Key Legislation in California Affecting Water Rates

• Cost of Service

Requirements

› Proposition 218 (Article XIIIC

and XIIID of California

Constitution)

› Proposition 26

› California Government Code

54999

• Water Conservation

› Article X of California

CASE STUDY

City of San Juan Capistrano

5

CTA vs. City of SJC

• Rate payers (Capistrano Taxpayer

Association, CTA) sued the City of San

Juan Capistrano over its water budget

rate structure

• The Orange County Appellate Court

ruled that the rates did not meet the

proportionality requirement in August

2013

Key Factors

• Lack of administrative record (report)

• City used multipliers to justify the tiered

rates without any record of an

underlying cost rationale

San Juan Capistrano Ruling

• There must be a nexus between the cost of providing

service and the rates charged to customers

• This nexus needs to be clearly shown in the

administrative record (report)

• Show your work!

6

What is Cost of Service?

• Different types of customers generate different costs

because their patterns of use or characteristics are

different

• Cost of service allows the matching of rates charged

with the costs of serving each group

• Each group will “pay its own way” – no subsidies

7

Water Systems and Costs

Both water systems shown on the

right have an annual demand of

approximately 10,500 AF per year

Which system costs more to operate,

repair, or replace?

Private Fire Line

Private Fire Methodology

• Determine the appropriate cost of Fire Service, which includes public and

private fire

› Private fire estimate is based on a 4-hour fire at 4,250 gallons/minute

• Fire Service cost is allocated between public and private fire

› Based on number of public fire hydrants and private fire lines

• Private fire service charges include the additional capacity to provide that

service, customer service, and the cost to maintain the fire line meter

Stage Rates

Stage Rates

• Water Shortage Emergency Stage Rates (Stage Rates) are implemented

during water shortage emergencies

› Include service disruptions from drought, water shortage emergencies, or

water supply interruptions from natural disasters

• Require Board adoption & 30-day customer notice prior to

implementation

• Function as a mechanism to maintain revenue stability during the water

emergencies

› Recover the revenue decrease from less water use

34

Stage Rate Stages

• Five Stages are developed in District’s Water Shortage Contingency Plan

• Stages Rates are in addition to the Consumption Charge
