2018 Proposed Water & Wastewater Budget

2018 Proposed Water & Wastewater Budget  Rate Structure Review  Options for consideration  Proposed 2018 Rates  Next Steps

2018 Proposed Water & Wastewater Budget Option 1 – Status Quo Water Usage Charge/m 3 (variable) Delivery Charge/qtr (fixed) * ≤ 105 m 3 Res > 105 m 3 Res or non-res ≤ 400 m 3 Non-res > 400 m 3 $2.28 $3.74 $60 $183 Historic Practice  Residential accounts – lower delivery charge , two tier usage charge  Commercial accounts (high volume) – higher delivery charge, single tier usage charge * For each of Water and Wastewater

2018 Proposed Water & Wastewater Budget Option 2 Water Usage Charge/m 3 (variable) Delivery Charge/qtr (fixed) * ≤ 105 m 3 > 105 m 3 Res or non-res ≤ 400 m 3 Non-res > 400 m 3 $2.28 $2.26 $3.74 $3.10 $60 $183 $60 Implications:  Revenue neutral  Alignment of consumption and related costs for all users  All users will see a 2 cent decrease in the consumption charge < 105 m 3 Residential users >105 m 3 will see a modest decrease   High volume Non Residential users ( ± 40 accounts) will see an increase  Gas stations, big box & restaurant chains, large scale manufacturing are the majority of the offsetting increase ( ± 12 accounts) * For each of Water and Wastewater

2018 Proposed Water & Wastewater Budget Option 3 – Previously Recommended Water Usage Charge/m 3 (variable) Delivery Charge/qtr (fixed) * ≤ 105 m 3 > 105 m 3 ≤ 400 m 3 > 400 m 3 $2.28 $3.74 $3.00 $60 $183 $60 Implications:  Revenue neutral  Alignment of consumption and related costs for all users Residential users over 105 m 3 will see a modest decrease   High volume Non Residential users ( ± 40 accounts) will see an increase  Gas stations, big box & restaurant chains, large scale manufacturing are the majority of the offsetting increase ( ± 12 accounts) * For each of Water and Wastewater

2018 Proposed Water & Wastewater Budget Option 4 Water Usage Charge/m 3 (variable) Delivery Charge/qtr (fixed) * ≤ 105 m 3 Res > 105 m 3 Non - Res> 105 m 3 (new) ≤ 400 m 3 > 400 m 3 $2.28 $3.74 $3.00 $60 $183 $60 Implications:  Alignment of fixed charges  No increase in Residential water usage rate  High volume Non Residential users ( ± 40 accounts) will see an increase  Gas stations, big box & restaurant chains, large scale manufacturing are the majority of the offsetting increase ( ± 12 accounts)  Increased revenue estimated at $50k * For each of Water and Wastewater

2018 Proposed Water and Wastewater Budget Number of Accounts vs Volume Number of Accounts Volume Non-Residential Residential Non-Residential Residential

2018 Proposed Water and Wastewater Budget Accounts with Volume Over 105 m 3 Non-Residential Residential

2018 Proposed Water and Wastewater Budget 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Region Town Water Wastewater

2018 Proposed Water and Wastewater Budget Current Proposed Water  Delivery (fixed) $60 / quarter $65 / quarter  Usage (variable) $2.28 m 3 $2.28 m 3 Wastewater  Delivery (fixed) $60 / quarter $65 / quarter  Usage (variable) $2.09 m 3 $2.19 m 3 Annual impact to the average household is $64 as compared to $75 in 2017

2018 Proposed Water and Wastewater Budget  Council deliberation and adoption: Option 4 Water Wastewater Delivery Usage Delivery Usage Charge/m 3 (variable) Charge/m 3 Charge/qtr Charge/qtr (fixed) (variable) (fixed) ≤ 105 m 3 Res > 105 m 3 Non Res > 105 m 3 $2.28 $3.74 $3.00 $65 $2.19 $65
