MEMORANDUM
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
CITY OF OWASSO
FROM: DAVID HAVERKAMP
SPECIAL PROJECTS
SUBJECT: WATER RATE ADJUSTMENT
DATE: August 14, 2009
BACKGROUND:
The Owasso Public Works Authority (OPWA) received Notice from the City of Tulsa that,
effective October 1, 2009 water rates will increase from $2.18 to $2.26 per 1000 gallons. This
$.08 increase was unexpected and was not included in the FY 2009 -2010 operating budget. In
order to offset the rate increase from Tulsa, a water rate adjustment of $.08 is being proposed.
The current and proposed fee structure for water services is presented below.
SERVICE REGULAR RATE RURAL RATE*
Current Proposed Current Proposed
VATER
Minimum 1,000 gallons $10.46 $10.54 $12.55 $12.65
Each additional 1,000 gallons $3.89 $3.97 $4.67 $4.77
* 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 $.10 per first
1000 gallons and $.10 per 1000 gallons thereafter.
The impact on an average resident consuming a total of 7,000 gallons of water would be $.56 per
month. The same rates apply to all customers in the city limits. An information sheet containing
both the existing and proposed water rate structure and how it would affect single family
residential customers is attached for your review.
As noted by the City of Tulsa, during the past few years, the cost of supplying potable water has
increased significantly. This rapid increase can be attributed to a number of factors, including
energy and chemical costs, and aging plant infrastructure. Chemical costs alone have increased
30 percent over the past year. The increased costs of meeting water quality requirements are
resulting in increased water rates and charges.
The OPWA establishes utility rates by resolution and those rates are adopted by an ordinance
approved by the City Council.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends City Council approval of Ordinance No. 946, contingent upon the Owasso
Public Works Authority approval of Resolution No. 2009 -06 establishing water rates in order to
offset a rate increase from the City of Tulsa.
