and discuss the proposed rate increases. • Wastewater Treatment Plant Tours: Two public tours were provided of the wastewater treatment plant so interested residents could see up close and personally what is involved in cleaning the City’s sewage and the large reinvestment needed to keep this critical asset functioning properly. Shuttles from downtown and Spanish interpretation was provided. The tours were well received by attendees who all had great questions!
Proposition 218 Notice & Public Hearing
