INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor Haggerton
From: rublic Works Directs
Date: October 22, 2009
Subject: Water. Sewer and Surface Water Rates for 2010
Adopt 2010 water, sewer and surface water rate increases.
Jim Haggerton, Mayor
Public Works has analyzed the needs of the water enterprise fund. Wholesale water
rates from Cascade Water Alliance are projected to increase 7.5% for 2010 and 5% in
2011. A rate increase on the minimum water meter charge (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 D is the
Resolution that updates the Public Works Fee Schedule.
SEWER
King County Ordinance No. 16554 has no sewer rate increase for the King County
sewage disposal fees in 2010 and the rate will remain $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 $47.64 to $49.07 per month for fifteen
years for any sewer connection occurring between January 1, 2010 and December 31,
2010. Exhibit B is King County Ordinance No. 16554.
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 $11.64 to $13.39 per residential connection and from
$20.37 to $23.43 for up to 750 cubic feet or fraction thereof for commercial /industrial
customers. Exhibit C -1 shows a comparison of adjoining cities and their water and
sewer rates. Exhibit D is the Resolution that updates the Public Works Fee Schedule.
Tukwila's surface water base rate is scheduled for an increase in 2010. The City's
surface water rate will increase from $71.00 to $85.00 per residential parcel, per year
and will range from $10.18 to $85.05 per 4,356 sq. ft. Exhibit C -2 shows a comparison
with other cities and their surface water rates.

22 first year start-up costs after construction on new plants as regulatory assets, and establish
23 a rate stabilization reserve for the purpose of leveling rates between years.
24 C. As required for FAS 71 application amounts are to be placed in the rate
25 stabilization reserve from ((2008 and 2009)) operating revenues and removed from the

II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Water. Sewer and Surface Water Rates for 2010
Staff is seeking full Council approval of a resolution adopting a new Public Works Fee Schedule
which will reflect increased water, sewer and surface water rates for 2010.
Water. In order to maintain current levels of service and lessen the impact of future increases to
purchased water, staff is recommending an increase to the minimum water meter charge from $6.00
to $8.00 for residential customers and for commercial/industrial, from $12.00 $300.00 to $20.00
$360.00, (see draft resolution for specific service charges). Water revenue remains flat due to
conservation and no increases to the flat base rate. Increasing the base rate would be the most logical
cost increase implementation, since consumption levels are not changing. Staff is proposing the base
rate increase for this year. Additionally, Cascade Water Alliance rates are projected to increase 7.5%
in 2010 and 5% in 2011.
Sewer. King County will not be increasing their monthly sewer rates but will be increasing the sewer
capacity charge for new connections. Staff is proposing a 15% increase for residential customers from
$11.64 to $13.39 ($1.75 increase) and an increase from $20.37 to $23.43 for commercial/industrial.
The Sewer Enterprise Fund still remains low.
Surface Water. There was no increase to surface water fees in 2009. Staff is proposing increasing
surface water rates from $71.00 to $85.00 for residential parcels. Even with the increase, Tukwila
surface water rates remain low compared with other cities. Capital projects continue to be limited in
order to keep the ending fund balance stable.
In preparation of the November 5 Council Budget and CIP Workshop, the Committee has requested
staff prepare a draft Attachment E for the Sewer Enterprise Fund with potential rate increases that
would be necessary to keep the accumulated totals at approximate balance of $500,000.
UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO NOVEMEBER 9 COW.
