T H E C I T Y O F Agenda Bill No. �5 — Referred To: C A R L S B A D, C A L I FO R N I A Date: June 7, 1972 Subject: - Submitted By: A rec-ommended change to commercial sewer •se -,se -ice rates and an accompanying concurrent change to the Method Public Works Dir. of promulgating all sewer service rates. - Statement of the Matter 1. Current commercial sewer service rates, for industries whose primaey commodity is water, do not generate revenues which reflect their relative use of the Encina Water Pollution Control Facility. An increase from 60100 cu. ft. of water used to 18a/100 cu. ft. is Necessary to derive sufficient income to support industry allocated expenses. 2. The rate changes recommended result from operating and capital costs increases related tb Phase If expansion of the Encina Facility. This expansion, part of a five-year plan, is partially funded by an 80% grant from the State Water Resources Control Board under a Clean Water Projects program. For the City of Carlsbad to continue to qualify for the 80% grant, two conditions must be met: a) Each user should pay in accordance with demand imposed -on system, -b)' Industrial waste dischargers should contribute revenues to pay their share of expenses, allocated on a relative use basis. The recommended increase fulfills these requirements. 3-. Sewer service rates will require frequent review and updating as the costs of operation and facility expansion continue to rise. A change in method of promulgating these rates is recommended, At present, rates are stated in the Ca r'l sbad Mur.'i c i pa 1 Code, Section 13.12.020. To facilitate Council action on rate changes, it is recommended rates be promulgated by resolution hereafter. Exhibit 1. Ordinance No. to amend Section 13.12.020, Carlsbad Municipal Code. 2. Resolution No.lfvto promulgate Sewer Service Charges. Staff Recommendations 1. Adopt Ordinance No. 2. Adopt Resolution No. c.'e21"d �0--- Getting sewer service charges. 4�( r � r � AB'•110•. Date: City Manager's Recommendation .Concur with staff recommendation. Ordinarily this office Mould suggest a study group to revie►t such a change. However, if -vie are to continue to qualify for 80% dlean water grants, we must revise the industrial charge periodically to keep it on an actual cost basis. Therefore, there is Kittle that a, study group could do to explore alternatives or recom=. mend•changes.
