WWW.C1.ANDOVER.MN.US TO: Mayor and Councilmembers CC: Jim Dickinson, City Administrat FROM: SUBJECT: Information on Water Rate Increase DATE: March 16, 2006 INTRODUCTION Legislation was passed in 2005 allowing the Minnesota DNR to collect an additional $20.00 per million gallons of water pumped during the sununer months of June, July and August over and above what is typically pumped in the month of January. This amounted to an increase of $6,650.60 to the City of Andover's water appropriation permit for 2005. The City of Andover would nonnally pay $7.50 per million gallons of water pumped. DISCUSSION The sununer water use surcharge was set to try and reduce the difference between sununer and winter water use. It is also meant to generate revenue for the DNR to improve water conservation programs and to investigate other water issues facing communities within the State of Minnesota. This past year, the amount of water pumped in the sununer months was approximately five times greater than the month of January. To cover the cost increase an adjustment to the water rates is recommended. Rates would remain the same up to specified gallons used at which point the increase would take affect (refer to attached rate sheet). It is unknown if the rate increase would decrease the water pumped but would, if approved, cover the additional costs for the appropriations permit to the DNR. The highest water users would be paying for the majority of the fee. BUDGET IMPACT (if applicable) By adding $.05 per 1000 gallons to the last 3 tiers of the rate structure, an additional $9000.00 of revenue is forecasted and will cover the cost of the increased fee. The increase would start at the 20,001-gallon range for customers on a monthly billing cycle and at the 60,001-gallon range for quarterly bills. ACTION REOUIRED Provide staff direction as to whether this is acceptable to the council. If it is, staff would submit an amended fee ordinance to the council at a future council meeting.
