ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: WATER SERVICE RATE ADJUSTMENT
OPWA RESOLUTION NO. 2010-04
DATE: July 16, 2010
BACKGROUND:
The FY 2010 -2011 Adopted Budget includes an estimated increase in revenues gained as a result
of proposed water, wastewater, and stormwater rate increases. These increases were included as
a precautionary measure to help avoid large rate increases associated with failing to increase
rates over longer periods of time and to mitigate any notice of rate increase received from the
City of Tulsa ( Owasso's water supplier). Additionally, revenues gained from water, wastewater,
and stormwater rate increases facilitate the City's compliance with more stringent Federal
requirements and provide funding for the Capital Improvements necessary to ensure Owasso's
water distribution and management system is up -to -date and capable of managing a quickly
growing population.
The estimated net results of these rate increases will be to pay the City of Tulsa approximately
$145,000 in increased water costs, and for Owasso to receive an additional $155,000 in utility -
generated revenue from water, wastewater, and drainage fees.
The current and proposed fee structure for utility services is presented below.

* Note: Water rates for rural customers have been established by OPWA Resolution to be 20%
greater than in -city rates. The proposed rate increase to rural customers would be $36 per first
1000 gallons and $35 per 1000 gallons thereafter.
The impact of the proposed rate increases on an average water customer would be approximately
$2.99 per month, or about $35.88 annually.
The Owasso Public Works Authority establishes utility rates by resolution and those rates are
adopted by an ordinance approved by the City Council.
ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS:
Ordinance No. 968 adopts rates for water and sewer service effective October 1, 2010 as
established by OPWA Resolutions 2010 -04 and 2010 -05. The base rate for water would be
$10.84 with the usage rate per 1000 at $4.27. Customers outside the city limits would pay $13.01
for the base rate and $5.12 for the usage rate, 20% more than customers inside the city. Sewer
rates would be $6.97 for the base and $2.55 per 1000 gallons of usage.
City Council Resolution No. 2010 -09 increases stormwater system service rates for residential
customers effective October 1, 2010. The monthly service charge for the stormwater system
would be $3.00 for each single - family residential property, an increase of fifty cents.
OPWA Resolution No. 2010 -04 increases water rates effective October 1, 2010. The base rate
for water would be $10.84, an increase of thirty cents. The usage rate per 1000 of water would be
$4.27, also an increase of thirty cents. Customers outside the city limits would pay $13.01 for the
base rate and $5.12 for the usage rate, 20% more than customers inside the city.
OPWA Resolution No. 2010 -05 increases sanitary sewer rates effective October 1, 2010. The
base rate for sewer would be $6.97, an increase of fourteen cents. The usage rate per 1000
gallons would be $2.55, an increase of five cents. Customers outside the city limits pay the same
rate for sanitary sewer service.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Trustee approval of OPWA Resolution No. 2010 -04, adopting rates for water
service within and without the corporate limits of the City of Owasso to become effective
October 1, 2010.

* Note: Water rates for rural customers have been established by OPWA Resolution to be 20%
greater than in -city rates. The proposed rate increase to rural customers would be $36 per first
1000 gallons and $35 per 1000 gallons thereafter.
The impact of the proposed rate increases on an average water customer would be approximately
$2.99 per month, or about $35.88 annually.
The Owasso Public Works Authority establishes utility rates by resolution and those rates are
adopted by an ordinance approved by the City Council.
ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS:
Ordinance No. 968 adopts rates for water and sewer service effective October 1, 2010 as
established by OPWA Resolutions 2010 -04 and 2010 -05. The base rate for water would be
$10.84 with the usage rate per 1000 at $4.27. Customers outside the city limits would pay $13.01
for the base rate and $5.12 for the usage rate, 20% more than customers inside the city. Sewer
rates would be $6.97 for the base and $2.55 per 1000 gallons of usage.
City Council Resolution No. 2010 -09 increases stormwater system service rates for residential
customers effective October 1, 2010. The monthly service charge for the stormwater system
would be $3.00 for each single - family residential property, an increase of fifty cents.
OPWA Resolution No. 2010 -04 increases water rates effective October 1, 2010. The base rate
for water would be $10.84, an increase of thirty cents. The usage rate per 1000 of water would be
$4.27, also an increase of thirty cents. Customers outside the city limits would pay $13.01 for the
base rate and $5.12 for the usage rate, 20% more than customers inside the city.
OPWA Resolution No. 2010 -05 increases sanitary sewer rates effective October 1, 2010. The
base rate for sewer would be $6.97, an increase of fourteen cents. The usage rate per 1000
gallons would be $2.55, an increase of five cents. Customers outside the city limits pay the same
rate for sanitary sewer service.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Trustee approval of OPWA Resolution No. 2010 -05, adopting rates for
sanitary sewer service to become effective October 1, 2010.

MEMORANDUM
TO: THE HONORABLE CHAIR AND TRUSTEES
OWASSO PUBLIC WORKS AUTHORITY
FROM: STEVEN F. ALBERT, P.E., CFM
CITY ENGINEER
SUBJECT: ODEQ CONSENT ORDER NO. 10 -036
SUBMISSION OF ENGINEERING REPORT
DATE: July 16, 2010
BACKGROUND:
The Owasso Public Works Authority (OPWA) received notification on November 30, 2009 of a
notice of violation issued by the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) as a
result of wastewater bypasses that occurred between February 21, 2007 and January 16, 2010. A
Consent Order dated January 27, 2010 was issued to the City after staff attended a hearing with
ODEQ to discuss the issue and establish a mutually acceptable program for resolving the matter.
One of the requirements of the Order stated that the City must "Submit an approvable
Engineering Report to ODEQ that describes options for collection system improvements that will
eliminate the chronic SSO's [bypasses] at 10605 E 114'h Street and improvements to the Santa
Fe Lift Pump Station. The report shall be accompanied by a letter signed by the Respondent's
Chairman endorsing the report and authorizing its submission to ODEQ as a requirement of this
Consent Order."
Since the issuance of the Consent Order, a consultant (Greeley and Hansen) has been contracted
to undertake the design of the new Santa Fe Pump Station and Force Main. A second consultant
(Kellogg Engineering) has also been contracted to design a new gravity sewer to add sewer
capacity to the Hale Acres area and remove the existing Meadowcrest Lift Station. Both
consultants are making excellent progress and are on schedule with their designs.
ENGINEERING REPORT(S):
Three separate reports were prepared to fully comply with the requirements of the Consent
Order. They are briefly described as follows:
1. Santa Fe Lift Station and Force Main Replacement — Engineering Report prepared by
Greeley and Hansen Engineers presenting the need for the lift station upgrade, the
alternatives considered, and details of the proposed project including wet well, pump and
force main sizing. A cost estimate is included for each alternative including initial capital
costs and life cycle operating costs for comparison of the alternatives.
2. Proposed Meadowcrest Gravity Sewer Line Project — Engineering Report prepared by
Kellogg Engineering demonstrating the feasibility of installing a gravity sewer to allow the
removal of the Meadowcrest Lift Station and to provide service to a new sanitary service
area. The report includes definition of the service area, plan and profile drawings,
establishment of the sewer line size requirements, a cost estimate, a draft of the ODEQ
Application for Permit to Construct and a draft of the ODEQ Engineering Report Form.
3. Hale Acres Area Sanitary Sewer System Study — Engineering Report prepared by Steven F.
Albert, P.E., City Engineer, presenting an analysis of existing sanitary sewer capacity and
flows within the Hale Acres sewer service area related to the chronic bypass location at
10605 East 114th Street North. The report presents recommendations on changes needed to
the system to resolve the bypass problem.
One of the recommendations of the third report is that the southern portion of the Hale Acres
sanitary sewer basin be diverted to a new gravity sewer main. This recommendation resulted in
the project to construct the Meadowcrest Gravity Sewer Line which is the subject of the second
report listed above.
Together, the three reports will be combined into a single submittal to ODEQ and will serve
collectively as the "Engineering Report" required under the Consent Order issued January 27,
2010. A copy of the report can be provided upon request.
REQUESTED ACTION:
This request is for Trustee authorization for the OPWA Chairman to sign the letter of
endorsement with direction to submit the Engineering Report(s) to the Director of ODEQ.
Additional action items specific to each improvement project will be forthcoming in the next one
to three years.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Trustee authorization for the OPWA Chairman to endorse the "Engineering
Report" and authorization to execute the document.
