MEMORANDUM JUL 2 0 2010
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCIL
CITY OF OWASSO
FROM: SHERRY BISHOP
ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: WATER AND WASTEWATER RATE ADJUSTMENT
ORDINANCE NO. 968
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 City Council approval of Ordinance No. 968, adopting and approving water
rates to become effective October 1, 2010, contingent upon OPWA Trustee adoption of
Resolution No. 2010-04; and adopting and approving sanitary sewer service rates to become
effective October 1, 2010, contingent upon OPWA Trustee adoption of Resolution No. 2010-05.
