2024-25-12 - MUNICIPAL COMPREHENSIVE UTILITY RATE STUDY

The City desires a comprehensive rate study, which will require a qualified consultant or consulting firm. The purpose of the study is to provide the City with information sufficient to support a recommendation to the City Commission for adjustments in rates for water, sewer and solid waste operations. This study will also determine the adequacy and most appropriate rate structure for all utility rates assessed by the City considering such issues as conservation, consumption, characteristics of various customer classes, deviation from cost-of-service principles and fairness and equity implications, and customer understanding. The City expects the rates developed by the study to be adequate for at least two years and the rate schedule (i.e. comparative rates by customer class) to maintain its integrity for at least five years.
