CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
The Board of Water. . Commissioners has adopted Resolution No.
380 increasing rates charged for fire service and general
water service.
A thorough study was conducted analyzing the cost to provide
water (copy attached) . The study was conducted during the
fall of 1987 and concluded that the cost to provide water
service has increased significantly over the past six years .
The Water Department has experienced increased costs of
pumping from the lower elevation wells and boosting the water
to the higher elevations to meet demand . This is a signifi-
cant change in the method of operation caused by the loss of
25% of our water production capabilities at the higher
elevations and the need to pump the artesian pressure zone to
help reduce the high groundwater problems.
The Water Department has also experienced higher costs for
general liability insurance, rental costs for space in City
Hall , data processing costs, and the cost of labor and
materials.
The last water rate increase was approved in July, 1982 ,
almost six years ago. While growth in the number of custo-
mers offsets some of the cost increases, the revenues from
current water rates are not sufficient to cover the costs of
operating , repairing and maintaining the water system. We
have been funded by the Department of Health Services , Toxics
Division, to install well head treatment for eight wells that
have been out of service due to contamination from TCE/PCE.
While the capital costs have been paid for through grant
funds , the operation and maintenance costs for these systems
is the responsibility of the Water Department. These sys-
tems , while returning sources of water supply to the system
that are necessary to meet demand , will increase the cost to
produce water . It is anticipated that more of the wells in
this water basin will require treatment as the contaminants
spread , further increasing the cost of water .
The Board of Water Commissioners conducted a public hearing
to receive comments on the proposed water rate increase on
February 2 , 1988 and no comments or protests were received .
At their next regular meeting held on February 16 , 1988, the
Board of Water Commissioners adopted Resolution No. 380
approving the revised fire service and general water service
rates.

INTRODUCTION
The San Bernardino Municipal Water Department has provided quality
water service to its customers , assuring the City of an ample
supply of potable water at reasonable prices , since 1904. The
Water Department ' s source of revenue has been the customers '
payment for actual water usage . The cost of this usage is estab-
lished through approved water rates . The Department does not
derive any of its : revenue from the general or special tax base .
Water rate revenues are used for the following purposes :
1 . To meet operating expenses , including employee wage rates
and fringe benefits .
2 . To fund the acquisition of equipment or capital items ie:
reservoirs , transmission lines, construction equipment,
wells and aeration equipment .
3 . To obtain funds for capital projects that are necessary
to maintain service within the existing service area.
4 . To maintain intra-city transfer of 10% of all water sales
revenues as authorized by the Charter of the City of San
Bernardino.
In order to maintain a quality water system, including the develop-
ment of additional sources of supply; storage capacity to meet
demand ; and maintenance of the entire system, the water rate must
be adjusted periodically to produce sufficient revenue to offset
costs .
The current water rates were approved on June 29, 1982 and became
effective July 29 , 1982 . Since that time, there has not been an
increase in the water rates to offset continually increasing costs
experienced in maintaining , operating and repairing the water
system. Additionally , increased costs of operation have not
allowed sufficient funds to be set aside and be accrued for
required capital improvements .
A review of the June 30 , 1987 audit report was conducted in order
to determine if sufficient revenue is available to meet costs
anticipated in the current fiscal year .
s_
Additional information was gathered concerning growth in the number
of customers served and required capital expenditures to meet
current water demand . The results of this review, a survey of
surrounding water agencies ' rates and the recommendations for rate
adjustments are included in this report .
The Water Department had 32 ,082 active services in June, 1982 .
There are currently 35 ,240 active services in the water system, a
9 . 84% increase over the 1982 level . Corresponding to the increase
in the number of services , water sales have increased 31% during
the same period , while revenue has increased 19% . Revenues in-
creased at a lower rate due to the sale of water at reduced cost to
other agencies to help alleviate the high groundwater condition in
the Bunker Hill Basin .
The increase in the number of services connected to the water
system has meant increased demand on existing wells , transmission ,
and storage facilities and incremental increases in the cost of
operations .
Prior to the last rate increase in July, 1982 , and through fiscal
year 1983/84 , insurance rates rose approximately 2% per annum,
however , since 1984 , they have risen 500% . It is hopeful the
insurance rates have now stabilized . The increase can be
attributed wholly to our potential liability due to public
exposure , not to any claims made against the Department. All areas
in governmental agencies are experiencing a tremendous rise in
rates . Management has examined various options of insurance
coverage and they are confident our current method of coverage is
both the most economical and reliable of the options currently
available.
In 1984 , the organic contamination commonly known as TCE/PCE
started to show up in water produced from some of the upper eleva-
tion wells . From that period of time to the present , we have had
to take twelve (12) wells out of service as the contamination moved
down stream. Thus , in loosing approximately 35% of our total
production it has forced the department to reactivate and
rehabilitate less efficient wells in the the lower elevations in
order to boost water to the higher elevations .
Since the loss of wells in 1984 , there has been a substantial
increase in expenses in the areas of materials , supplies , and
outside services . For the most part, this increase can be
attributed to the rehabilitation of out of service wells. As a
result of the drastic loss of production it became necessary to
utilize the remaining wells on a 24 hours basis, requiring the
addition of around the clock personnel to monitor production .
Electrical costs rose approximately 112% as a result of boosting
water to upper elevations and it can be expected to remain at the
high level as long as boosting is required .
-2-
i
In addition to the rehabilitation , a new well was drilled in the
Devils Canyon area.
As a result of the TCE/PCE contamination problem, in December , 1984
a portable pilot air stripping tower was installed . The unit is
being used to determine the actual design criteria needed to
construct the full-scale TCE/PCE stripping towers , which will be
capable of removing the contaminants to a non-detectable level .
The stripping towers , which were approved by the Air Quality
Management District , will be a major factor in the prevention of
the contaminated water moving downstream resulting in further loss
of wells in the lower elevations . The towers are expected to be
operational in April of 1988 . The stripping towers are being
funded through a grant from the State of California Department of
Health Services-Toxic Substances Control Division at a cost of
$1 , 833 , 848. It is anticipated the electrical costs associated with
the operation of the towers will be offset by the reduction of
electrical costs involved in boosting from lower elevation wells to
the intermediate and upper level pressure zones .

ANALYSIS
Schedule 1 shows Water Fund Revenue and Expenditures for three
years and projections for two years . Revenue for fiscal year
1987/88 is based on seven months at the existing rate and five
months at the new rate and 1988/89 is based on the proposed new
rate.
Based on the current rate structure , an estimated revenue shortfall
of $1 .5 million is anticipated in the current Fiscal Year . Without
adjustment to the water rates , shortfalls in revenue exist which do
not allow for reserves to be set aside for required capital re-
placements and improvements .
To insure the consumer that water rates are equitable for each
category of user , it was necessary to analyze the different cat-
egory of users . In the analysis it became apparent that multiple
family dwelling units served by master meters were being subsidized
by single family dwelling units . Average monthly billings per unit
of multiple family complexes were on the average 35% of a single
family dwelling unit, while consumption was 42% of a single family
unit.
Based on the analvsis a rate structure is proposed for all multiple
family dwellings , which is based on a per unit rate with a water
usage allowance of 200 cubic feet per month per unit. Based on
computations with the proposed rates , a multiple family per unit
average billing would be approximately 43% of a single family unit
and is in line with the 42% consumption rate.
A water rate survey was conducted of the water agencies in the
surrounding area . The full results of the survey are shown in the
Appendix of this report. In order to make a meaningful comparison
of the cost of water service to the residential customer , certain
assumptions were made . These assumptions are as follows:
Billing Period . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .30 days
Meter Size. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5/8" x 3/4"
*Water Usage . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2200 Cubic Feet
*Based upon average residential water usage in San Bernardino
-5-
Listed below, in order of cost to the residential customer , are the
results of applying the assumption to the various agencies ' current
water rates .
Existing Rates
1 . Running Springs Water District . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $36 .20

*13 . City of San Bernardino . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9 .29
* Based on current water rate .
** Based on proposed water rate.
The results of the survey show that the City of San Bernardino; at
the current rate, is 73 .30% lower than the mean of $16 .10 and at
the proposed rate , is $28.9% lower than the mean .
In addition to domestic water service rates, the rate schedule for
Fire Services has not been adjusted since July 29, 1982 . Fire
service connections assist in fire suppression for large commercial
buildings , and usually result in a lower fire insurance premium for
the customer .

RECOMMENDATIONS
Based upon the analysis of the financial statements of the Water
Department and anticipated expenditure levels for the current
fiscal year , it is recommended that the water rates established
under Pule and Regulation No. 21 be increased . The proposed water
rates are shown on Exhibit 1 .
The new schedule will:
Maintain the monthly allowance included in the minimum charge
at 500 cubic feet for single family dwelling units and the
first unit of a multiple family dwelling .
Establish a minimum monthly charge per unit for multiple
family dwelling units which includes a 200 cubic foot usage
allowance per unit after the 1st unit.
Establish commercial and industrial rate based on meter size
and usage.
Maintain current rate structure for Delmann Heights users .
Increase the minimum monthly rate for each meter size and
increase the usage charge from $ .37 per one hundred cubic feet
of water usage to $ . 47 , a $ .10 increase .
Establish a municipal usage rate of $ .188 per one hundred
cubic feet of water usage .
It is further recommended that Fire Service rates established under
Rule and Regulation No. 14 , Section (b) be increased . This revised
rate schedule is shown on Exhibit 2 . This schedule reflects an
increase of $ . 50 per inch per month.
Multiple factors contribute to the recommended rate increase ,
however , the largest factors are the drastic increases in insurance
rates and the loss of wells , both of which are a necessity to
maintain our high standard of water quality.
