REPORT-IN-BRIEF: The Board of County Commissioners conducted a public hearing on April 13, 2021 to permit the public to testify concerning the proposed modification of water and sewer rates. The Public comment period was held open for 7 days following the hearing. DISCUSSION: Water and Sewer revenue requirements show that an increase in water and sewer revenue is necessary to facilitate the Department of Water Quality's long-range financial plans. The presented rate schedule for FY 2022 is based on this requirement. Using an average of 12,000 gallons per quarter, each 3.5% rate increase would cost the user approximately $6 more per quarter. Currently, expenditures exceed revenues in both the Water and Sewer funds. Incremental increases over a period of time has been the existing plan in place to work toward a self-supported status for these funds. FISCAL IMPACT: Rate changes project additional revenue over FY21 budget of $26,000 for Water and $331,000 for Sewer.
