TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council

RE: File water rate increase with Public Service Commission (PSC) of Wisconsin
BACKGROUND
Per the direction of the Common Council, staff has been directed to annually evaluate our
utility rates to ensure we have systematic planning and control within the existing rates
structures. It is imperative the Water Utility begins the application process immediately, as
the process is complex and requires a comprehensive review by the PSC.
It is anticipated that the Water Utility will need a rate increase to ensure adequate funding for
daily operations and to maintain existing and new infrastructure. In addition, the Water
Utility has several mandates and requirements to maintain compliance with multiple State and
Federal agencies, and to ensure the safety and reliability of this service. Finally, rates will be
periodically reviewed to ensure compliance with debt coverage and existing debt covenants.
Staff requests authorization to complete and file a water rate increase application with the
Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSC). The PSC regulates all water utilities in
Wisconsin.
ANALYSIS
The cash flow analysis presented at the 2018 Budget Workshop on October 29, 2018, showed a
need for an approximate 11% increase.
The projected increase is anticipated to be needed due to the following reasons:
• Large Capital Improvement Programs in 2016 and beyond with regard to water
infrastructure projects
• Additional Revenue to cover debt payments (i.e. Debt Coverage)
• Decrease in usage from 2013 to the present
• Increase in expenses from 2013 to the present

For the Calendar year 2019 there is not a planned water rate increase, as it is anticipated the
proposed application will take approximately six to twelve months to process through the
PSC's extensive review and analysis.
FISCAL IMPACT
At the 2019 CIP Budget workshop in October the 10 year Cash Flow Analysis estimated an 11%
rate increase would be needed in the Water Utility. It is estimated this proposed increase
would raise approximately $1,763,157 in revenue. The impact on an average residential
account would be $12.03 annually.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council pass this resolution.
Respectfully Submitted, Approved:
