SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2014 -05
Water Rate Increase
DATE: June 27, 2014
BACKGROUND:
iy
The Owasso Public Works Authority purchases treated water from the City of Tulsa. On March 31,
2014, the City of Tulsa notified Owasso of a water rate increase effective October 1, 2014. Rates
for water purchased by the OPWA from the City of Tulsa will increase from $2.96 to $117 per
1,000 gallons. Tulsa water is delivered to Owasso through three master meters. The monthly
meter charge will also increase from $450.05 to $481.56 for a monthly meter fee increase of
$31.51.
In order for the City to recover the increased cost of service, staff proposes a rate increase of
twenty -one cents per thousand gallons of water usage to customers inside the city limits plus the
respective monthly increase based on the size of meter. Staff further proposes that rates for
customers outside the city limits continue to be 20% more than rates for customers within the city
limits in accordance with the previous OPWA resolution establishing the different rate structures
for customers outside the city limits.
The proposed minimum volume charge per 1,000 gallons of water usage would increase from
$4.81 to $5.02 for customers inside the city. The monthly cost of the proposed rate increase to a
city customer who uses 7,000 gallons of water with a 3/," meter would be $1.47 per month or
$17.64 per year, an amount equal to the Tulsa rate increase. The proposed increase for rural
customers using 7,000 gallons per month would be $1.75 or $21.00 per year.
Rate changes require the approval of the Owasso Public Works Authority and the Owasso City
Council through Trustee Resolution and City Council Ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends OPWA Trustee approval of Resolution No. 2014 -05 establishing the water rates
to be effective October 1, 2014.
