INTRODUCTION

The FY2020 – FY2024 rate forecast for the City’s Water and Wastewater funds has been completed by City staff. Consultants from Raftelis Financial Consultants (RFC) completed a rate study of the City’s Water and Wastewater services for the FY2016 – FY2020 forecast period. The recommended structure adjustments were adopted by Council starting in FY2016. Recommended rate adjustments have been adopted by Council for FY2016 through FY2019. RFC and staff jointly completed a modification of the City’s Utility Forecasting Model (Model) for the FY2016 Rate Study that staff have updated and used for the current forecast.

BACKGROUND

A number of recommended adjustments to the Water and Wastewater rate structures from the FY2016 Rate Study were adopted and effective beginning in FY2016. Most notably, a change was made in both the Water and Wastewater base fee components that changed how each system’s debt costs were allocated to customers. To improve equity and more realistically reflect a meter’s capacity requirements, the portion of debt costs recovered in the base fee was allocated using equivalent residential units (ERUs) for multi-family accounts rather than simply by meter capacity ratios. The calculation of a multi-family customer’s base charge is now derived based on the number of dwelling units per meter than simply by the meter’s size.

A summary of additional structural revisions are outlined below by fund:

Water

Usage tiers for multi-family customers were reduced from three to one, reflecting the consistent inside usage demands from these customers.

Usage tiers for hydrant accounts were reduced from two to one, reflecting the discretionary nature of this usage.

Wastewater

A larger portion of the system’s debt service costs was allocated to customer base charges to

improve revenue stability.

The winter season averaging period used to establish single-family wastewater monthly usage

levels was modified from three months to four months to reduce volatility caused by seasonal

anomalies.

The wastewater volumetric rate was reduced due to the increased recovery from base charges.

A. Objectives of this Update

With each review and update of the City’s Water and Wastewater rates and charges, staff follow the

following goals:

Page 3: FY2020 Water and Wastewater Rate Update - Peoria, Arizona

City of Peoria FY2020 Utility Rate Report Page 3

Ensure revenues fully recover the utility system costs.

Ensure that rates support each fund’s long-term financial condition.

Ensure that rates and rate forecasts reflect current costs of service and customer usage

patterns.

Ensure equitable recovery of costs from the system’s customers.

Seek to minimize the impact to customers whenever possible.

B. System Overview

At the completion of FY2018, Peoria serviced approximately 57,500 water accounts and 58,500 wastewater accounts. Single family residential customers make up the majority of the customers in both systems. Within the Water system, the City classifies its customers by the general description of the customer’s water meter usage, resulting in the following usage categories: Residential, Multi-Family, Commercial, Landscape and Hydrant. In the case of Wastewater service, customers are classified more generally based on the account’s description. Three categories are used: Single Family Residential, Multi-Family Residential and Commercial.

Peoria’s Water average customers by meter size during FY2018:

Meter Size Residential Multi-Family Commercial Landscape Hydrants Meter Totals 3/4" 41,122 28 163 212 - 41,525 1" 12,680 39 338 600 - 13,657 1 1/2" 6 71 355 353 - 785 2" 3 272 622 474 - 1,371 3" - 15 14 5 101 135 4" - 11 12 4 - 27 6" - 6 5 1 - 12 8" - 2 - - - 2

For purposes of billing system capacity charges, the City further identifies the number of dwelling units within its Multi-Family accounts. When these units are considered, the number of Multi-Family units exceeds 12,000 for each service.

C. Demand Patterns

Staff update the economic forecasting model used in the City’s long-term financial and rate planning every six months with consumption by usage/customer category, along with current meter and customer counts for both the Water and Wastewater systems. The City has experienced modest water consumption growth over the past several years following the recession, but has experienced some recent fluctuations in consumption. Customer growth, however, has not been subject to the same variations following the recession and is expected to continue to grow through the forecast period. The following chart displays the City’s Water consumption and annual account growth from FY2011-2018 and the forecasted change in both series through FY2024:

Based on Peoria’s Water System rate base being comprised of predominantly single-family residential accounts, it’s not surprising that this usage category accounts for most of the system’s potable water demand at approximately 62%. The second largest category of usage is made up from the landscaping and hydrant usage that is over 20% of the system’s demand. Although these two categories of use represent less than 5% of the City’s Water accounts, they have accounted for over 20% of the system’s overall demand growth since FY2014. The growth in Residential demand has represented a percentage that is largely proportional to the number of accounts. Commercial and Multi-Family usage has been relatively stable over this period. The following chart illustrates the make-up of the City’s potable water consumption for FY2018 by usage type:

D. Peoria’s Rate History

The City must balance its financial performance objective with the objective of maintaining affordable Water and Wastewater rates for its customers. To that end, the City has been able to maintain relatively modest rate adjustments over the past seven years for both Water and Wastewater services. The table below provides a history of adopted Water and Wastewater rate adjustments for the period from FY2012-2019.

Fiscal Year Water Wastewater

2012 4.60% 4.50%

2013 0.00% 8.20%

2014 0.00% 0.00%

2015 0.00% 0.00%

2016 2.80% 1.90%

2017 2.60% 2.60%

2018 2.60% 1.80%

2019 2.90% 1.30%

REVENUE REQUIREMENTS

As part of a rate study and this update, staff must determine and forecast each system’s revenue requirements over the forecast period. The revenue requirements will consist of the system’s annual operating costs made up of division operating and maintenance expenses, existing and proposed debt service costs, capital project costs over the forecast period, and projected reserve requirements for each fund according to the City’s Principles of Sound Financial Management.

Staff utilizes the most recent budgeted operational expenses as a starting point in the forecast and escalates these categories based on historical trends and expected changes during the forecast period. Staff seeks to identify any material one-time operating costs that might occur during the forecast period or whether the systems might incur additional ongoing costs during the forecast period as a result of

changes in operations. During the update, staff are also updating the Utilities 10-year Capital Program and including those projects that will require funding during the forecast period. Additional ongoing costs to operate and/or support completed projects during the forecast period are identified and included. Lastly, should a capital project require outside financing to construct, staff identifies the method of borrowing and forecast the additional costs of financing required over the borrowing period.

The Table below represents the annual cost escalation and inflationary factors used to forecast each system’s operational costs over the current FY2019 budget levels during the forecast period of FY2020-FY2024:

O&M Expense Category 2020 2021 2022-2024

Utilities Indirect Charges 1.0% 1.0% 2.0%

Commodities 1.0% 1.0% 2.0%

System Supplies & Equip. 5.0% 5.0% 5.0%

The factor used for Water Acquisition Costs (“Water Acq Costs”) previously included the cost factors for the City’s Central Arizona Project (CAP) costs and was normally much higher than the 1% indicated in the table. With the planned forecast of higher CAP delivery charges, this component was forecasted separately as is discussed below. The remaining items in the Acquisition Costs category are therefore estimated to rise at the smaller rate of inflation.

A. Factors Influencing the System’s Operating Costs

Staff anticipate that both the Water and Wastewater systems will experience annual ongoing increases to the largest expense categories such as salaries and benefits, electricity, repair and maintenance, supplies and equipment and indirect costs that the systems incur from the City’s General Fund and City internal service funds that provide services to the Water and Wastewater funds.

One of the major components of the Water fund’s operating expenses is its costs related to the delivery of raw surface water supplies from both the Salt River Project (SRP) and Central Arizona Project (CAP) systems. The City treats SRP water supplies at its Greenway Water Treatment Plant in the southern part of the City and treats CAP water at the Pyramid Peak Water Treatment Plant operated and owned by the City of Glendale, in which Peoria owns a 23% share. This plant treats and delivers potable water in the northern part of the City.

Page 7: FY2020 Water and Wastewater Rate Update - Peoria, Arizona

City of Peoria FY2020 Utility Rate Report Page 7

Forecasts of the Water system’s operating costs are expected to be significantly influenced by increasing costs from the CAP system. In the near term, the City’s fixed costs of its CAP supply allocation – paid through Capital Charges—will increase by approximately 65% from FY2019 to FY2020, or an additional $700,000. The capital charges are expected to remain relatively flat through the remainder of the forecast period. The larger component of the City’s CAP costs are based on Peoria’s annual water deliveries multiplied by the rates charged for each acre foot of water delivered (known as the M&I Delivery Rates). These rates are influenced by the CAP’s normal costs of operations, but are expected to rise at a higher-than-normal rate during the forecast period due to reduced deliveries by the CAP system as a result of a potential shortage condition faced on the system’s primary delivery reservoir, Lake Mead. The City has included an additional increase of about $350,000 per year over the forecasted rates under normal conditions to account for the potential shortage costs. This results in an approximately $1.4 million increase in annual operating costs by fiscal year 2024.

B. Capital Project Costs

The 10 year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for the Water and Wastewater systems represents approximately $325 million, of which $220 million is planned during the first five years of the program. The City’s CIP for Water and Wastewater includes over 60 projects that address both systems’ need to expand and add facilities and infrastructure to meet demands expected from growth, maintain and repair existing infrastructure, and address regulatory requirements. Operating funds make up the largest share of the total funding requirements at about 60%, followed by financing at 27%. Impact fee sources contribute about 13% of the funding requirements.

The City will complete an expansion of its capacity by an additional 13MGD at the Glendale Pyramid Peak WTP in FY2020. The expansion will serve anticipated growth in the northern areas of the City. The City has included an increased share of the plant’s operating costs that are expected to rise at a faster rate due to increased production requirements in its financial plan.

The City is planning an expansion at its Beardsley WRF serving the north and central areas of the City that are east of the Agua Fria River in FY2020-2023 at an estimated cost of over $25 million. As the plant has a dual purpose of making treated effluent available as a renewal water resource, the Water Fund contributes 25% of the costs of this expansion. The City also plans to expand its Jomax Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) near the end of the 5 year forecast period to have available treatment capacity for this service area at an estimated cost of over $50 million (also shared 25% with the Water Fund). Both WRF expansions will incur additional operating expenses as a result of the increases in capacity.

The City has included over $60 million in its 10 year CIP to address aging infrastructure in the water and

wastewater systems. This includes replacements and upgrades at the treatment facilities as well as

maintenance, repair and replacement in both the collection and distribution systems.

RATE & FINANCIAL FORECASTS

The five-year program of user rates are required to achieve revenue sufficiency for the Water and Wastewater funds and are determined based on a number of factors. These factors included projected customer demand, annual water and wastewater revenue requirements, financial guidelines and metrics established under the City’s Principles of Sound Financial Management, and the City’s annual capital project funding requirements.

Recommended Water and Wastewater Rate Adjustments:

FY2020 FY2021

Est. Water Adjustments 2.75% 2.00%

Est. Wastewater Adjustments 1.50% 1.50%

Combined Adjustment 2.34% 1.84%

Forecasts are revised at least every two years and future rate adjustments are anticipated. The rate adjustments will be determined based on influencing factors such as account growth, consumption patterns, system operating costs, and changes in capital needs.

The recommended rates provide for the policy reserve levels as required in the City’s PoSFMs. The PoSFM’s policy requires enterprise funds to provide the following reserves:

An Operating Reserve equal to 25% of the fund’s operating expenses for the current fiscal year.

An Asset Maintenance Reserve equal to 2% of the fund’s capital assets.

A Debt Stabilization Reserve equal to 50% of the fund’s maximum debt service requirement during the five following years.

A Rate Stabilization Reserve equal to 5% of the fund’s average revenues for the past three years.

Maintaining healthy reserve levels in both funds provides the City with the ability to respond to unanticipated changes in operating or capital costs and/or revenue fluctuations, should they occur. As future capital project requirements are identified in the later years of the forecast period, available funds above the reserve levels will allow the funds to absorb these costs.

Combined Debt Service Coverage Ratio (excl. Impact Fees):

The debt service coverage ratio measures the utility’s performance in generating sufficient operating revenues to cover its annual debt service obligations. This is an important metric evaluated by the City’s bond rating agencies when determining a municipality’s bond rating. Peoria Water and Wastewater System credit is currently rated AA by the major credit rating agencies. The City has adopted a target coverage ratio of 2.0X as part of its PoSFMs for enterprise funds and believes that the target coverage ratio is consistent with an AA-rated municipal utility. The recommended rate adjustments are sufficient to maintain the target coverage ratio.

In the Appendix that follows this report, a summary of each fund’s sources and uses of funds is presented for the forecast period to present the statutorily-required statement of cash flows.

UTILITY RATE COMPARISONS

As provided in the objectives of the review and as one of the City’s primary pricing principles, staff seeks to minimize the impacts of utility rate adjustments to customers whenever possible. With this goal in mind, the City also compares its costs of water and wastewater services to those of other cities in the Valley. Peoria has been able to maintain cost-effective water and wastewater rates when compared to these cities, while delivering quality and reliable utility services to its customers.

The following charts compare the current, proposed FY2020 and FY2021 monthly costs for Peoria’s Water, Wastewater and combined services for an average single family customer that has a 1” water meter and consumes and average of 10,000 gallons monthly with a winter Wastewater average of 8,000 gallons per month. While Peoria’s estimated monthly bills will remain at the forecasted levels below for two fiscal years, other Valley cities are likely to adjust their rates for FY2020 and/or FY2021, which could change the illustrated position of Peoria relative to these communities.
