BMP 11 Overview of Proposed Revisions
BMP 11 Objectives • Increase Water Use Efficiency • Put Emphasis on Volume-Charges • Promote rates that are: • Based on Cost of Service • Equitable • Stable • Revenue Neutral • Avoid “One-Size-Fits-All” Requirements
Major Changes • Quantifiable Performance Target • Defines a minimum percentage of water sales revenue from volumetric rates • Retail Services Only • Wholesale rates probably move to BMP 10 • Implementation Schedule • Phased Compliance Requirements * Wastewater requirements unchanged
Performance Target • Option 1(Default): • Volume Revenue ≥ 70% of Sales Revenue • Option 2: • Volume Revenue ≥ • 3-Yr Average Target Determined Using CWWA Rate Model
Connection Fees Option 1 Volume Charge Revenue Volume Charge Revenue Option 2 Volume Charge Revenue Grants/ Contributions Meter/Service Charge Revenue Taxes Special Charges Meter/Service Charge Revenue Meter/Service Charge Revenue Water Sales Revenue Water Sales Revenue Other Utility Revenue
Vol. = 100% Vol. = 70% Vol. = 50%
CWWA Rate Model • Alternative Target < 70% • Calculates uniform volume charge and meter service charge • Uses your financial and system data • Estimates system variable and fixed costs • Calculates sales revenues from volume and service charges Alt. Target = Volume Revenue Volume + Service Revenue
Implementation Schedule • Fully Metered • Existing Signatories: July 1, 2007 • New Signatories: 1 year after MOU signed • Partially Metered • BMP 4 Schedule + 1 year
Phased Target Subject To: Single Year Rate Increases ≤ 10%
BMP 11 Rate Designs • Allowed • Uniform • Seasonal • Increasing Block • Budget • Prohibited • Decreasing Block • Flat Rate (no volume charge)
Exemptions & ALAEA • MOU Section 4.5 Applies • Grounds for Exemption • Cost-Effectiveness • Legal constraint • Budget constraint • ALAEA • Same as for other BMPs • Option 2 is not ALAEA, it is implementation
5 Year Evaluation • Compliance • Implementation barriers, issues • Proposition 218 • Water savings • Revisions
