PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
Public Works engaged AE2S Nexus to conduct a cost of service rate study to review and recommend appropriate water and wastewater user rates, the resale rate for the County Water District of Billings Heights, and wholesale rates for Lockwood Water and Sewer District, Phillips 66 Billings Refinery, and Exxon Mobil Refinery, as well as calculate the System Development Fees (SDFs) for water and wastewater. Staff will present the result and recommendations for rate changes for fiscal years 2020 and 2021.
RECOMMENDATION
No action is needed by City Council at this time. However, Council action will be required at a May Council Business Meeting in which Council will be asked to approve rate increases for fiscal years 2020 and 2021.
