ORDINANCE NUMBER 715
CITY OF OWASSO,
OKLAHOMA
Published in the Owasso
Reporter OwassQ, Tulsa
County, Oklahoma, August
29, 2002.
TO: HONORABLE CHAIR AND TRUSTEES
OWASSO PUBLIC WORKS AUTHORITY
FROM: SHERRY BISHOP
FINANCE DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: WATER RATE INCREASE
DATE: August 16, 2002
BACKGROUND
The Owasso Public Works Authority purchases treated water from the City of Tulsa. Notice was
received from the City of Tulsa that, effective October 1, 2002, water rates will increase from $1.86
to $1.98 per 1000 gallons. In order to maintain an adequate operating budget in the OPWA, that
twelve -cent rate increase should be passed on to the OPWA water customers.
The last water rate increase was two years ago. At that time, Tulsa increased rates by fourteen cents
and the OPWA increased rates by twenty -eight cents providing additional operating funds for the
OPWA.
Staff recommends a rate increase to customers inside the city limits of fifteen cents per 1000 gallons
of water usage. The rate increase would offset the twelve cent increase from Tulsa and provide an
additional three cents to be dedicated to the OPWA Capital Improvements Fund. The OPWA
Capital Improvements Fund is used to construct capital projects for the water and sewer utilities or to
pay debt service on those projects. Unexpended resources in -the OPWA Capital Improvements
Fund are accumulated for future projects.
The proposed new rate would change the base minimum fee for 1000 gallons of water from $7.50 to
$7.65. The volume charge per 1000 gallons of water would change from $3.20 to $3.35.
In 1999, the City Council and OPWA Trustees established water rates to customers residing outside
the Owasso city limits at 20% more than the rate inside the city. Staff will recommend maintaining
that 20% difference. The proposed new rate for rural customers would change the base minimum
fee for 1000 gallons of water from $9.00 to $9.18. The volume charge per 1000 gallons of water
would change from $3.84 to $4.02.
The monthly cost of the proposed rate increase to the average customer who uses 7000 gallons of
water per month is $1.05. The annual increase would be $12.60. The total utility bill from the
OPWA to an average customer for water, wastewater, refuse and ambulance would increase from
$57.33 to $58.38. (Based on an average customer using 7000 gallons of water and 5000 gallons of
sewer per month.)
Rate changes require the approval of the OPWA Trustees and the approval of the City Council.
They are enacted by Trustee Resolution and by City Council Ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Trustee approval of Resolution No.2002 -04 increasing water rates.
