Pursuant to Indiana Code § 8-1.5-3-8.3(c), Petitioner, the City of Fort Wayne, Indiana

("Fort Wayne"), by counsel, respectfully petitions the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission

("Commission") for approval of the rate and charge difference for both sewer and water service

between property within and property outside the corporate boundaries of the City of Fort

Wayne, Indiana. In support of its Petition, Petitioner states:

1. The ordinances setting rates and charges for property within and property outside

the municipality's corporate boundaries (the "Ordinances") were adopted on May 26, 2009,

November 22, 2005, and February 21,2012.

2. Attached as Exhibit A is a copy of the City's existing sewer rate ordinance.

3. Attached as Exhibit B is the City's water rate ordinance currently in effect, and

the attached Exhibit C is the water rate ordinance adopted by Fort Wayne's City Council on

February 21,2012. Both water ordinances contain the same rate differential between properties

within and properties outside Fort Wayne's municipal boundaries.

4. The works that is the subject of the Ordinances is a:

a. Water utility works

b. Wastewater utility works

c. Both water and wastewater utility works x

5. The percentage difference between the rates and charges imposed on users of the

works for service to property located outside the corporate boundaries of the municipality and to

property located within the corporate boundaries is 25% for sewer service and between 15% and

25% for water service.

6. Fort Wayne's sewer ordinance (i.e. Exhibit A) contains certain capital surcharges

that are imposed on users of the works both inside and outside the municipal boundaries. Such

surcharges are specifically to pay for the costs associated with main extensions to the respective

users of the works and are therefore not to be considered by the Commission (See, e.g., Ind.

Code § 8-1.5-3-8.3(h)(2).

7. A chart illustrating the various consumption levels in 1,000 gallon increments

with the corresponding percent surcharge in water rates is attached as Exhibit D.

8. Fort Wayne considers Ind. Code § 8-1.5-3-8.3(c), among other statutes, to be

kind to be served upon Fort Wayne in this Cause should be served on Fort Wayne's counsel of

record as here noted:

STRENGTH-OF-WASTE SURCHARGE

(A) Each user discharging wastes into the collection system shall be subject to

a strength-of-wastes surcharge, in addition to other sewage service charges imposed

by this chapter, based on the following minimum strength characteristics to the extent

that such wastes are in concentrations greater than:

(1 )

(2)

(3)

(4)

Biochemical oxygen demand of 300 milligrams per liter.

Chemical oxygen demand of 600 milligrams per liter.

Suspended solids content of 300 milligrams per liter.

Phosphorus content of 10 milligrams per liter.

(5) Ammonia content of 25 milligrams per liter~

(B) The surcharge shall be determined as follows: The excess pounds of BOD or

COD (whichever results in the higher charge) suspended solids, phosphorus and

ammonia will each be computed by first multiplying the user's billing sewage volume

measured in units of 100 cubic feet for the current billing period by the factor 0.0062321

and then multiplying this product by the difference between, (a) the concentrations

measured in milligrams per liter, of the BOD (or COD), suspended solids, phosphorus

and ammonia respectively in the user's sewage, and (b) the allowed concentrations set

out in 51.076. The surcharge for each constituent will then be determined by multiplying

the excess pounds of each constituent by the appropriate rate of surcharge. In the event

adequate or should be changed, and to request legislative enactment of said changes

by the Common Council. The methodology used in developing this cost comparison

'shall include:

(A) A system including the distribution of the cost of operation and

maintenance ofthe treatment works of the WPC utility to each user class in proportion

to such user's contribution to the total waste loading of the treatment works. Factors

ser class shall be deemed sufficient if said charges have generated during the prior

perating period sufficient revenue to offset the cost of all treatment works operation
