The Honorable Eugene Welch, Mayor
Town of Cedaredge
235 W. Main Street
Cedaredge, CO 81413
Subject: Water and Sewer User Charge Analysis Report
Dear Mayor Welch:
Attached is your water and sewer rate analysis report package. Before I address the
report, I have some important housekeeping to do.
Rate analysis is data intensive, using large volumes of information and many kinds
of data. Data for your analyses were especially difficult because I am recommending
you adjust rate structures significantly, to make them fairer. That means some of the
data I needed either does not exist or it was difficult for staff to pull from your billing
program.
City Manager Kathleen Sickles and Intern Greg Brinck were my primary contacts.
Ms. Sickles provided the higher-level oversight and lots of background and feedback
about the town’s situation. You have a unique situation that I would not have been able
to fully figure out without her knowledge and gracious help.
Mr. Brinck did the yeoman’s work of gathering reams of data, getting it into
spreadsheet format and making sure we interpreted it correctly. He is quite the capable
intern, I must say.
I’m sure a few other folks behind the scenes helped, too. To all, I want to say, “thank
you.” And to you I want to say that the town is well-served by folks like these.

On to the report, this one is complex, especially for utilities as small as yours. The
length of the report is deceiving. There are two “models” in the report. They account for
two-thirds of the report’s length. They are both built on the same basic spreadsheet
template. Only the data and conclusions are different. Thus, once you get to know one,
you can fly through the other and just look for the results.
Much of this is complex and situation-specific so I know most folks will learn and
understand my recommendations best by hearing them from me, in person. That is why
we have scheduled a meeting for May 24. I look forward to meeting you, the board and
staff then. We will talk over whatever you desire and I will be glad to field questions
from the public. That should go a long way toward everyone understanding why I have
recommended what I did and they will be able to see what the real effects will be.
Finally, I am sure you and the board members know of other towns, cities and
districts that also need rate setting help. As you run into these folks at league of cities
meetings, rural water association meetings and other venues, I hope you will tell them
about my services. I get much of my business by referrals from past clients and I hope
to be able to trace several future clients back to my work with Cedaredge.
Best regards,

Water and Sewer Rate Analysis Report
Town of Cedaredge, Colorado
Prepared May 15, 2017
Carl Brown, President
GettingGreatRates.com, LLC
Executive Summary
GettingGreatRates.com was engaged to analyze the water and sewer rates and fees of the Town of Cedaredge, Colorado. We found that the current water and sewer rates are very complex and not as fairly-structured as they can be. We recommend simplifying them and making them fairer. Overall, the current water rates need to go up 26.5 percent to adequately to cover expected costs and maintain appropriate reserves. The current sewer rates need to go up by 7.2 percent. These water and sewer rate adjustment needs, as well as many other things, are shown in analysis Model 1 and Model 2, respectively within this report.

Introduction
The Town of Cedaredge, Colorado, later called “the Town” or “you,” hired
GettingGreatRates.com, later called “me,” “we” or “I” to perform rate analyses of the water and
sewer utilities, produce a report of my findings and recommendations and provide you with
guidance on rate setting.
This report is the culmination of a process where I submitted information and data inquiries
to Town staff. Staff replied. I subsequently modeled portions of the Town’s finances and rates
using that data and submitted those items for review and feedback. Town staff reviewed those
draft submittals to assure accuracy and in some instances, they corrected data. With that
feedback, I prepared and submitted this, the final report package.
This report package fulfills part of my original charge. I will also provide guidance over the
next few months as you move through the stages of doing rate and fee adjustments.
Several conditions impacted or shaped these analyses:
• The current water and sewer rate structures are very complex.
• Water volume usage data obtained from the billing program, according to our
calculations, did not match the total billed volume obtained by City staff.
• During the test year (2016), water meters for residential customers were not read.
(The City has since installed radio-read meters to solve that problem.) Without
winter residential meter readings, it was not possible to set winter average use rates
for residential sewer bills based upon actual use. Therefore, we estimated use.
These conditions can and were dealt with but they presented challenges and they inject
some degree of uncertainty in the water rate results and a degree of arbitrariness for residential
sewer rates. These will be discussed in some detail later.
As to the structure of this report, water is covered first and sewer last. Many things or issues
that apply to one utility also apply to the other utility. To keep the report as brief and clear as
possible, when an issue applies to both utilities, I expound upon it in the water Subsection of
the report. If such an issue applies equally to the sewer utility, I do not even mention it there.
But if an issue applies only to the sewer utility, I expound upon the issue in the sewer
Subsection. Therefore, if you read about an issue in the water Subsection and see nothing about
it in the sewer Subsection, the description in the water Subsection also holds true for the sewer
Subsection.
The report package is composed of two parts.
• The first is this narrative report that tells readers what should be done to each
utility’s rates and why.
• The second part is printouts of the scenario spreadsheet models for each utility. The
latter are integrated calculations that mathematically depict or “model” the utilities’
situations to arrive at the recommended rates for each, given the circumstances
considered in each model.

The models are named:
• “Cedaredge, CO; Water Rates Scenario 2017-1,” later called, “Model 1,” and
• “Cedaredge, CO; Sewer Rates Scenario 2017-2,” later called, “Model 2.”
As you read this report, please keep this in mind. This report does not direct the Town to do
anything. Actions you take or do not take are strictly up to you. The report is meant to inform
and educate so you can then make well-informed decisions about actions to take. And the
report and model are not legal recommendations. For legal issues consult your attorney.
Cost-based Rate Calculations
To give you the “bigger picture” of rate analysis and to make it easier for you to read and
understand the rest of this narrative report and the analysis models, a tutorial on my
methodology is in order.
When I analyze rates for government-owned water and sewer utilities, and the utility has its
costs classified by their function, I use the cost-needs approach. The approach is exhaustively
described in the American Water Works Association’s “M1 Manual, Principles of Water Rates,
Fees and Charges,” Seventh Edition. With only minor modifications to account for wastewater
strength, this approach works equally well for sewer rates, too. This manual, in use since the
1960s and periodically updated, is considered by many to be the “Bible” of water and sewer rate
setting best practices.
The cost-needs approach results in rates that are called, “cost to serve” or “cost of service”
rates. Simply stated, the costs for a target time period, usually in the near future, are classified
as “fixed,” “variable,” “capacity to serve” or some combination of the three. Fixed costs are
converted to a minimum charge. Variable costs are converted to a unit charge. Capacity costs
are converted to some combination of system development fees and surcharges to the minimum
charge.
The first cut of this classification process is done in Table 8 of each model. Cedaredge’s rates
situation is complex so the “Average Fixed Cost/User/Month” from Table 8 of each model is
used for calculating the base minimum charge. The “Average Variable Cost to Produce/1,000
Gallons” is the basis for calculating unit charges. But, with Cedaredge’s more complex situation,
I did not use the capacity cost-related columns for calculating capacity surcharges. I instead
used Tables 11 and 13 to directly address that issue.
Cost to serve rates are considered by many, including me, to be the most mathematically
fair and defensible rate structure. However, there are often good reasons to adopt rates that are
at least somewhat different from true cost to serve rates. Thus, a cost-based rate analysis often is
just the starting point for calculating the rates that a utility may eventually decide to adopt.

I usually recommend meter size-based minimum
charges composed of two parts:
• One is the basic (“fixed”) cost to make any
level of service available to any customer.
Billing, general administration and similar
costs that are the same for all customers,
regardless of “size,” make up this part of
the minimum charge. To make it easier to
understand this concept, I use this catch
phrase: Fixed costs are related to the fact that
someone is a customer.
• The other part of the minimum charge is a
surcharge intended to recover all or part of
excess, peak flow or other unusual capacity
costs. These are almost always based upon
water meter size because the ability of the
different water meter sizes to sustainably
pass peak flows (as determined by
American Water Works Association
studies) relate well to the cost of building
infrastructure “big enough” to handle peak
flows. Capacity costs are related to the fact that
a particular customer has a certain capacity to
demand flow or service, regardless of how much
flow or service they actually use.
With this structure, the smallest meter size customers end up paying the lowest minimum
charge. As meter size goes up, a larger capacity surcharge is added to the basic minimum
charge resulting in ever higher total minimum charges for larger meter size customers.
Remember: It’s not just how much water such customers use that determines how much they
cost the utility. It’s how big and robust they cause the utility to be built, because it has to be
built robust enough to handle their maximum demand should they someday draw it.
Rate Analysis, in a Nutshell
At its simplest, rate analysis helps a utility arrive at rates and fees that are adequate – they will pay all the utility’s costs. The next level of complexity is to arrive at rates that, on an average cost basis, will enable the utility to recover fixed and variable costs “fairly.” Most small water and sewer utilities that are not growing rapidly, have uniform customer meter sizes and their volume use is consistent need analysis only to this level of complexity – doing more results in rates that are overly complex.
Another level of complexity includes calculation of meter size-based minimum surcharges and system development (connection) fees. Another includes calculation of rates on a “marginal” cost basis, for special groups of customers. Yet another level is marginal cost basis calculation of rates for individual customers, such as a wholesale customer. These facets of analysis result in accurate but complex rate structures; appropriate for larger utilities with diverse customers.
Analysis can and should provide a sound basis for advising the utility to “go or don’t go” concerning various actions it might take. Some of these actions are purely financial. Some, like the decision to enter into, or not enter into, a wholesale supply agreement, for example, include “hassle factor” and other non-financial issues.

Unit charges are related to the volume of service received. While unit charges can be structured in
various ways, the revenues they generate should be adequate to pay those costs that are related
to the flow that customers actually use. There are three main unit charge structures that I
recommend in different situations:
• Some systems need “conservation rates,” or, their administrations simply like the
notion of encouraging customers to use less of the utility’s services – conservation
rates. In this rate structure the unit charge goes up as volume used goes up. Most of
us respond to, or at least we think twice about it, when we are assessed a higher
price to buy more of something. Conservation rates are most appropriate in areas
with limited water supplies or in utilities that are bumping up against their capacity
to produce water. Conservation rates are almost never used for pricing sewer
service.
• Most systems use, and should use, level unit charges – a unit charge that is the same
regardless of how much volume a customer uses. With level unit charges, everyone
is assessed unit charges at the average unit cost. Such rates are the easiest to
calculate, they are the easiest for a clerk to explain to a complaining customer on the
phone and the revenues such rates will produce next year are the easiest to
accurately predict. I like to tell most of my clients that if they are going to err either
on the side of complex rates that precisely assess costs to each customer or simpler
rates that round off some of the accuracy corners but are easier to administer, choose
simple rates. Most water and almost all sewer service is assessed using level unit
charges.
• The last major unit charge structure is
called, “declining” rates. These are the
reverse of conservation rates. I often call
them, “use encouragement” rates. It is
popular these days for many to belittle those
who do not conserve resources at every
opportunity. Declining rates are often
scorned for that reason. However, if you have an ample water supply and ample
infrastructure to produce and distribute it, if doing so will not cause unintended bad
(mostly environmental) consequences; and if you want to encourage high use (which
often entails such users hiring more or better-paid workers), declining rates make
good sense. Declining rates are most appropriate in areas that have a high
concentration of high water using industry or in an area where folks want to attract
such users.
The Town has, but in my opinion does not need, conservation rates. While such
rates collect more from those who use more, which anecdotally is related to peak flow capacity, there is a more accurate structure to achieve that goal. Therefore, I recommend you assess level unit charges.

To complicate the aforesaid just a bit, rate setting is, indeed, about recovering costs. Job one
of utility rates is to pay the utility’s costs. But usually proper rate setting is also about building
adequate reserves; preparing for expensive capital improvements; catching up on needed
equipment repair, refurbishment and replacement; and covering similar needs. Thus, these
soon-to-be-experienced costs or likely-to-be-experienced costs need to be factored into rates and
fees, as well. Because time marches on and costs usually inflate over time, rate setting should
take into account the need for future incremental increases to cover inflation. And, you cannot
just assume that because the utility needs more revenue that your ratepayers will be glad to pay
higher rates. Rate affordability, and the public’s perception of affordability, must be addressed,
too.
Even the simplest rates situation requires some complex and integrated calculations to
account for these factors. For that reason, I build a spreadsheet model for each analysis that
depicts, in virtual reality, the utility’s real-life financial and rates situation.
These models are dynamic. When the initial rate increase is set to be higher, future
inflationary increases can be lower. When minimum charges are set lower, unit or other charges
need to be set higher to make up the shortfall. When system development fees are assessed, the
utility’s other charges can be lower. Such modeling enables me to do dynamic “what-if”
scenario calculations. That enables me to arrive quickly at the “best fit” rates for each utility.
Coincidentally, such a dynamic model makes it easy to calculate rate and other changes
over the next two or three years, too. If your original rate modeling included the assumption
that you would get a 25 percent grant on a capital
improvement project next year but you just learned
that grant is not going to happen, the model can depict
that change. It is a simple matter for us to go back to
the original model, switch the grant to loan and re-run
new rates for you. As long as a change does not affect
your cost structure drastically, we can do the same for
almost any other change. Keep that in mind as the
months and years go by.
As you read through this report and examine the
modeling, you will probably be struck by the
complexity of it all. Please keep the above summary of
cost-based rate calculations in mind as you read on. At
their heart, the calculations are aimed at producing
adequate and fairly structured rates. Having the math
done for you, you can focus on the important things
that you need to do – adopt adequate and fair rate
structures. These will serve your ratepayers and your
utility well.
For the techie reader, the analysis model we use – a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet application we call, “CBGreatRates” – is usually 3.8 mega-bites in size. Each rate analysis includes one of these sheets.
For a 1,000-connection utility, for example, we use another spreadsheet, 12.1 mega-bites in size, to sort and calculate customer volume use. We use one of these sheets for each rate class. There are usually five or so for the simplest rates. Each of these sheets is linked to the client’s usage data file, usually a few mega-bites in size, for importing usage data. Thus, an analysis for a 1,000 connection utility totals 65 or so mega-bites in size.
For some of our larger client utilities with more rate classes and more customers, total size of all the linked spreadsheets runs over 250 mega-bites. We run computers with lots of RAM and memory but some of the calculations for larger utilities can take around 90 minutes to run. When usage data sheet runtimes get long we usually switch to a database format application to speed up the heavy number crunching.

Please keep two more things in mind:
• Time is money, often very big money, when it comes to rate setting. A rate increase
delayed is a rate increase that must be even higher to reach the same reserve target.
Get to know this report well but do not spend months mulling it over. Time will not
make your rate setting task easier. Proceed deliberately but pretty quickly and make
the needed changes.
• You will get some complaints because some customers’ bills will go up, some
markedly. In my experience, most of the time, when the math is laid out for all to
see, a few people will complain about higher rates for a month or two. But, before
long, they discover the increase was not the huge issue they thought it was. We find
that the typical residential customer’s bill increase usually works out to a few dollars
per month initially and a few dimes per month each following year. That pales in
comparison to what is happening to the cost of almost everything else they buy
every month. Water and sewer service is a bargain almost everywhere in the U.S.
Field a few complaints for a short while, continue to treat people well and trust that
the rate increase issue will run its course soon.
Principles
I use several guiding principles when I help systems set their utility rates, fees and policies.
As you read the report and the analysis models, keep in mind that my recommendations have
been weighed against these principles:
1. Water, sewer and all other utilities are businesses, regardless of who owns them.
Businesses must cash flow properly. Otherwise, they go out of business and your
customers do not want that.
2. In addition to functioning in a business-like manner, a utility has a responsibility to its
customers to strive to guarantee its long-term prosperity for their benefit. The customers
expect the service to be there whenever they want to use it. Thus, a utility must err on
the conservative side by building and maintaining strong reserves that will enable it to
weather financial storms.
3. If a service costs the utility money, the utility should recover that cost from the most
logical “person” if that makes good business and community administration sense. For
example, generally “growth should pay for growth.” Developers should fairly pay for
their consumption of utility capacity by paying commensurate system development fees.
Likewise, service users should pay for what they use. Each user or class of users should
pay their fair share of service costs.

4. Sometimes contradicting point 3 above, if adjusting a rate, fee or policy will turn
currently “good” customers into “bad” customers, or discourage development that the
community desires, consider the necessity of the change carefully before making it. For
example, while it may be warranted, raising the minimum charge markedly to your
residential customers may make it very difficult for fixed, low-income customers to pay
their utility bill. That may cause more of them to pay late or not pay at all. That may
trigger the utility’s attorney to write collection letters to those customers and eventually
require shutoff of service. Thus, in the attempt to generate more net revenue by raising
rates, net revenues may actually go down due to non-payment and payment collection
costs. Likewise, stifling development with uncompetitive system development fees costs
a utility in the form of additional paying customers. That forces existing customers to
pay all the costs of the utility rather than sharing them with new customers.
General Issues
Concerning construction of the models, they all are essentially the same, only being
customized as needed to fit the differences of the different types of utilities and different
circumstances. The models were built to match the systems’ actual financial statements as
much as possible. However, the intent of rate modeling is to see to it that the resulting rates are
adequate to pay all system expenses for the next 10 years, build and maintain responsible
reserves and collect fees from customers on a fair basis. Because incomes and expenses in your
financial statements were not always grouped in such a way as to enable the required rate
calculation methodology, the models do not always match your statements.
For modeling purposes, it does not matter whether funds are held in the general system
account, a debt service sinking fund, repair and replacement fund, etc. Therefore, the model
accounts for funds in a more simplified way than you do. When it comes to segregating funds,
staff knows best how to do that so the model does little in this regard and leaves the
segregating up to staff.
Several line graph charts in the analysis model graphically depict some things which would
be difficult to pick out of the tables. In all the charts the blue line represents what would
happen under the recommended rates and the red line under the current rates. Financial trends
for the red lines are (generally) bad. Those for the blue lines are (generally) good. Review the
definitions section of the model to learn the meaning of terms used in the charts.
I will say it simply, like this. Chart 8 depicts reserve levels under the existing rates (red line)
and the modeled rates (blue line). When the blue line goes up, that is a good thing for the utility.
When the red line goes down, that is a bad thing, at least, if you decide to keep your current
rates. If either line is headed down toward zero, that is a very bad thing that needs to change by
reducing costs, if you prudently can, or increasing rates.
In contrast to Chart 8, Charts 3 and 4 depict user rates. When the Chart 3 and 4 blue lines go
up, meaning rates are going up, customers don’t like that. But, the utility will be better funded
as a result of those higher rates, and that benefits ratepayers because it makes their utility more
resilient and able to make improvements that will serve them better.

One thing you will notice in viewing the charts is that sometimes, only one of the lines
shows up. When that occurs, it means that all the lines are taking the same path (one line is
covering up the others). For example, sometimes Chart 5 shows only one line – the working
capital goal amount. When that happens both the current rates’ and the modeled rates’ net
revenues are adequate to satisfy the goal, so those two lines are hidden by the line for the goal.
That is because, in the models, I programmed all funds that exceed what is needed to meet the
working capital goal to “spill over” into the CIP and Debt Service fund reserve. Since the
starting balance was greater than the goal and the current and proposed rates will both
continue to meet this goal, only the goal line appears. But rest assured, the other two lines are
underneath the goal line and that is a good thing.
Charts 6 and 7 can do the same thing, making it seem like the current rates are “just as good
as” the modeled rates. But, Chart 8 will spell the difference between the two sets of rates. The
modeled rates will generate more revenue and, thus, produce stronger total reserves. Since the
working capital reserve gets truncated at a certain level, the differences in the total reserves
show up in the CIP and Debt Service fund balances. These balances appear near the bottom of
Table 6 in each model and they are included in the Chart 8 amounts.
As you set and later reset rates I suggest you follow the guidance I give in my book, “How
to Get Great Rates.” I gave a copy to City Manager Kathleen Sickles, so check with her about
reviewing it. You may also want to consider using the “Replacement Scheduler©” spreadsheet
for future equipment replacement scheduling. Send me an e-mail request and I will e-mail one
to you.
Action Recommendations for Policy and General Issues
Use the following as a checklist of “to-do” tasks. Many if not all of these things you are
already doing but they bear repeating.
1. Periodically determine how long, on average, it takes to perform the various services
you provide in the field, such as after-hours service, meter disconnects and reconnects,
special meter readings, etc. Be sure to include all the time you actually pay staff for
performing these services. Then determine how much it costs the utility per hour, on
average, to have staff perform these services. This includes benefits, taxes, use of utility
vehicles, tools and minor equipment, etc. It should also include a fair amount to cover
the time that office staff devotes to working on these services to track them, bill for them,
etc. This should be the hourly rate or a set fee you will charge for these services. In
addition, set a minimum that you will charge for showing up, whether the service takes
an hour to perform or 10 minutes. In essence, set your fees in the same way plumbers
and similar technicians do – a set fee for showing up, which buys the customer a set
amount of time, and an hourly rate if the job takes longer than the show up charge will
cover. While accounting for time and other investments in the various functions is
important, do not make the process burdensome. For many functions you likely can just
estimate your time occasionally and charge fees based upon those estimates.

2. Retain required funds in interest bearing debt service and debt reserve accounts when
required by your lender(s).
3. Have me conduct a full rate analysis again when your actual financial performance and
my projection of future performance diverges markedly. That may be up to five years
from now or whenever a new, large financial upset or change is looming; typically, a
large capital improvement project.
4. Fully adopt management strategies that are included in what is most commonly called,
“advanced asset management.” These strategies can yield better service and reduced
costs for utilities, especially those looking to build new facilities or replace existing
facilities soon, which is a critical issue for your utilities.
5. Continue to track your volume usage, incomes and expenses on a regular basis so the
data and information you generate will support future rate adjustments as well as they
did this one.
6. As a reminder, check with your attorney for language and legality of all charges and
issues discussed.
Subsection 1: Water Rates – Model 1
Current water rate revenues are inadequate to pay those costs you currently expect to
incur, including debt service recently incurred. Rates should also be restructured so they will be
closer to the cost to serve structure, as previously described. And, I recommend you switch
from the current structure that varies minimum charges based upon the “type” of customer
served to a minimum charge structure based upon water meter size.
Future Service Outside of Town and Wholesale Rates
My general recommendation is, just don’t serve customers outside of your jurisdiction and
don’t offer wholesale rates. But, sometimes there are good reasons to do so.
In most parts of the Country I see rate premiums for out of jurisdiction service anywhere
from 125 to 200 percent of in-jurisdiction service for “retail” service. That means a retail
customer, like a residential property, would pay 25 to 100 percent more out of town than if they
were located in-town. I recommend, and in my modeling I assumed you will assess fees to out
of Town customers at 150 percent of the in-town retail rates.
For individual out of town customers; the residential property on the edge of Town, a
percentage premium over the in-town retail rates can work just fine. The dollar volume for such
customers does not warrant the time and expense of calculating individualized cost of service
rates for such situations like it does for larger wholesale customers.
That said, I recommend the Town not agree to serve new out of town individual customers
in the future. Instead, have the properties annex into Town and then serve them through your
regular rates. If you already have such a working policy, keep it up.

If wholesale service is done under a supply
agreement, it should be priced at marginal cost plus an
agreed upon profit margin. This allows the seller to
recover all related costs plus have the profit incentive
to sell in the first place. It almost always allows the
buyer to buy at lower cost than if they acquired the
service themselves. Thus, both parties “win,” and that
leads to a good, long-term relationship.
Convenience should also be considered in
wholesale supply agreements. If the “hassle factor” is
too great, avoid such agreements.
Wholesale arrangements should work for both
parties, transparently and simply. Or, just don’t go into
them.
I recommend that, in the future, if you, the Town,
are approached by would-be water purchasers, you
continue to require the purchaser to annex into the
Town and then sell them water, priced by your rate
ordinance, just like you do all other in-town customers.
Most of the remainder of this report will describe
the nature of the utility’s costs plus other issues the
Town needs to deal with to arrive at adequate and fair
rates for all other customers.
Capital Improvements and Equipment Repair
and Replacement
You recently incurred new debt on system
improvements and I project you will incur more debt
and pay for more improvements out of system reserves
in the near future. Debt service and cash-paid capital
improvement costs will soon account for about one-
quarter of your operating costs – not a heavy debt load
but it will account for about 25 percent of the rates you
must assess.
Table 5, page 49, lays out coming and assumed capital improvements and debt service. I
assumed that substantial capital improvement program (CIP) costs will be paid with loan
proceeds and all others with cash reserves, with one exception. The Northridge waterline
replacement project will be paid by the Northridge users.
System development fees
Throughout this report and the rate analysis models you will see the terms “tap fee,” “tap-on fee” and “connection charges.” There are other names for these and similar fees.
Most small systems and those that are less sophisticated set “tap-on fees” and similar fees anecdotally, and almost always too low, as well. They almost never attempt to recover the full cost of the infrastructure capacity they dedicate to each customer when they authorize them to “tap on.” Rarely do they even have much of an idea how much that capacity costs.
Failing to assess development costs to development is a problem because with each dedication of capacity to customers, the capacity of the utility gets “used up.” That hastens the day when new capacity must be built. If that capacity cost is not assessed to those who cause it, it will be assessed by default to all customers. That forces existing customers to subsidize development, and that is a rate structure fairness issue.
In your ordinances and elsewhere, I recommend you call new connection charges by the name, “system development fees.” This descriptively tells developers and new customers what they are paying for. It is not just an arbitrary fee. They are actually buying something of great value. Then, assess as much of the full cost of system development as you can and still be competitive with comparable cities.
Later in this report when you see “tap-on fee” and those other terms, think, “system development fee.” And when you talk with customers and others about this fee, make sure they know this is not just “government assessing another kind of tax.” This is a utility having customers fairly pay for what they are buying – capacity to serve them.

Debt, System Development Fees and Capacity Surcharges
Including increasing debt payments, your overall annual CIP costs are projected to stay
modest. As briefly alluded to in the previous Subsection, I recommend you assess system
development fees and capacity surcharges that recover at least part of these capacity costs, and
do it based upon water meter size, as further described in the following.
1. You should assess system development fees that recover as much of the peak capacity
costs as possible, but at the same time they should be at least somewhat competitive
with system development (tap) fees of nearby, similar utilities. (In your case, the latter is
likely the controlling factor since you recently found it desirable to give a temporary
discount on tap fees.) I calculated your system development fees so that the fee for a
five-eighths or three-quarter inch water meter (the most common residential meter sizes)
would be $8,000 – the same as your current fee. This fee level coupled with your
expected growth rate will only cover ten percent (bottom of Table 11, page 73) of your
expected system improvement costs.
2. Larger meter sizes would be assessed higher system development fees based upon the
maximum sustainable flow rate of each meter as determined by flow studies done by the
American Water Works Association. The current fees for larger meters are well below
the full-cost of their capacity. Therefore, I included an “economy of scale” discount
factor of 30.4 percent to reduce the system development fee of the larger meter sizes,
bringing them closer to the current fees. My recommended system development fees are
shown in Table 1, page 34, of this narrative report.
3. Revenues generated by system development fees would be low because the rates will be
low and your growth rate is low. But the important reason for moving closer to full-cost
system development fees is to charge each customer or developer for whatever it is they
get from the utility. Some of that is actual service – metered water volume. Some of it is
simply the capacity to provide service which is related to the size of the meter. In
addition, you should be seen by all ratepayers as attempting to recover costs from each
based upon the costs that each causes the utility to incur.
4. You should assess the balance (90 percent) of the capacity costs through a minimum
charge surcharge, again, based upon water meter size. Surcharges collect revenue over
time as customers use the system. These fees are shown on the bottom of Table 13, page
75.
Model 1 calculated system development charges from the smallest possible customer meter
to a two-inch meter. I recommend that you adopt this set of system development fees (revise
your current table).

So far, you have only allowed meters to a maximum of two inches to be installed.
Assuming that maximum will continue to be appropriate, I recommend you let Town staff
handle deciding what meter size (5/8 to two inch) is appropriate for each new customer.
Likewise, staff would then assess the system development fee amount listed in your ordinance
for the installed meter size for each new customer.
The council, of course, has the authority and should, when warranted, exercise its
prerogative to accept (grant a variance for) new connections for some other system
development fee amount and/or for other considerations offered by a potential new customer.
Most commonly, the issue will be economic development and job creation by a new customer
needing a large meter size. There are town-wide benefits to allowing such new customers to
build or expand in the town that outweigh the possible loss in system development fee
revenues. I suggest that, in your ordinance that includes the system development fees table, you
include a statement that the council retains the authority to allow new connections for fees or
other considerations that, in the view of the council, yield other substantial benefits to the
Town.
I recommend you assess the same system development fee to five-eighth and three-quarter
inch meters because these are the most common meter sizes for residential customers in most
systems and almost all these meters are in use by residential customers. Setting the same system
development fee for these meter sizes will simplify administration of the system development
fee program. To make minimum charges consistent with the system development fee structure,
you should assess the same minimum charge for these meter sizes, as well.
Target Reserve Levels
Your current water reserves are below the target of $674,888. The rates I modeled will
increase reserves gradually to the target.
Most systems serving fewer than 5,000 connections, including yours, should have reserves
at least as high as the sum of the following:
1. Unobligated cash and cash equivalent reserves equal to at least 35 percent of the
annual operating costs, not including debt service;
2. A 20-year repair and replacement (R&R) schedule reserve, in the 20th year equal to
at least one average year’s cost of R&R; and
3. Capital improvement reserves at the end of the tenth year, after debt is paid, equal
to that year’s debt payments.
I modeled your rates to generate these reserve levels 10 years from now. The lines on the
bottom of Table 14, page 76, and several of the charts starting on page 98, show your reserve
balances expected for the next 10 years. The last line of the table, the “Sum of All Reserves,” is
the critical one. By the tenth year you should achieve the targeted reserves level goal.

A Technical Note About How Reserves Are Shown in the Model
In Table 14 you will see some negative reserves. Here’s why. I created a repair and
replacement (R&R) “reserve.” I assumed the starting balance for that reserve was zero. Because
of that, the deposits you would need to make to such a reserve to cover costs over the next 20
years would be too low in the early years to fully cover those costs. Thus, this fund would go
negative for a few years. In practice, staff would fund R&R as needed from regular cash
reserves.
In addition, at the bottom of Table 14, the Sum of All Reserves amounts are projected to go
negative in the middle years of the projection period. That is due to a combination of a negative
balance for R&R and new debt service that will start about that time. After 2021, reserves are
projected to go back above zero and reach the target total reserve in the tenth year. Because the
sewer reserve is projected to be quite strong during this period of time, I assumed you will loan
from the sewer fund to the water fund to cover the shortfall.
The take-away concerning reserves is, the “Sum of All Reserves” is the key balance to track.
You can see that it short period where it is slightly negative, but then it will gradually grow,
satisfying the target reserves goal in the tenth year.
Minimum Charge, Unit Charge and Usage Allowance Rate Structures
Your current rate structure is complex. I recommend you make the structure much simpler
and fairer.
Minimum Charges
Your current minimum charge structure assesses different minimum charges to different
types of customers – single family residential, multi-unit residential (apartments, motels and
mobile home parks are assessed a partial minimum charge for each unit in the establishment),
commercial and so forth. It is likely the notion behind these myriad minimum charges is to
collect more from those customers that cause greater capacity costs.
The better way to achieve that goal is to assess minimum charges that include a surcharge
to recover capacity costs based upon meter size. That rate structure was discussed previously
and is calculated in Table 13, page 75.
I also note that your current minimum charges include several across the board surcharges
to pay debt, etc. Again, I recommend meter size-based surcharges to accomplish this but if your
bond agreement requires these flat surcharges, deduct those fees from the calculated minimums
and then add them back as a named surcharge or fee.
Unit Charges
Some of your rates include a conservation rate increase at 300,000 gallons of use. Only
seven bills out of 14,851 were for volumes that exceeded this volume so for all practical
purposes, you do not have conservation rates. To make your rates simpler, I recommend you
eliminate the conservation structure and adopt level unit charges.

Usage Allowance
Rate for the majority of your customers (residential) include a 9,999 gallon per month usage
allowance. Other rates include no usage allowance. Any usage allowance skews the rates away
from a cost of service structure. A high usage allowance like this one skews rates drastically.
An example will make this clearer. During the test year, 54.7 percent of your customers
were in-town residential customers served by ¾ inch meters. These customers averaged 9,041
gallons of water use per month. (This data is shown on the first page of Table 16, page 83.) Thus,
the majority of your in-town residential customers paid only the minimum charge during all or
most months. That means that, an elderly, low-income woman living alone using 2,000 gallons
per month paid the same bill amount as the average customer. That is clearly not fair.
To address this issue, I recommend you eliminate the usage allowance and assess the unit
charge on all volume used by each customer. Doing this drives down the unit charge because
that charge is applied to approximately 50 percent more billable volume.
That said, I still expect many customers to be more conservative with water use because
they will be billed for all volume used, not just the volume over 9,999 gallons per month. Since a
large percentage of the in-town residential customers and some others will see this allowance
change, and they average close this allowance amount, I expect conservation to reduce revenues
by ten percent, as shown near the bottom of Table 3, page 47. That conservation “cost” was as a
cost to be covered by rates so the resulting final rates cover this revenue loss.
“Snow Bird” Billing
Some customers, commonly called “snow birds,” only live in the town for part of the year.
You may have few such customers, in which case, you may want to disregard this Subsection.
Otherwise, consider this approach with snow birds.
It is common for such customers to discontinue water and sewer service while they are
gone, if you allow them to. That eliminates their water and sewer bills during their time away,
which is good for them. However, that is not good for full-year customers because they end up
paying the unavoidable fixed costs for snow birds while the snow birds are away.
While it is true that snow birds are not using any volume during their time away, they still
cause the town to incur various fixed and capacity costs. Prominent among these are the costs of
debt service paid to build system capacity to serve them and the cost of basic administration
and maintenance required to keep the system in working order so when these customers return
there will be water and sewer service available for them to resume consuming.
The analogy of home mortgage payments and property taxes applies to a utility’s
unavoidable fixed costs. The banker and the county do not forgive debt and taxes during the
time the homeowner is not in the house. Neither should the town forgive their unavoidable
fixed and capital costs while the customer is away.

Many systems require snow birds to continue paying the full minimum charge. If that is
your policy and you want to continue that way, you need not read the rest of this Subsection.
Otherwise, continue.
In my view assessing the full minimum charge to snow birds is excessive because snow
birds do not cause the system to incur all of its fixed costs while they are away; only the
unavoidable fixed costs.
Therefore, I recommend the town assess relevant fixed costs to snow birds as a capacity
maintenance fee, which will be only part of the minimum charge. That fee was calculated as
follows.
Table 9, page 56, calculates the average cost fixed cost basis for snow birds and further
calculates the percentage of average snow bird fixed costs compared to the average fixed costs
of active customers from Table 8, page 55. This percentage is then applied to the meter size-
based minimum charges calculated in Table 13, page 75, to arrive at the snow bird fee for each
meter size in the last column of that table.
If a snow bird simply goes away and returns but does not notify you that they will be
away, they simply have not identified themselves as snow birds. Thus, their account should
remain in active status. In that case, they would continue to be billed based upon their rate class
rates. Almost all snow birds handle their utility accounts in this way. But, if they notify you
they will be away, you can offer them this billing service:
• You can disconnect their meter, for which they would pay a disconnect fee, and
place their account in “snow bird” status while they are gone.
• They would be assessed the appropriate snow bird fee each billing period and pay
that fee, if they give you the address to which you would send their snow bird bills.
Otherwise, if you allow this option, their bills would accrue until they return.
• When they return, you would reconnect their meter, assess the meter reconnection
fee plus any accrued bills and resume billing them as an active customer.
Unless water line freeze-up is a concern, I suspect the simplest and cheapest alternative for
most customers would be to remain in active customer status. For small meter customers, the
minimum charge is slightly higher than the snow bird fee but by remaining in active status they
would avoid the cost of meter disconnection and reconnection and come out ahead if they are
not gone long. This status also makes billing and administration simpler because town staff
would not have to change the customer’s status in the billing program, disconnect their meter
and reconnect it again when they return.

Rate Affordability
As shown near the top of Table 14, page 76 and
graphically in Chart 4, page 99, the affordability
index of your current rates, at 1.28 percent, is a bit
higher than the approximate national average of 1.0
percent. The rates I think you should adopt from
Model 1 would be higher for this volume of water,
with an affordability index of 1.69 percent. With
inflationary increases to future rates at more than
the rate at which incomes are projected to rise, the affordability index would go up to 1.99
percent by the tenth year. Rates would be much less affordability.
A key issue to consider related to the Affordability Index is grant and subsidized loan
eligibility. Most grant programs and some loan programs aim at reducing the rate affordability
index to 1.5 percent for each of the utilities it funds. Your affordability index will exceed that
threshold after adopting the modeled rates this year. It will be even higher when the time comes
to fund several CIP projects in the next few years. Thus, you should be looked on favorably by
the grant and loan agencies for grant and subsidized loan eligibility. If you qualify for such
funding, your rates will end up being lower than I have modeled.
The affordability index is useful but it does not depict how new rates will affect customers
using different volumes. Table 15, page 77, shows how certain customers’ bills at different
volumes of use will be affected by the recommended rates. Because there are so many variations
of bills for current rates versus bills at the modeled rates, I limited the example bills shown to
reduce the volume of the table but still show large groups of customers and the range of meter
sizes.
Due to restructuring, most low volume customers’ bills will go down. Higher volume
customers’ bills will go up. That is due to (usually) lower minimum charges and elimination of
the 9,999 gallons per month usage allowance.
Recommendations for Water Rates – Model 1
Model 1 contains all my rates-related recommendations and shows what they are built
upon. However, Model 1 is complex, plus it does not cover policy issues. Therefore, I have
summarized most of my recommendations as follows:
1. You should assess the meter size-based monthly minimum and unit charges, usage
allowance, snow bird fees and system development fees shown in Table 1, that follows this
list. That includes making the out of town premium consistent, at 150 percent of the in-town
rates. Please note: When you enter new rates into your billing program, do not
automatically accept the meter size that I assigned to customers in the models. Verify the
meter size of each customer and then assign the appropriate minimum charge from this
report.
Affordability Index: The monthly charge for (typically) 5,000 gallons of residential service divided by the median monthly household income for the area served by the system. An index of 1.0, meaning a household pays one percent of its income to pay its bill for 5,000 gallons of service, is generally considered affordable. Affordability index is a primary factor in determining grant and loan eligibility and grant amount.

2. As to system development fees (tap fees):
a) I recommend that almost all new connections, especially all those made to serve
properties with water meters two inches in diameter or less, be paid for at the rates
included in your system development fee rate table. However, the Council should retain
the authority to waive the standard system development fee or adjust that charge for
certain larger meter size customers that, due to other offsetting values they would bring
to the town (primarily economic development) that would substantially benefit the
town.
b) Continue to bill for equipment and services that the Town provides to facilitate making
new connections. Call these whatever you want, but be clear that these charges are
separate from system development fees.
3. The calculations assumed you will make these adjustments on or about July 1, 2017,
enabling you to collect at these rates starting August 1, 2017. You would need to satisfy all
State requirements for making rate adjustments in advance of this date. If you miss this rate
adjustment date, that would reduce the revenues I projected you will collect.
4. If all goes as calculated, on the one-year anniversary of making the rate adjustments called
for above, and for several years thereafter, raise all rates and fees across the board by 3.5
percent. If balances do not accrue as rapidly as shown at the bottom of Table 14, page 76,
follow the instructions in Chapter 9 of the book, “How to Get Great Rates” to adjust this
inflationary factor appropriately.
5. If you do not already do so, assess a late payment fee of $10.00 or ten percent of the
outstanding total bill amount owed to the Town, whichever is greater, each month.
6. You should examine your shut off, reconnection and meter charges and similar fees to
determine if they are high enough to recover the related costs.

Closing
I recommend you adopt the rates calculated in Model 1, shown in the table above. These
rates will enable you to build appropriately strong reserves, cover increasing costs, repay debt,
be prepared for contingencies and do so using rates that are fairer.
As you address issues raised in this report and the analyses, you will have questions. Ask
them. My goal is to help you set and keep adequate, fair and appropriately simple or complex
rates. That takes time and effort and it may stretch out beyond the “conclusion” of the project.
*****
Subsection 2: Sewer Rates – Model 2
Subsection 2 is like Subsection 1, except it covers sewer rates issues. Where issues,
recommendations, etc. are the same for sewer as for water, I will not mention them in this
Subsection and you should apply what you read in Subsection 1 to the equivalent sewer issues
in Subsection 2, as well. If a sewer rates issue is different from the description in the water
subsection, I will cover that in the sewer subsection.
The current sewer rates are close to being adequate to cover operating costs plus new debt
service recently incurred. The larger issue is that sewer rates need to be restructured. Unlike the
water fund, the sewer fund has strong reserves which are modeled to remain strong for the next
ten years. That is a good thing because, recall in the water subsection, I mentioned that the
water fund will likely need to borrow a relatively small amount from the sewer fund during a
few years, starting about three years from now. But the water fund will quickly recover and be
able to pay the sewer fund back.
Capital Improvements and Equipment Repair and Replacement
You recently built a new wastewater treatment plant. It should be relatively problem-free
and low in cost to repair and replace for several years. However, you still have older lines in the
ground, rolling stock and system appurtenances to repair and replace. I added an assumed
increase (7.2 percent) to your current replacement schedule to give you a buffer against things
needing attention before you might expect.
All of these needs are depicted in Table 5, page 120, and Tables 6 and 7, starting on page
121.
Target Reserve Levels
Your current sewer reserves exceed the target slightly. When I find that to be the case, I use
the current reserve level, increased by the rate of inflation over ten years, as the future target
reserve. Lines on the bottom of Table 14, page 135, and several of the charts starting on page
143, show your reserve balances expected for the next 10 years. The last line of the table, the
“Sum of All Reserves,” is the critical one. By the tenth year you should achieve the reserves goal
above.

[email protected] (573) 619-3411
As I noted for the water reserves, some line-item reserves will go negative in future years.
But, the Sum of All Reserves amounts will stay strongly positive for the next ten years.
Minimum Charge, Unit Charge and Usage Allowance Rate Structures
Like the water rates, sewer rates are complex and I recommend simplifying them. Though
the actual rates will be different, I also recommend adopting the same basic sewer minimum
and unit charge and usage allowance structures as recommended for the water rates. One
difference I recommend for sewer is winter average billing for residential customers.
All sewer rates include a base rate plus a $12.50 sewer plant improvement fee. The rates I
recommend also include a base rate, called a “minimum charge.” This charge varies based upon
the water meter size that serves each property. The cost of paying for the sewer plant
improvements is built into each minimum charge but it is not $12.50 for each property. Rather,
it is based upon the ability of each water meter size to “demand” flow volume, which is
generally the same volume that is or could be returned to the sewer system.
Currently, most residential customers do not pay a unit charge. They pay only a minimum
charge that escalates as the number of living units in an establishment goes up.
Commercial customers of the various classes pay the same minimum charge, they are given
a 999 gallon per month usage allowance and for all volume after that, they pay a $2.00, $2.50 or
$3.00 per 1,000 gallons unit charge, depending on the customer class.
You do not surcharge high-strength wastewater customers for the extra cost to collect and
treat their wastewater. But, you probably have few such customers and when their wastewater
is mixed with residential wastewater, the higher strength wastewater probably boosts the
average strength very little. If you have a very high-strength wastewater customer, you should
surcharge them. Otherwise, keeping it simple and forgoing such surcharges makes operations
and billing much easier with little effect on other customers’ rates.
Assumptions About Residential Sewer Use Volumes
The Town did not read water meters for (most) residential customers during the winter of
2015-16. For water billing, that is something of an issue, because most of your residential
customers were given a usage allowance. However, not having winter water meter readings is a
serious issue regarding sewer billing, if it is to be based on winter average water use. If there are
no winter meter readings, there are no winter water volumes to average. My recommendation is
that you move to winter averaged billing for residential sewer use.

I was not able to base the winter average use rates I calculated, as described in the next
subsection, on actual sewer volume usage. Instead, I had to make assumptions about the
volumes different types of residential customers used by each customer. I had to assume
average usage rates for each of the following residential customer types, based upon my
experience of average sewer use in systems like yours with average incomes like those in
Cedaredge. These are my volume assumptions:
• Residential In Town and Out of Town customers – 4,000 gallons per month
• Residential Multi-unit In Town and Multi-unit Out of Town customers – 3,000
gallons per unit per month
My recommended unit charge is based upon these flow rates. Next year, when you reset
the residential unit charge and calculate bills for each residential sewer customer, you will,
instead, use the actual winter average use for each customer. That process is described in the
next subsection.
Winter Averaged Billing for Residential Customers
You do not yet have winter water meter readings for all residential customers. Therefore,
you cannot set residential winter averaged sewer rates as described here, yet. But, once you
have gone through another winter season and you have winter residential water meter
readings, you will be able to set rates as described here.
For residential customers only, I recommend assessing sewer user charges based upon
winter average water use. Winter averaged billing usually results in markedly lower sewer bills
for most residential customers as compared to full year water meter readings-based rates
because they are not assessed sewer charges on “consumptive use” of water. That is because
they are given “credit” for water they do not return to the sewer collection system. (Note: This
billing structure should only be applied to residential customers. Another technique
appropriate for commercial, industrial and institutional customers will be discussed in the next
subsection.)
One of the nice things about winter averaged billing is that, since all residential customers’
bills are fixed for a long period of time, your revenue stream will be very dependable. Sewer
revenues will not go up or down (much) due to fluctuations in water sales during the year
because most of the sewer volume comes from residential properties.
The winter average bill process takes a little work to set up, but it will make your billing
simple in the future. You will bill all residential customers on an actual sewer use basis as much
as it is possible, while still keeping the billing system simple.

Most winter averaged bills are calculated using three winter months, usually December,
January and February. You can use other months, if you desire. The key is, do not use months
that have much consumptive use of water. Proceed as follows:
• For each residential customer, total up their water use for the previous months of
December, January and February (more or fewer months, as you desire). If volume
for any of these months is zero or unusually low (“Snow Birds”) or otherwise an
unusual amount, use different months from the “skirt” of the previous winter
season or just drop the non-use and low use month(s) and calculate the average
from fewer months. If that customer’s winter-time use is simply not usable or they
have no winter-time use, bill that customer the average bill amount for all
residential customers served by the size water meter they have.
• For each customer, divide the volume sum by the applicable number of months.
This is the winter averaged monthly use for each customer.
• To calculate each customer’s sewer bill, from their average volume use, deduct the
usage allowance, which I have recommended to be zero gallons. Then multiply by
the required unit charge rate. Add the required minimum charge based on that
customer’s water meter size. The result will be the bill amount to assess to that
customer every month until you repeat this calculation in the future and adjust rates
again. Because each residential customer’s bill will be based upon their average
volume use and the minimum charge appropriate for them, their resulting bill will
be fixed but unique to them and proportional to their use.
• Do the same for each residential customer. (These checks and calculations can be
done en masse with a spreadsheet. If you have a new, full-featured billing program,
it will even do the calculations and enter the new bill amounts for you.)
• Enter the bill amount for each residential customer into your billing program and
you are done. Until you enter new bill amounts again for residential customers your
billing program will send each customer their own unique bill amount for sewer use
based upon their winter averaged water usage.
o I suggest you repeat the process every year so you will have new usage data for
bill calculations each time. Do this either in the spring, when you have new
winter data available, or just before the start of the next budget year. If you do
these recalculations at the same time you adopt inflationary rate increases each
year, customers will only experience one bill adjustment/increase each year.

When a new home is built or a home changes owners there will be no previous winter
averaged water use for the new owners from which to calculate a winter averaged sewer bill. In
such a case, or similar cases, I recommend two alternatives. If the new owner of one home was
already a customer of the system in another home, you can apply the sewer rate from the
previous home to their new home. Or, you can temporarily charge a new customer the average
residential sewer bill amount (in-town for in-town customers and out of town for out of town
customers) for their meter size. Once the property has been through a winter season with the
new owners, its winter averaged bill can be calculated.
Unmetered homes are a slightly different matter. The average single family residential
home is usually served water by a five-eighths inch or three-quarter inch meter. Unmetered
single family residential homes should be assessed bills no less than the bill appropriate for the
average use of these meter size classes. That is important for at least two reasons:
• Unmetered customers tend to use more water and run more water down the sewer
drain than they would if they were paying water and sewer bills based upon
metered use, and
• If a customer prefers, you can give them the option of installing a water meter
approved by the Town so they can become a metered sewer customer. That option
is discussed in the next subsection.
Do Not Apply Sewer Rates to Consumptive Use of Water
Some commercial or similar customers may use large volumes of water that do not get
returned to the sewer system. This is called, “consumptive use.” The Town could do winter
averaged billing for commercial establishments, if it desired. However, commercial water and
sewer use can be quite different from residential use and not coincide well with seasons of the
year. For that reason, I recommend you not offer winter averaged billing to any customers
except those that are residential.
Still, the Town should give commercial and similar customers the opportunity to avoid
paying sewer fees on water that they believe they do not put into the sewer system. That can be
done by allowing them to segment their internal water piping systems into two parts, as
approved by the Town, and then assessing sewer bills that do not include water volume that is
consumed (not returned to the sewer system). One part of the piping system would serve
consumptive use facilities. The other part would serve the company’s or other customer’s
restroom and similar facilities that are plumbed for sewer service. Such customers could then
install a second water meter, as approved by the Town, from which consumptive water use
could be determined. This meter is often called the “deduct” meter.
When billing these customers, the Town would assess water rates based upon the readings
from the meter that meters all water use and sewer rates only on the net volume that serves the
restrooms and similar facilities that are plumbed into the sewer system. One minimum for
water service and one minimum for sewer service should be assessed to the bill.

Obviously, configuring piping systems in this way can be done more conveniently and
cheaply when a new facility is being designed. For that reason, I suggest that you have the
Town department that handles planning and construction permits, in its application process,
make applicants aware of this optional billing procedure. That will enable them to take
advantage of it if they think it will significantly reduce their expected sewer bill. In so doing, the
Town government and developers of properties within the town would be working together to
try to optimize how the town works as an integrated water using system.
I have recommended rates that assess, to in-town customers, minimum charges based upon
meter size and one set of unit charges. Out of town customers would be on the same rate
structure except that all minimums and unit charges would be at the out of town rates.
Rate Affordability
As shown near the top of Table 14, page 135 and graphically in Chart 4, page 144, the
affordability index of your current rates, at 1.20 percent, is a bit higher than the approximate
national average of 1.0 percent. The rates I think you should adopt from Model 2 would be
higher for this volume of sewer, with an affordability index of 1.49 percent. With inflationary
increases to future rates at slightly less than the rate at which incomes are projected to rise, the
affordability index would go down gradually to 1.41 percent by the tenth year.
Table 15, page 136, shows how the assumed average residential customers’ bills in several
different rate classes will be affected by the recommended rates. Commercial customers’ bills
are based on their actual volume usage.
Due to restructuring, small-meter commercial customers’ bills, because they are metered,
will go down if they use less than about 3,000 gallons. Above that volume, such commercial
bills will go up. Larger meter commercial customers’ bill will go up regardless of volume used.
Multi-unit living establishments with at least three living units, due to the change in rate
structure, would see their bills go down. Multi-unit living establishments with two or fewer
living units, and single-family homes would see their bills go up.
It is worth noting again, meter readings for residential properties were not available yet to
establish the recommended residential sewer rates. Those rates are based upon assumed
averages for each class. Once meter readings are available, residential rates can be set based
upon the volumes used by each customer. That should occur after next winter’s water meter
readings are available. When bills are recalculated using meter readings, you should expect bills
for low-volume residential customers to go down and those using higher volumes to see their
bills stay about the same or rise.
Recommendations for Sewer Rates – Model 2
Model 2 contains all my rates-related recommendations and shows what they are built
upon. However, Model 2 is complex, plus it does not cover policy issues. Therefore, I have
summarized most of my recommendations as follows:

1. You should assess the meter size-based monthly minimum and unit charges, usage
allowance, snow bird fees and system development fees shown in Table 2, that follows this
list. That includes making the out of town premium consistent, at 150 percent of the in-town
rates. Please note: When you enter new rates into your billing program, do not
automatically accept the meter size that I assigned to customers in the models. Verify the
meter size of each customer and then assign the appropriate minimum charge from this
report.
2. As to system development fees (tap fees):
a) I recommend that almost all new connections, especially all those made to serve
properties with water meters two inches in diameter or less, be paid for at the rates
included in your system development fee rate table. However, the Council should retain
the authority to waive the standard system development fee or adjust that charge for
certain larger meter size customers that, due to other offsetting values they would bring
to the town (primarily economic development) that would substantially benefit the
town.
b) Continue to bill for equipment and services that the Town provides to facilitate making
new connections. Call these whatever you want, but be clear that these charges are
separate from system development fees.
3. The calculations assumed you will make these adjustments on or about July 1, 2017,
enabling you to collect at these rates starting August 1, 2017. You would need to satisfy all
State requirements for making rate adjustments in advance of this date. If you miss this rate
adjustment date, that would reduce the revenues I projected you will collect.
4. If all goes as calculated, on the one-year anniversary of making the rate adjustments called
for above, and for several years thereafter, raise all rates and fees across the board by 1.3
percent. If balances do not accrue as rapidly as shown at the bottom of Table 14, page 135,
follow the instructions in Chapter 9 of the book, “How to Get Great Rates” to adjust this
inflationary factor appropriately.
5. If you do not already do so, assess a late payment fee of $10.00 or ten percent of the
outstanding total bill amount owed to the Town, whichever is greater, each month.
6. You should examine your shut off, reconnection and meter charges and similar fees to
determine if they are high enough to recover the related costs.

prepared for contingencies and do so using fairly structured rates.

Conclusion
“Conclusion” is a misnomer here. This report provides information upon which the Town
can make decisions. Thus, it only begins the process of taking rate setting, and possibly other
actions.
Consider the report carefully and when you are ready to move to the next steps, keep the
following in mind.
Everyone impacted by Town of Cedaredge water and sewer rates should at least be made
aware of the results of this report.
• My default recommendation is to give any customer as much information as they
want. If they want a copy of the full report, give them that.
• Give the media a copy of the full report so they can quote the report directly and
accurately rather than be forced to “figure things out.” Much of this is very
complex. Few people know how to, or have the time to, calculate utility rates. Make
it easy for everyone to get it right.
• For most in-town customers, what would happen to their water and sewer bills is as
much as they will care to know about these analyses. To satisfy those information
needs, the Town can publicize the current and recommended rates and/or the bill
comparisons.
• A few customers will want to know more, especially high-volume customers. Give
them the full report, if that is what they want.
• A good way to accomplish these things is to post the report on the Town’s Web site
so everyone can see for themselves what the report says and no one would have to
print out 100+ pages to do it, unless they wanted to. Publicize the Web posting
widely and publicly. Information is a good thing. Being seen as trying hard to get
information out to folks is also a good thing.
The Town has me scheduled to present my findings, recommendations and answer
questions at a special public meeting on May 24. Everyone should get to ask questions of me
and learn the impacts of my analysis work at that meeting.
As you can see, this is going to go on for a while but do not let it become a long while. As
you progress through the process, keep me informed and ask me questions. I am confident we
can get your water and sewer rates set in an adequate and fair structure.

Affordability Index
The monthly charge for (typically) 5,000 gallons of residential service divided by the median monthly
household income for the area served by the system. An index of 1.0, meaning a household pays one
percent of its income to pay its bill for 5,000 gallons of service, is generally considered affordable.
Affordability index is a primary factor in determining grant and loan eligibility and grant amount.
Analysis Year
The year following the "test year." Generally, rate analysis is done during the year following the "test year"
and intial rate adjustments are done later still during the analysis year or sometime during the following year
once the analysis shows how rates should be adjusted. See related "test year."
Capital Improvement Plan or Program (CIP)A schedule of anticipated capital improvements. These are the more expensive items such as treatment
plants, lines and other expensive infrastructure that generally requires bond or grant funding.
Capital Improvement Reserves Cash reserves dedicated to funding the CIP
Comprehensive Rate Analysis
A thorough examination of a system’s operating, capital improvement, equipment replacement and other
costs, revenues, current rates, number of users and their use of the system, growth rates and all other key
issues surrounding the system. This examination will determine how rates and fees should be set in the
future to cash-flow the system properly, to build appropriate reserves and to be fair to ratepayers. It also will
determine how policies should be adjusted to enable the system to operate well now, operate well in the
medium-range future (about 10 years) and prepare for expected and expectable events such as capital
improvements and equipment replacement.
Connection Charge See hook-up fee
Conservation (Inclining) Rates Unit charges that go up as the volume used goes up
Cost to Produce
There are several ways to define and calculate cost to produce. Each is acceptable for different purposes.
Generally, cost to produce is the total of all variable costs required to get service to a utility’s customers
during one year divided by the total units of service delivered during that year. This calculation will yield the
average cost to produce. In a proportional to use rate structure, this is the unit charge. See "Cost
Calculations" at the bottom of Chart 19.
Cost to Serve RatesRates where fixed and variable costs generated by each user class are paid by that class with minimum and
unit charges, respectively. Similar to and sometimes the same as "proportional to use" rates.
Cost Types; Fixed and Variable
The two main types of costs are fixed - those that are related to the fact that someone is a customer; and
variable - those that are related to the volume of the commodity delivered to customers. Generally, fixed
costs should be recovered with minimum charges and variable costs with unit charges.
Coverage Ratio (CR)Incomes available to pay debt divided by the amount of the debt for that year. Most systems should have a
CR of 1.25 or higher.
Current Position
For purposes of this report, for one year, the sum of all incomes and undedicated reserves minus all current
financial obligations for that year. Future obligations (next year’s loan payments) and depreciation are not
included. Current position is a good measure of overall financial health.
Declining Rates Rates where unit charges go down as the volume used goes up
Flat Rates Rates where all users pay exactly the same fee regardless of the volume of service they use
Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) or
Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU)
Based upon number of water using fixtures, average flow, potential flow or similar criteria; the consumption
rate of the average single family home is rated at one EDU. All other types of customers are then compared
on this measuring basis and the EDUs are calculated. Generally the purpose of this exercise is to calculate
fees that each EDU must pay.
Hook-up Fee, Tap Fee, Impact Fee,
Availability Charge, Capacity Charge
There are many terms and many and varied definitions of terms in use that are related to fees charged to
connect new customers. For purposes of this model, all charges related to connecting new customers will be
"rolled together" into a tap fee, usually including a charge that buys a new customer system capacity. This
combined charge may be a few hundred dollars for a residential customer, if little or no capacity costs are
included, to many thousands of dollars for a large industrial customer with capacity costs included.
Incremental Rate Increases (Inflationary
Increases)
Rate increases done, generally annually, following the initial rate adjustment. The usual goal of such
increases is to keep the system’s incomes on track to meet reserve targets. Rate structure fairness is a small
issue, if it is an issue at all. Such increases are usually small, in the two to five percent per year range.
Initial Rate Adjustments
Rate adjustments done in follow up to the comprehensive rate analysis. Generally, the goal of such
adjustments is to establish rates that cover the system’s short-term expected costs and do it with a structure
that is fair to ratepayers. Initial adjustments should be followed in subsequent years with incremental rate
increases.
Definitions
31
Definitions
Inflow & Infiltration (I&I)In a sewer system, water that gets into the collection system by way of illicit connections (inflow) such as
gutter downspouts, plus leaks in manholes and sewer lines (infiltration)
Infrastructure
Most commonly thought of as the hard assets, such as buildings, treatment plants and lines needed to
provide service to customers connected to the system. In reality, staff, software and other "soft" assets
should be thought of as infrastructure, as well.
Life-cycle CostThe total cost to design, build, operate, maintain and eventually dispose of an asset. One asset may cost less
to build but it may be more expensive to operate and maintain, yielding a higher total life-cycle cost.
Marginal Costs
The parts of a utility's costs that are unavoidable in the course of serving a particular customer, a group of
customers, more volume to all customers or some other marginal use of the system. Such customer(s) or
extra use could be added at a discounted but still profitable fee, if desired. Generally marginal costs are less
than the average costs but when extra use requires a system upsizing, they can be greater. These costs are
especially useful when considering selling service at wholesale or charging "snow birds" while they are away.
Operating CostsDefinitions and calculations vary. For rate setting purposes operating costs are costs incurred because a
system is operated. Such costs are usually recovered primarily through unit charges.
Operating Reserves or Working CapitalAnalogous to current position, this is the net revenues retained to fund operating costs during times when
costs exceed incomes.
Operating Revenues Revenues collected in the form of user fees and similar operating cost-related fees
Operating Ratio (OR)Current incomes divided by current expenses, not including debt. An OR of 1.0 is "break even." Most
systems should have an OR of 1.25 or higher.
Payback PeriodIn this case, time required for the investment made to get this analysis to return that investment through
increased user and other fees
Potential DemandThe volume of service that a user could demand for a short period of time at full volume use. The potential
demand limiting factor is usually the size of the customer's meter or service line.
Proportional to Use Rates
Rates where the minimum charge recovers all fixed costs, the unit charge recovers all variable costs, the unit
charge is the same for all volume sold, and there is no usage allowance in the minimum charge. This rate
structure is similar to and often the same as cost to serve rates.
Replacement Schedule
A timetable that describes equipment replacement and important repairs that are too infrequent and/or too
expensive to cover as annual operating costs but not so expensive that they need to be covered as capital
improvements.
Replacement Reserves Cash reserves used to fund the Replacement Schedule
Return on InvestmentIn this case, the dollar amount or percentage of revenue gain enabled by this rate analysis. Related to
payback period.
Snow Bird
A customer, usually residential, that goes away during part of the year. Most commonly, people of "means"
who live in the north who "fly south" for the winter. But, this category includes everyone who is absent for a
significant part of the year but returns to their permanent residence.
Test YearThe one year period from which data was gathered to be the basis of the rate analysis, which is usually the
last completed fiscal year. See related "analysis year."
Usage AllowanceThe volume, if any, that is "given away" with the minimum charge. Most systems give away no volume. Those
that give away an unlimited volume have what are called "flat rates" - a minimum charge only.
User Fee, User Charge, User RatesFees assessed to customers for use of the system. Does not include tap, capacity or connection fees, late
payment penalties or other types of charges.
Water Loss
Measured by volume or percent, the part of a water system's net water production that does not reach
customers or is not billed to customers. This loss also includes billable volume lost due to under-registering
customer meters.
Working Capital, Net IncomeThe amount left in the operating fund after paying all costs due during that month, year or other time period.
Working capital of $0 is "break even." Related to "current position."
Working Capital Goal or Operating
Reserves Goal
The desired operating fund reserve, in dollars or percent, at a stated point in time. Small systems (1,000
connections) generally should target 35 percent or greater. Larger systems can target a lower percentage.
The goal for each system should be based upon the needs of that system and the risk the customers are
willing to take.

Return on Investment
The rates depicted in this model will produce various returns on investment or paybacks. Usually the most important payback, at
least to ratepayers, is a rate structure that is demonstrably fair. For the system, however, making sure that revenue will be
adequate to pay all expected, expectable and many unexpectable costs is the the most important return. If revenue will increase
as a result of this analysis, which is almost always the case, one can calculate a dollar and percentage return on investment.
The following calculations show what was invested and what the returns will be over two periods; five years and 10 years. Five
years is a reasonable period for return projections. Ten years is a good basic planning horizon but you should not bank on
amounts or returns projected that far out. Besides, most systems should have their analyses redone long before then.
Consider these key points about return on investment. Higher rates will fund more improvements, better repair and replacement
and more. Most increases in revenue end up being used for such expenses. Thus, few systems end up with a dramatic increase
in their cash reserves but they do markedly improve their financial position. In addition, fairer and higher rates generally enable
systems to qualify for grant and loan funding that they otherwise would not. That increases the importation of "other people's
money," which is a drain on the state and federal funds, where the money comes from, but it is very desirable at the utility level.
The calculation below ignores any "outside" funds the utility may capture.
Also note that rates in this model have been modeled to be adjusted during the year following the test year or even later. That
year is included in the first five-year return on investment calculation. Thus, the first year of returns calculated below include
most or all of one year where rates will not have been changed yet. Thus, the real rate of return will be greater than the
calculation reflects.

Cedaredge, CO; Water Rates Scenario 2017-1 (Model 1)
In the "Analysis Year" column below (heading highlighted blue), revenues will be collected at the now-current rates for the first part of the year and the modeled rates for the last part of the year. The change-over from the current rates to new rates is modeled to happen on the date near the top of Table 10. Thus, the revenues
shown in the last column of that table are "blended" revenues; part collected at the old rates and part collected at the new rates. It was then assumed that all rate adjustments made after the initial (major) adjustment will be done annually on approximately the anniversary of the first adjustment.
The gray highlighted row below shows the rate revenue increase for each year beyond the initial rate adjustment year. Unless stated otherwise, these should be across-the-board increases to all rates and fees and that should continue until a new rate analysis is done.

Notes: The Town plans significant system improvements over the next few years. It is assumed that significant projects in three years will be loan funded. All others will be funded with system reserves. We noted that the Town has many other projects in the
conceptual stage but no timing or cost estimates for those yet, therefore, those projects are not listed.

This schedule calculates the annual annuity (savings deposit) needed to build reserves that will fund all replacement and refurbishment
scheduled in Table 6, the detailed replacement schedule.
Notes: This schedule includes items from the Town's
replacement schedule. A Discretionary Annuity amount was
added so that at the end of the 20-year modeling period, the
balance will approximately equal the average of the annual
replacement cost amounts.

The system would suffer a net revenue loss if it set minimum and unit charges lower than the marginal costs at the right. It would
make a "profit" on a marginal cost basis if it charged more. Capacity costs, however, are a bit different. They can be recovered over
time, as modeled here, or all at once in the case of connection (tap-on) fees or by using a combination of both methods. Using the
cost basis in Table 10, marginal capacity costs may be even higher than modeled here.

Target Percentage and Amount of Capacity Cost to be Recovered by
Capacity Charges
System capacity and connection costs WILL be recovered in one way by default, or a combination of ways by design. That could be through regular user fees, in which
case existing customers pay the costs to bring on new customers. It could be through "tap" or connection fees, in which case new customers pay "up front" for the
capacity they are granted. It could be through on-going demand or capacity surcharges, preferably based upon meter or connection size, in which case each customer
pays for the capacity they are granted over time. Or, it could be some combination of these. This table shows tap and capacity costs to expect. From these costs, tap
fees and capacity demand surcharges were developed in Table 5 and Table 8, respectively.
Cedaredge, CO; Water Rates Scenario 2017-1 (Model 1)
Note: Non-capital costs (like field costs for inspection of connections and administration costs) should be recovered by fees charged for providing the services
involved. These are in addition to high-flow capacity costs.
Note: Costs beyond the third year have been projected and used for fee
calculations, but they are not shown here simply to to save space.

Cedaredge, CO; Water Rates Scenario 2017-1 (Model 1)
In the interest of simplicity, 3/4 inch meters, which are usually residential meters, may have been calculated at the 5/8 inch meter capacity for tap fee calculation purposes.
Projected Tap Fees for One Full Year Following Initial
Adjustment
This table calculates tap fees to charge each meter size and total tap fee revenues that would be generated during one full year following initial
adjustment. This table only covers meter size-based installation fees. Share purchase is not included in this calculation.
Notes:
Because growth rates and meter sizes to be installed in future years cannot be predicted with certainty, tap fee revenues are also uncertain. However, the projections above are
based upon historical growth and meter sizes so they should be reasonable estimates. Generally, tap fees should only be used to pay for capital improvements so there is
usually time to make adjustments in fee levels.
Economy of Scale Discount Rate - Generally the cost of infrastructure to serve a customer does not go up as quickly as their capacity (meter size) goes up. That is called
economy of scale. This value is an estimate of the economy of scale the system enjoys as meter size goes up. Generally this factor should be no more than about 7%.

Affordability Index:
Current Rates First Column, Then Proposed Rates
Affordability Index (AI) goes to the willingness and ability of customers to pay. AI is the percent of AMHI needed by a 5,000 gallon per month residential user to pay their bill. Rates near 1.0% are common in the U.S. and
are generally considered affordable. Federal grant agencies generally will not consider awarding grants if this indicator is less than 2.0%. The above index is only for a 1 share customers but it should be fairly representative
of all residential customers.
Estimated Operating Ratio:
Current Rates First Column, Then Proposed Rates
Operating ratio (OR) goes to the ability of the utility to pay its operating expenses. A 1.0 OR is break even. Below 1.0 indicates operating in the "red." Generally, the OR should be at least 1.15 for large systems, 1.30 or
more for medium systems and perhaps as high as 2.0 for small systems. Note: If the utility has or will have reserves (below,) it has more ability to pay its operating costs than the OR implies.
Coverage Ratio (CR) goes to the ability of the utility to pay its debt payments. OR applies only to years with debt service. 1.0 is break even. Generally, the CR should be at least 1.25. Note: If the utility has or will have
reserves (below,) it has more ability to make debt payments than the CR implies.

Cedaredge, CO; Water Rates Scenario 2017-1 (Model 1)
If your rates are absolutely proportional to use on a volumetric basis, your % of usage and % of revenues figures will be the same within all the classes. That
is not possible if you have any minimum charge and having no minimum charge is almost unheard of.
Normally, the % of usage figure will be lower than the % of revenue for the lower volumes of use. That will switch for the higher volumes of use. Even for
declining rate structures, this switch should occur near the volume of the average residential user, typically near 5,000 gallons/month (668 cu ft).
In urban and suburban areas the average monthly use for residential or general customers can be twice that used by their rural and "old town" counterparts.
Use is largely dependent upon who lives in a community. Older people living in longer established neighborhoods tend to use less volume than younger
people living in more recently developed areas. As you make comparisons between different customers and customer classes, keep that, and the following
in mind:
5101-5001

Residential
Loss: At the modeled (recommended) unit charge rates and usage allowance (if any), over a full year this is the amount of
revenue the utility would fail to collect due to the usage allowance as modeled (if any).

Return on Investment
The rates depicted in this model will produce various returns on investment or paybacks. Usually the most important payback, at
least to ratepayers, is a rate structure that is demonstrably fair. For the system, however, making sure that revenue will be
adequate to pay all expected, expectable and many unexpectable costs is the the most important return. If revenue will increase
as a result of this analysis, which is almost always the case, one can calculate a dollar and percentage return on investment.
The following calculations show what was invested and what the returns will be over two periods; five years and 10 years. Five
years is a reasonable period for return projections. Ten years is a good basic planning horizon but you should not bank on
amounts or returns projected that far out. Besides, most systems should have their analyses redone long before then.
Consider these key points about return on investment. Higher rates will fund more improvements, better repair and replacement
and more. Most increases in revenue end up being used for such expenses. Thus, few systems end up with a dramatic increase
in their cash reserves but they do markedly improve their financial position. In addition, fairer and higher rates generally enable
systems to qualify for grant and loan funding that they otherwise would not. That increases the importation of "other people's
money," which is a drain on the state and federal funds, where the money comes from, but it is very desirable at the utility level.
The calculation below ignores any "outside" funds the utility may capture.
Also note that rates in this model have been modeled to be adjusted during the year following the test year or even later. That
year is included in the first five-year return on investment calculation. Thus, the first year of returns calculated below include
most or all of one year where rates will not have been changed yet. Thus, the real rate of return will be greater than the
calculation reflects.

Cedaredge, CO; Sewer Rates Scenario 2017-2 (Model 2)
In the "Analysis Year" column below (heading highlighted blue), revenues will be collected at the now-current rates for the first part of the year and the modeled rates for the last part of the year. The change-over from the current rates to new rates is modeled to happen on the date near the top of Table 10. Thus, the revenues
shown in the last column of that table are "blended" revenues; part collected at the old rates and part collected at the new rates. It was then assumed that all rate adjustments made after the initial (major) adjustment will be done annually on approximately the anniversary of the first adjustment.
The gray highlighted row below shows the rate revenue increase for each year beyond the initial rate adjustment year. Unless stated otherwise, these should be across-the-board increases to all rates and fees and that should continue until a new rate analysis is done.

This schedule calculates the annual annuity (savings deposit) needed to build reserves that will fund all replacement and refurbishment
scheduled in Table 6, the detailed replacement schedule.
Notes: This schedule includes items from the Town's
replacement schedule. A Discretionary Annuity amount was
added so that at the end of the 20-year modeling period, the
balance will approximately equal the average of the annual
replacement cost amounts.

The system would suffer a net revenue loss if it set minimum and unit charges lower than the marginal costs at the right. It would
make a "profit" on a marginal cost basis if it charged more. Capacity costs, however, are a bit different. They can be recovered over
time, as modeled here, or all at once in the case of connection (tap-on) fees or by using a combination of both methods. Using the
cost basis in Table 10, marginal capacity costs may be even higher than modeled here.

Note 2, Blended Rate Revenues: During the year when rates will be adjusted, rate revenues generated will be "blended" revenues - part collected at the
current rates and part collected at the adjusted rates. The table above calculates both kinds of revenue and totals them in the right-most column. Therefore,
the anticipated timing of rate adjustment shown at the top of this table will cause rates to be charged as follows:
Note 1, New Minimum Charge Base Rates: If meter or connection size-based minimum charges are to be used, and the user classes modeled above include
meter or connection sizes, the amounts shown in this column include meter or connection size surcharges as calculated in Table 13. Otherwise, use the rates
in the "Total Minimum Charge per Billing Period" column of Table 13 when setting minimum charges for each customer when their minimums will be based
upon meter or connection size.

Target Percentage and Amount of Capacity Cost to be Recovered by
Capacity Charges
System capacity and connection costs WILL be recovered in one way by default, or a combination of ways by design. That could be through regular user fees, in which
case existing customers pay the costs to bring on new customers. It could be through "tap" or connection fees, in which case new customers pay "up front" for the
capacity they are granted. It could be through on-going demand or capacity surcharges, preferably based upon meter or connection size, in which case each customer
pays for the capacity they are granted over time. Or, it could be some combination of these. This table shows tap and capacity costs to expect. From these costs, tap
fees and capacity demand surcharges were developed in Table 5 and Table 8, respectively.
Cedaredge, CO; Sewer Rates Scenario 2017-2 (Model 2)
Note: Non-capital costs (like field costs for inspection of connections and administration costs) should be recovered by fees charged for providing the services
involved. These are in addition to high-flow capacity costs.
Note: Costs beyond the third year have been projected and used for fee
calculations, but they are not shown here simply to to save space.

In the interest of simplicity, 3/4 inch meters, which are usually residential meters, may have been calculated at the 5/8 inch meter capacity for tap fee calculation purposes.
Projected Tap Fees for One Full Year Following Initial
Adjustment
This table calculates tap fees to charge each meter size and total tap fee revenues that would be generated during one full year following initial
adjustment. This table only covers meter size-based installation fees. Share purchase is not included in this calculation.
Notes:
Because growth rates and meter sizes to be installed in future years cannot be predicted with certainty, tap fee revenues are also uncertain. However, the projections above are
based upon historical growth and meter sizes so they should be reasonable estimates. Generally, tap fees should only be used to pay for capital improvements so there is
usually time to make adjustments in fee levels.
Economy of Scale Discount Rate - Generally the cost of infrastructure to serve a customer does not go up as quickly as their capacity (meter size) goes up. That is called
economy of scale. This value is an estimate of the economy of scale the system enjoys as meter size goes up. Generally this factor should be no more than about 7%.

Affordability Index:
Current Rates First Column, Then Proposed Rates
Affordability Index (AI) goes to the willingness and ability of customers to pay. AI is the percent of AMHI needed by a 5,000 gallon per month residential user to pay their bill. Rates near 1.0% are common in the U.S. and
are generally considered affordable. Federal grant agencies generally will not consider awarding grants if this indicator is less than 2.0%. The above index is only for a 1 share customers but it should be fairly representative
of all residential customers.
Estimated Operating Ratio:
Current Rates First Column, Then Proposed Rates
Operating ratio (OR) goes to the ability of the utility to pay its operating expenses. A 1.0 OR is break even. Below 1.0 indicates operating in the "red." Generally, the OR should be at least 1.15 for large systems, 1.30 or
more for medium systems and perhaps as high as 2.0 for small systems. Note: If the utility has or will have reserves (below,) it has more ability to pay its operating costs than the OR implies.
Coverage Ratio (CR) goes to the ability of the utility to pay its debt payments. OR applies only to years with debt service. 1.0 is break even. Generally, the CR should be at least 1.25. Note: If the utility has or will have
reserves (below,) it has more ability to make debt payments than the CR implies.

Table 16 - User Statistics
This table shows measures of equitability of the rates as modeled in Table 11.
4,000 Gallons: This is the average residential customer's usage per Monthly billing cycle.
Usage allowance is the volume "given away" with the minimum charge. The higher the allowance, the less volume the utility can sell to generate income.
67,782,000 Gallons: This is the volume metered through customer meters that was available to be sold by the utility during the test year.
1,816,000 Gallons: This is the volume metered through customer meters that was given away as a usage allowance during the test year.
$3,632 Loss: At the unit charge rate in effect during the test year, the utility failed to collect this much revenue due to the usage allowance.

Cedaredge, CO; Sewer Rates Scenario 2017-2 (Model 2)
If your rates are absolutely proportional to use on a volumetric basis, your % of usage and % of revenues figures will be the same within all the classes.
That is not possible if you have any minimum charge and having no minimum charge is almost unheard of.
Normally, the % of usage figure will be lower than the % of revenue for the lower volumes of use. That will switch for the higher volumes of use. Even for
declining rate structures, this switch should occur near the volume of the average residential user, typically near 5,000 gallons/month (668 cu ft).
In urban and suburban areas the average monthly use for residential or general customers can be twice that used by their rural and "old town" counterparts.
Use is largely dependent upon who lives in a community. Older people living in longer established neighborhoods tend to use less volume than younger
people living in more recently developed areas. As you make comparisons between different customers and customer classes, keep that, and the following
in mind:

Loss: At the modeled (recommended) unit charge rates and usage allowance (if any), over a full year this is the amount of
revenue the utility would fail to collect due to the usage allowance as modeled (if any).

Supplement 1 to the Water and Sewer Rate Analysis Report
Town of Cedaredge, Colorado
Prepared June 2, 2017
Carl Brown, President
GettingGreatRates.com, LLC
Purpose of This Supplemental Report
I analyzed the Town’s water and sewer rates and prepared a report of my findings and
recommendations dated May 15, 2017. While doing an in-depth review of the original report,
Intern Greg Brinck discovered and brought to my attention an error in Table 15 of the original
report. I want to thank Mr. Brinck for the close review and discovery. We want our analyses to
reflect reality as closely as we can so it is always great to have another set of sharp eyes doing
review.
Table 15 is a “before and after” rate adjustments comparison of the monthly bills at different
volume levels of use for several example rate classes. In that table, I include before and after
bills for an example out of Town rate class. Those bills erroneously included the in-Town
minimum charge rather than the out of Town minimum charge. That error has been corrected
in the following table, with the corrections highlighted yellow.
While the correction was needed to accurately depict what will happen to out of Town bills,
the actual rates and resulting rate revenues were computed correctly. I also note that this
change does not affect the sewer bill comparisons.
Recommendation
When you use Table 15 to show customers what will happen to their water bills, be sure to
use this corrected table and disregard the original table in the water rates model.
