SUBJECT: Sewer Service Charges
We are recommending to the Sanitation Di strict Board of Directors that the
attached sewer service charges be adopted by the various deparfment-operated
sanitation districts. It may also be feasible for you to adopt a similar
ordinance to meet the requirements of the State \.later Resources Control Board.
As you are aware, we recently completed a Five-Year Revenue Program for the
State \kiter Resources Control Board which is a requirement for wastewater
agencies receiving 80% grants for the construction of Clean Water Projects.
Carlsbad is the recipient of such a grant since it participated in the en-
largement of the Encina Water Pollution Control Facility.
Year Revenue Program it is evident that industry was not paying its share of
capital and operating expenses. Two of the main requirements of the State
guidelines are:
From the Five-
1. Each user should pay in accordance with demands imposed on the system.
2. Industrial waste dischargers should contribute revenue to pay their share
of expenses, allocated on a relative-use basis.
given to industry for economies of scale.)
(No credit should be
To meet the new state requirements and to receive grant monies, we will have
to charge industries on the same basis as residences. For example, if an
industry discharges twice the wastewater quantities of a residence, the in-
dustry would then pay twice the sewer service charge of a residence. The
industry would also pay for other than normal strength sewage because of extra
demands imposed on the system. If the acceptable strength factor for residences
is 300 mg/l suspended solids and the industry's suspended solids is 600 mg/l,
the industry would then pay, on this basis, twice the charge of a residence.
Refer to item "h" of the ordinance which states:
"For industrial establishments and other businesses and establishments
that have unusual characteristics insofar as sewage is concerned, the
rate shall be established in each case by the Engineer subject to approval
by the Board of Directors.''

REVENUE PROGRAM GUIDELINES
FOR WASTENATER AGENCIES
p.
GRANTS FOR CLEM WATER
STATE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD
After extensive hearing on the concept, the State Water Resources
Control Board 03 July 15 adopted regulations which require that
wastewater agencies (cities, sanitation districts, etc,) receiving
80% grants for construction of Clean Water projects implement a
sound and equitable revenue program. Guidelines developed with the aid of experts outlining acceptable revenue program practices
were subsequently adopted by the Board on August 5, 1971.
The main thrust &d purpose of the program is to achieve the following goals:
@3Each user should pay in accordance with the demands inposed on the system,
@Industrial waste dischargers should contribute revenue equal to their share of c;lcenses, allocated on a relative use basis,
@The revenue pragram should aim for local self- .
sufficiency and assure permanent benefits from the Clean Water Grant Program.
Key principals contained in the guidelines are:
@Revenues should meet expenses,
@The functional value of the wastewater system -
should not be allowed to deteriorate.
@Cost allocations should be on the basis of
relative use of the system both in terms of volume of sewage and strzngth of sewage,
CBelndustry should pay its fair share of allocated
costs,
@Accounting system should clearly delineate
opernting expenses, capital expenses and utility
plant depreciation and be bxoken down in . appropri.atc detail (the Uniform System of
Accounts for 1last.c Disposal Districts required
to be used by virtually all California specizl
c'fi st:-icts cnc_ac~cd in wastewater or solid waste

water aqcncics).

@No credit should be given to industry for
economies of scale nor should industrial costs
be determined by incremental cost allocation. I
@ Wastewater agencies whose only source of revenue
is ad valorem taxation are generally not.equitably collecting revenue.

is especially true for heavy wet industries

Q Establishment of a Wastewater Capital Improvement
Fund to facilitate continued investment in waste- water treatment facilities .
Reporting p-rocedures require applicants to forecast and analyze revenue and expenses over a five-year period and submit a summary statement for three of the five years for review. The statement highlights three basic requirements:
@That total annual revenue equals or exceeds
operating and capital cxpcns.e.
@That revenue for capital expenditures, 'excluding interest, equals or exceeds the annual depreciation of the total capital plant.
CTkzC, insustrial useis pay 3,ccordhng to their
estimated proportional use of the facilities,
Supporting material also required includes information on general system design and present flow characteristics; industrial waste- water loading characteristics; summarized by major group of
Division D, Standard Industrial Classification; basis of use ar.d cost allocation; summary of proposed rates and charges to be adopted; estimate of revenues by class: and other special information that may,bc requested by the State Board staff.
In summary, sound revenue programs are fundamental and essential to achieving and maintaining clean water. It would be shzer folly Ff California did not take maximum advantage of the opportunity made available by the massive infusion of grants now being made to
implement concurrently sound and business-like revenue programs,
the very foundation of a truly permanent clean water program.

.- City Manaqer 's Recornmenda tion
.Concur wi t.h staff recommendation. Ordinarily this office would suggest . a study group to reviecll such a change. However, if.we are to continue
to qualify for 80% clean water grants, we must revise the industrial chargee peri.odically to keep it on an actual cost basis. Therefore, there is little that a study group could do to explqre alternatives or recom- mend changes. Those councilmen who a.ttended the J.A.C. meeting will
recall this matter has been under discussion for several in0nth.s.
..
Co un ci 2 A c t i on -.
The matter was deferred to the June 20, 1972 meeting and the ,
City Engineer was instructed to notify all businesses where
water is one of the primary commodities prior to June 20.

By motion of the Council it was agreeh thit Res. #2025 not be

a1ternat.e method for presenting charges to those users that
City is trying to charge properly in the resolution..
