Council Mayor Adm Svcs DCD Finance Fire Legal P&R n Police PW
The City's water and sewer rates need to be increased to meet operational and capital expenditures
for their corresponding enterprise funds. Single and multi- family summer water rates will increase
from $3.38 per ccf to $3.89 due to an increase in wholesale water rates from Cascade Water
Alliance. The sewer fund's monthly residential flat rate will increase from $10.12 to $11.64 per
residential connection. The sewer ordinance will reflect the increase in the King County's sewer
metro fee from $27.95 to $31.90 per month. The surface water fees will not increase in 2009. All of
the fees are now included in the Public Works Fee Schedule Resolution.

Date: October 22, 2008
Subject: Water, Sewer. and Surface Water Rates for 2009
INFORMATION MEMO
Adopt 2009 water and sewer rate increases. We will continue to review the annual rate model for
the proposed increases for 2010 and present them to Council in October 2009.
WATER
Public Works has analyzed the needs of the water enterprise fund. Wholesale water rates from
Cascade Water Alliance are projected to increase 11.7% for 2009 and 7.3% for 2010. An overall
15 rate increase (see Table 1) is being proposed to maintain the current level of service and
lessen the impact of future cost increases for purchased water. A portion of this increase will
provide the funds necessary for continuing operational and capital needs. Exhibit A is an
overview of all of the Proposed Utility Rate Increases for residential customers. Exhibit E is the
Resolution that updates the Public Works Fee Schedule.
SEWER
For sewer rates, King County Ordinance No. 16135 shows a 14.13 increase of the King
County sewage disposal fees for 2009 from $27.95 to $31.90 per residential customer equivalent
per month. The King County sewage treatment capacity charge (for any new sewer connections)
will increase from the current $46.25 to $47.64 per month for fifteen years for any sewer
connection occurring between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2009. Exhibit B is King
County Ordinance No. 16135. Exhibit C is the proposed City of Tukwila Ordinance that
incorporates the 2009 King County sewer rate increase.
Tukwila's sewer base rate is scheduled for an increase (see Table 2) in accordance with the rate
model which analyzes the City's operational and capital needs. The City's sewer rate will
increase from $10.12 to $11.64 per residential connection and from $17.71 to $20.37 for up to
750 cubic feet or fraction thereof for commercial /industrial customers. Exhibit D -1 shows a
comparison of adjoining cities and their water and sewer rates. Exhibit E is the Resolution that
updates the Public Works Fee Schedule.
SURFACE WATER
Tukwila's surface water base rate is scheduled for an increase in 2010. The City's surface water
rate will stay at $71.00 per residential parcel, per year and will range from $8.85 to $73.96 per
4,356 sq. ft. Exhibits D -2 and D -3 are comparisons with other cities and their surface water
rates.

II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Water and Sewer Rate for 2009
Jim Morrow and Gail Labanara reported on the water, sewer and surface water funds and the
proposed rate increases for 2009. Water revenue remains flat and with the Cascade Water Alliance
increase of 11.7% in 2009, an overall 15% water rate increase is proposed. The CIP's Water
Attachment D now has Cascade Water Alliance shown in Water Revenue and Water Expenditures as
a pass- though cost to the ratepayers (similar to the sewer fund's KC Metro sewer fees). All of the rate
changes are included in Exhibit A. Both water and sewer rates will be adopted by the Public Works
Fee Schedule Resolution.
King County will be increasing their sewer charge 14.13 from $27.95 to $31.90 per month as well
as the sewer capacity charge. The KC sewer metro rate increase will be adopted by the proposed
sewer ordinance. City sewer rates will increase by 15% in 2009. There is no increase in 2009 for the
surface water fees. All three of these enterprise funds are restricting capital projects in order to keep
the ending fund balance stable. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO NOVEMEBER 10
