Consumption Levels ◦ Decline in consumption levels since 2005. ◦ Conservation efforts is one factor. ◦ Weather also has an impact. ◦ 2016 consumption target is 2.665 million cubic metres (down 3.1%). ◦ Consistent with 2015 levels, but assumes additional consumption from replacement of over 1,200 aging meters. ◦ 50% of the combined rate increase due to consumption drop.

  23. 2016 Capital Financing - Wastewater • Total 10-year Draft Capital Budget & Forecast is projecting $106.9 million in gross expenditures (2015 - $ 105.7 ) • The projects for the Mountview and Golden Pheasant plants in Huntsville represent $65 million of total • Infrastructure Funding Deficit is $43 million. This represents the grant funding necessary to proceed with Huntsville project • Internal reserve funds are financing $29.2 million (2015 - $26.3) from Wastewater capital Reference: CES-13-2015-1 - Water & Wastewater and Environmental reserves Treasurer’s Report, page 21 • Borrowing from Debt Reduction is $19.3 million to finance Huntsville project • Sustainable infrastructure is $7.6 million • Development Charges Revenue reduced to $5.3 million ($5.6 million in 2015) 24

  30.  Review of condition and estimated remaining life of assets  Review levels of service  Review replacement cost valuations  Integrate with capital forecast in the budget cycle  AMP indicates revenue sources need to increase: Water: 2.10% - 8.78% per year Wastewater: 2.47% - 9.85% per year 31

  31.  The 2016 Draft Water and Wastewater Budget has been prepared excluding: ◦ Amortization: Estimated at $5.6 million and $8.2 million for Water and Wastewater, respectively; and ◦ Post-employment benefits: nominal  Net deficit with Full Accrual Budgeting: ◦ Water is $1.1 million; and ◦ Wastewater is $0.6 million  Conclusion: contributions to reserves are not sufficient to replace assets at historical values 32
