Date: October 12, 2010
Subject: Water. Sewer. and Surface Water Rates for 2011
ISSUE
Adopt 2011 water, sewer, and surface water rate increases.
WATER
Public Works has analyzed the needs of the water enterprise fund. Cascade Water
Alliance's (CWA) wholesale water rates are projected to increase 5.8% for 2011 and
15.6% in 2012. 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
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 C -1 shows a
comparison of adjoining cities and their water rates. Exhibit D is the Resolution which
updates the Public Works Fee Schedule.
In addition we are presenting an updated Water and Sewer Ordinance that will include
some additional fees in the Public Works Fee Schedule. The monthly fire protection
service charges and fire hydrant fees will also be increased in 2011.
SEWER
King County Ordinance No. 16858 has a 13.17% sewer rate increase for the King
County sewage disposal fees in 2011. The rate will increase from $31.90 to $36.10 per
residential customer equivalent per month. The King County sewage treatment capacity
charge (for any new sewer connections) will increase from the current $49.07 to $50.45
per month for fifteen years for any sewer connection occurring between January 1, 2011
and December 31, 2011. Exhibit B is King County Ordinance No. 16858.
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 $13.39 to $16.06 per residential connection and from
$23.43 to $28.12 for up to 750 cubic feet or fraction thereof for commercial /industrial
customers. Exhibit C -1 shows a comparison of adjoining cities and their sewer rates.
SURFACE WATER
Tukwila's surface water base rate is scheduled for an increase in 2011. The City's
surface water rate will increase from $85.00 to $93.00 per residential parcel, per year

20 B. The King County council approves the application of Statement of Financial
21 Accounting Standards No. 71 (FAS 71) to treat pollution remediation obligations and the
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.

I. PRESENTATIONS
No presentations.
II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Cascade Water Alliance Update
As an information only item, staff informed the Committee of the 2011 budget update from the Cascade
Water Alliance. Monthly commodity charges will increase from 6% to 12 This fluctuation was due to
Bellevue being double- charged for water that flowed through the Bellevue pipeline into Issaquah and
Sammamish Plateau. This adjustment for Bellevue then caused the entire rate model for the 8 cities to be
recalculated and a one -time adjustment to all members for 2011 INFORMATION ONLY.
B. Water and Sewer Ordinances
Staff is seeking Council approval of two ordinances updating the water and sewer chapter of the Tukwila
Municipal Code (TMC)
The chapter has not been completely updated in some time and staff wanted the fees to be included in the
Public Works Fee Schedule Resolution (see below). Committee reviewed all of the underlined changes
with discussion. Regulation changes included updated backflow assembly requirements (14.06 03) and
unlawful discharge of prohibited foreign substances into the public sewer (14 12.250)
There are three new fees for unauthorized water usage, special meter reads, and an administrative fee for
changing the name /address on a utility bill. Interest will now be charged on delinquent utility accounts
rather than a flat fee. Staff originally proposed changing Section 14.17 regarding sewer connection
charges, but after review by the City Attorney, those sections will not be changed and will not be
forwarded to the COW. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO NOVEMBER 8 COW FOR
DISCUSSION.
C. Water. Sewer. and Surface Water Rate Increases for 2011
Staff is seeking Council approval of a resolution adopting a new Public Works Fee Schedule which will
reflect increased water, sewer, and surface water rates for 2011. Committee Member Ekberg suggested
that the Resolution also include the old fees.
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 $8 00 to
$10.00 for residential customers and for commercial /industrial, from $20.00 $360 00 to $30 00
$480 00 (see draft resolution for specific service charges). Water revenue remains flat due to the
economic downturn and summer consumption was down due to the weather Increasing the base rate
would be the most logical cost increase implementation since consumption levels are not changing.
Additionally, Cascade Water Alliance rates are projected to increase 5.8% in 2011 and 15.6% in 2012
Water service charges and fire protection services also have proposed increases.

Sewer. King County will be increasing their monthly sewer rate 13.17 from $31.90 to $36.10 per
month and will be increasing the sewer capacity charge for new sewer connections. Staff is proposing a
20% increase for City sewer fees with residential customers increasing from $13 39 to $16.06 and
commercial /industrial increasing from $23.43 to $28.12. The Sewer Enterprise Fund still remains low
with the impact of the interfund utility tax and the working capital reserve fund. However, with the rate
comparison with adjoining cities, Tukwila remains in the middle of the range.
SurfaceWater. Staff is proposing a 10% increase to surface water fees in 2011. Surface Water fees would
increase from $85.00 to $93.00 per year for residential parcels. Commercial /industrial properties would
increase from $101 80 $850.50 to $111.98 to $935 55. Even with the increase, Tukwila surface water
rates remain low compared with other cities. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO
NOVEMBER 8 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
