On March 31, 2015, the City of Tulsa notified Owasso of a water rate increase effective October 1, 2015. Rates for water purchased by the OPWA from the City of Tulsa will increase by 7% from $3.17 to $3.39 per 1,000 gallons. Tulsa water is delivered to Owasso through three master meters. The monthly meter charge will also increase by 7% from $481.56 to $515.27 for a monthly meter fee increase of $33.71. In order for the City to recover increased costs of both water and labor, staff proposes a rate increase of forty -four cents per thousand gallons of water usage to customers inside the city limits plus the respective monthly increase based on the size of meter effective October 1, 2015. 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 $5.02 to $5.46 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 3/4" meter would be $3.08 per month or $37 per year, or 8.8 %. The proposed increase for rural customers using 7,000 gallons per month would be $3.70 or $44 per year. The Owasso Public Works Authority also provides sewer treatment for the City of Owasso. While the cost of providing service has increased annually, the rates charged to customers have not increased since 2012. As a result, the City of Owasso averaged a $338,000 (10 %) net operating loss over the past three years on an accrual basis. In order for the City to recover increased costs, staff proposes a fifty -cent monthly sewer base increase plus an additional thirty cents per thousand gallons effective October 1, 2015. The proposed average increase to residential sewer customers would be $2 per month or $24 per year. The rate increase is estimated to generate an additional $250,000 annually. Rate changes require the approval of the Owasso City Council and the Owasso Public Works Authority by City Ordinance and Trustee Resolution. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends City Council approval of Ordinance 1058 establishing the water, sewer, and metered fire hydrant rates to be effective October 1, 2015. Staff recommends Trustee approval of Resolution No. 2015 -03 establishing the water and sewer rates and the rates and fees for metered fire hydrant usage.
