SUBJECT: ORDINANCE NUMBER 682
RATES FOR CITY UTILITIES IN RURAL WATER DISTRICTS
DATE: August 16, 2001
BACKGROUND:
In December 1999, the City Council and the OPWA Trustees approved agreements with Rural Water
District No. 3, Rogers County and with Rural Water District No. 3, Washington County. Those
agreements list the shared responsibilities for utility operations in areas within the city limits of
Owasso that are served by a rural water district. The agreement specifies that the rural water district
will be responsible for billing and collections of the City's utility charges for sanitary sewer, refuse
(polycart) and ambulance subscription services.
At that time, OPWA Resolution No. 2001 -01 and a City Ordinance were approved establishing utility
rates for customers on rural water service who are inside the city limits. Those rates were set at a
lump sum total for all utilities (sewer, refuse and ambulance) including a 10% administrative fee
retained by the water district. Since then, the rates for all of the city services have increased, but the
resolution setting rates for rural water district customers was not updated.
Resolution No. 2001 -09 updates the rates for rural water district customers to the current rates for
each utility plus the 10% administrative fee. New wording in the resolution references the "applicable
rate" as established by the OPWA Trustees. Therefore, any future rate change will automatically
apply to rural water district customers. Separate action to apply rate changes to rural water district
customers will not be necessary. City Council Ordinance No. 682 approves the rates established by
Resolution No. 2001-09.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Council approval of Ordinance No. 682 approving utility rates for rural water
district customers as established by OPWA Resolution No. 2001-09.
