Water, Sewer, and Surface Water Rates for 2008
ISSUE
Adopt 2008 water, sewer and surface water rate increases.
WATER
Public Works has analyzed the needs of the water enterprise fund. There was a small rate
increase in 2007 yet wholesale water rates from Cascade Water Alliance have increased 9 % for
2008. A 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 B is the
Ordinance needed to incorporate the water rates into the Public Works Fee Schedule Resolution.
SEWER
For sewer rates, King County Ordinance No. 15805 shows no increase of the King County
sewage disposal fees for 2008 and the rates will remain $27.95 per residential customer
equivalent per month. The King County sewage capacity charge (for any new sewer connections)
will increase from the current $42.00 per month for fifteen years to $46.25 per month for fifteen
years for any sewer connection occurring between January 1, 2008, and December 31, 2008.
Exhibit C is the King County Ordinance No. 15805.
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 $8.80 to $10.12 per residential connection and from $15.40 to $17.71 for up to
750 cubic feet or fraction thereof for commercial/industrial customers. Exhibit D-l shows a
comparison of adjoining cities and their water and sewer rates. Exhibit F is the Resolution that
updates the Public Works Fee Schedule.
SURFACE WATER
The Tukwila's surface water base rate is also scheduled for an increase (see Table 3) in
accordance with the rate model. The City's surface water rate will increase from $62.00 to
$71.00 per parcel, per year and will range from $8.85 to $73.96 per 4,356 sq. ft. Exhibit D-2 is
a comparison of other cities and their surface water rates. Exhibit F is the Resolution that updates
the Public Works fee schedule for the City's semi-annual surface water fees.
