Sd APR 0 7 2026
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
The Honorable Chair and Trustees - Owasso Public Works Authority (OPWA)
FROM: Carly Novozinsky, Finance Director
SUBJECT: Resolution 2026-05, establishing Utility Rates - Water, Sewer and Refuse Rates and
Fees; Resolution 2026-06, establishing Stormwater System Service Charges
DATE: April 2, 2026
BACKGROUND:
As presented to City Council during the March Worksession, staff proposes an increase in water,
sewer, refuse, and stormwater rates to allow the Owasso Public Works Authority and Stormwater
Management Fund to complete needed infrastructure improvements.
PROPOSED UTILITY RATE INCREASES:
The proposed increases were computed based on assumptions regarding both annual increases
in labor and materials costs and annual increases in water purchased from the City of Tulsa. Since
actual cost increases will differ from projections, the City will continue to review and report to City
Council each year, prior to the presentation of the annual budget, on progress toward
maintaining a budgetary fund balance sufficient to cover emergency situations. Staff will also
annually outline Owasso Public Works Authority (OPWA) capital project needs and present
estimated cost of projected construction.
If approved, City staff will provide at least 30 days' notice to customers of the rate increases.
Resolution 2026-05 has been prepared outlining water, sewer, refuse, and metered fire hydrant
rates effective October 1, 2026. In addition, Resolution 2026-06 has been prepared outlining rates
for stormwater system service effective October 1, 2026.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends City Council approval and OPWA Trustee affirmation of Resolution 2026-05,
establishing water, sanitary sewer service, refuse, and metered fire hydrant rates and fees within
and without the corporate limits of the City of Owasso, effective October 1, 2026.
Staff recommends City Council approval of Resolution 2026-06, establishing rates for stormwater
system service charges within the corporate limits of the City of Owasso, effective October 1, 2026.
