Below are two charts that demonstrate the proposed cost and percentage adjustments for the total water portion of single-family residential utility bills for the next three years. Note these charts reference changes in cost per billing cycle (every 2 months).

A: There are several components to the water rates on current utility bills, including usage- based charges for both Zone 7 Water Agency and Pleasanton, in addition to one fixed meter charge. The proposed rates will include usage-based fees for both Zone 7 Water Agency and the City of Pleasanton, in addition to fixed meter fees for both agencies. When looking at individual components of the proposed rates, some changes are significant. The current Pleasanton distribution rate (listed as "Pleasanton Water Var Charge" on line 2 of current utility bills) does not sufficiently cover the cost of delivering water to our 22,000 customers and maintaining the distribution system. While this rate is changing significantly, it's because we're shifting costs from fixed meter charges (listed as "Pleasanton Fixed Water" Charge on line 1 of current utility bills) which are decreasing significantly. Focusing on only specific components of the proposed rate increase gives an incomplete view and understanding of the overall rate adjustment that was recommended in the water rate study. Page 13
