Stats. It applied to the commission on February 22, 1980, pursuant to ss. 196.03, 196.20 and 196.37, Wis. Stats., for authority to increase water rates on an interim and permanent basis. Applicant requested an immediate interim rate increase of 6 cents per 100 cubic feet for all consumption in excess of 800 cubic feet per quarter, or approximately $156,000 in annaal revenue. Application for interim rate relief was granted by order dated May 20, 1980 in this docket as a 12.8% surcharge:to existing rates for service estimated $192,b70. Such surcharge increased annual revenue by an Applicant requested for purposes of final rates in this proceeding, an increase to enable payment of increased operating expenses and to allow sufficient income to earn a 7.5� rate of return on the water utility net investment rate base. Application granted in part. Authorized rates will provide a 6.0°� return on applicant's rate base. , ! �/ Authorized rates will increase annual revenues from water public utility service by an estimated $67,463, over the interim,revenue level, all of which will be from general service ;� c charges. Pursuant to due notice, hearing was held at Madison on November 24, 1984, before Examiner James Wolter. Appearances: City of Oshkosh, applicant, by William D. Frueh, City Manager Edward A. Nokes, City Comptroller Of the commission staff: Daniel $oyle ' Accounts and Finance Division David Walton Scot Cullen Utility Rates Division Findings of Fact THE COMMISSION FINDS: Prior to the interim increase authorized in this proceeding by the commission's order dated May 20, 1980 applicant's water service rates were last revised in 1978, at which time the gross plant investment was $11,355,986. The utility`s gross plant investment estimated for the 198I test year is $12,805,759. -2- Applicant's principal existing rates are summarized as follows: Surcharge - - - Sur-1 A 12.8°� surcharge shall be applied to all bills for water utility service including fire protection charges. Public Fire Protection Service --- F-1 Approximate present annual charge including surcharge $306,100. Public Service - - - Mpa-1 A charge of 31C per 100 cubic feet will be made to the municipality for intermittent service.

Depreciation Taxes and tax equiv. Total oper. expenses Oper. income (or Ioss) Rate of return Revenue at interim rates $1,728,185 s�.,o�3,332 180,700 200,542 ,$1,394,574 $ 333,611 5.0% Authorized increase $ 67,463 $ 100 $ 100 After rate increase $1,795,648 $1,013,332 180,700 200.,642 $1,394,674 $ 400,974 Applicant's existing rates are unreasonable and unjust because of inadequacy. Applicant's capital employed in providing public utility service is estimated to be 61.73% municipal equity and 38.27% long-term debt. The composite cost of debt capital is 4.91%. A return on rate base 6.0% will provide a return on municipal equity of 6.67°� and a 3.2 times interest coverage. The rate of return of 6.0% applied to net investment rate base to determine revenue requirement for purposes of this proceeding is reasonable and just. -5- 6.0� � Applicant requested that the commission determine a reasonable rate structure. Applicant was provided with staff's initially proposed rates for review transmitted by letter dated October 27, 1980. Applicant responded with a letter dated November 14, 1980, in which it requested revisions to the general-- service volume biock rates which were proposed by siaff Lo maintain a specific numerical difference between the highest and lowest block rates. Staff analqzed applicant's requested rate changes and testified that they would result in revenues over $17,000 in excess of the recommended revenue requirement ared, in addition, would result in unreasonably high percentage bill increases to large volume customers. In a revised exhibit, submitted at the hearing as exhibit No. 4 in this proceeding, staff proposed revised volume block rates that moved partially in the direction of those recommended by applicant. Such rates would move closer to the results of staff's cost-of-service analysis than those initially proposed but would maintain a more acceptable degree of continuity with existing rates. Applicant submitted in its testimonq its requested rates and reasons therefore, but acknowledged acceptance of staff's revised rates. � P.,�-,..: �. �� 4� I � � The commission staff submitted for the record an analysis of the cost of supplying water for general service and for public fire protection service. The staff used the base-extra capacity-cost allocation method for the analysis. Under this method, the operating expenses are allocated first to the service-- cost functions of extra-capaGity maximum-day and maximum-hour demand, base costs, customer costs and fire protection, and then to each of the customer classes served. Summaries of such analyses, based on allocations that are reasonable and just, are shown in schedule 1 of exhibit no. 3 and schedule 5 of exhibit no. 4 of the record in this proceeding. Appendix A shows customer class revenue requirements resulting from the cost analysis compared with revenues at authorized rates. Water service rates authorized herein will result in an estimated net operating income of approximately $400,974 which provides a 6.0% return on the water utility net investment rate base of $6,682,896. As shown in attached appendix A, the base-extra capacity cost allocation method results in a relatively wide range of increases in the charges to the various general service customer classes to reflect the cost of providing service to such classes. To provide for historical continuity in applicant's rates, the commission finds it reasonable to authorize general service rates that move in the direction of the base-extra capacity cost analysis as described above, with the intent to make further adjustments in that direction in subsequent rate proceedings. In -7 - i. moving toward the cost of service in authorized rates, the commission tempers the rate increase to the customer classes that, according to the cost analysis, should receive the largest percentage increases. 2he resulting revenue difference is recovered through rates to the remaining customer classes. The percentage rate inerease to�any individual customer will not necessarily equal the overall percentage increase to the associated customer class, but will depend on the specific usage level of that customer. Authori2ed rates as set forth in appendix B are based on the cost of supplying various classes or types of service. These rates are reasonable and just. All customers will be required to pay an appropriate amount £or the service provided. Some typical water bills for residentiai, commercial, public authority and industrial customers were computed, using schedule Mg-1 to compare existing interim rates with the new rates. Such comparison is set forth in appendix C. The overall increase in annual revenues is 4.Oqo, comprised of a 4.8% increase in general service charges with no change to the existing level of fire protection charges. A typical residentiai customer's bill will rise 0.5% over interim rates. Rates have risen because of a 13°� increase in gross plant investment and a 12% increase in operating expenses since applicant's last rate case in 1478. The typical bills calculated using the authozized rates are approximately average when compared with those of similar water utilities in the state. : Y . . . . .........�. �.�..�� .�.-.- ....... .... f � �. Authorized general service rates provide a greater percentage increase to large volume users than for average residential customers. This greater increase is caused by the relatively larger increases in the rates for the high volume rate blocks based on the results of the base-extra capacity-cost -- allocation as discussed above. The greater increase to large volume users is reasonable in that the proposed rates more appropriately reflect the cost of providing service than do the present rates. The authori2ed charge for public fire protection provides for no increase as compared to a 4.8y, increase in general service rates. The results of staff's cost allocation, as shown in appendix A, indicates an 18.4% decrease to the public fire protection charge to reflect the cost of providing service. Rather than reduce the charge to the indicated level, it is reasonable in the interest of rate continuity, to leave the public fire protection charge unchanged, and to recover the difference through smaller increases to the general service rates. The authorization to increase water rates is classified as a Category 3 action under s. PSC 2.90(3}, Wis. Adm. Code. It consequently requires neither an environmental impact statement under s. 1.11, Wis. Stats., nor an environmental screening. On May 20, 1980, the commission authorized a 12.88 interim increase in applicant's rates. These interim rates were reasonable and just for the period for which they were in effect. � Applicant bills quarterly. The authorized rates rules for water service shall be made effective as soon as possible after issuance of the order herein in accordance with ss. 196.21 and 196.40, Wis. Stats., so that applicant can avoid the adverse financial effect of losing authorized increased � revenues for an entire billing period. Order THE COMMISSION THEREFORE ORDERS: 1. That the city of Oshkosh, Winnebago County, as a water public utility, be and is hereby authorized to discontinue its existing water rates and rules for service and to make effective for such service the rates and rules set forth in the attached appendix. 2. That the effective date of this order shall be 5 days after mailing to, or physical service upon, the parties to the proceedings. The authorized rates and rules shall also be effective on that date provided that the newly authorized rates and rules are filed with the commission and placed in all offices and stations of the utility prior to or on that date. If the newly authorized rates and rules are not placed in all offices and stations of the utility prior to or on that date, the rates and rules will become effective on the date that they are placed in all offices and stations. The utility shall immediately inform -10- � �, the commission, in writing, of the date that the authorized rates and rules take effect. 3. That the city of Oshkosh, Winnebago County, as a water public utility, inform each customer of the new rates as required by s. PSC 185.33(1), Wis. Adm. Code.
