City of Pleasanton <br />Sewer Rate Technical Memo <br /> <br />Water Resources Economics <br />Page 3 <br /> <br />• Residential: alignment of Condo and Multi-Family rates into a single rate category <br />• Commercial/Industrial: implementation of a single uniform collection rate across all Commercial <br />classifications <br />• Institutional: continued differentiation of School rates based on Submetered and Not Submetered <br />customers <br /> <br />These changes simplify the sewer rate structure while maintaining appropriate distinctions, which were justified <br />by differences in usage/wastewater flow characteristics. <br /> <br />RUBY HILL DISCOUNT CONSIDERATIONS <br /> <br />Currently, customers in the Ruby Hill area receive a 10% discount on both City of Pleasanton collection charges <br />and City of Livermore sewer charges. The discount represents a policy decision rather than a cost-of-service- <br />based adjustment. If the City elects to continue providing this discount, it will result in an ongoing impact to the <br />City’s General Fund of approximately $31,000 annually beginning in FY 2027. As part of the rate adoption process, <br />the City may consider whether to continue, modify, or eliminate this discount. <br /> <br />PROPOSED SEWER RATES <br /> <br />The proposed sewer rates are designed to generate the revenue required under the financial plan while reflecting <br />the updated cost-of-service allocation and proposed modifications to the sewer rate structure. The rates have <br />been developed to ensure that the sewer enterprise remains financially sustainable over the study period. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />CUSTOMER IMPACTS <br /> <br />Proposed Sewer Rates Current FY 2027 FY 2028 FY 2029 FY 2030 <br />Bi-Monthly Fixed Residential Charges <br />Single Family $31.70 $57.03 $62.74 $69.02 $75.93 <br />Single Family w/ 2nd Residence $48.28 $96.53 $106.19 $116.81 $128.50 <br />Condo $21.77 $39.51 $43.47 $47.82 $52.61 <br />Multi-Family $16.58 $39.51 $43.47 $47.82 $52.61 <br />Proposed Sewer Rates Current FY 2027 FY 2028 FY 2029 FY 2030 <br />Commercial/Industrial Variable Charges ($/ccf) <br />All Commercial/Industrial Customers $4.08 $4.49 $4.94 $5.44 <br />Minimum Charge $16.58 $39.51 $43.47 $47.82 $52.61 <br />Commercial (Current Classifications) <br />Auto Steam Cleaning $1.79 $4.08 $4.49 $4.94 $5.44 <br />Bakery $1.78 $4.08 $4.49 $4.94 $5.44 <br />Laundry $1.79 $4.08 $4.49 $4.94 $5.44 <br />Grocery with Disposal $1.71 $4.08 $4.49 $4.94 $5.44 <br />Mortuary $2.09 $4.08 $4.49 $4.94 $5.44 <br />Restaurant, Fast Food $1.67 $4.08 $4.49 $4.94 $5.44 <br />Restaurant, Full Service $1.67 $4.08 $4.49 $4.94 $5.44 <br />All Other $1.51 $4.08 $4.49 $4.94 $5.44 <br />Institutional Variable Charges ($/ccf) <br />Schools, Submetered $1.46 $2.03 $2.24 $2.47 $2.72 <br />Schools, Not Submetered $0.95 $0.88 $0.97 $1.07 $1.18 <br />Page 355 of 617
