customer. Without the proposed rate increases, the City and CUA would not meet current revenue requirements and could be in violation of the existing bond covenants. As a result, current bondholders could demand redemption of remaining available bonding resources thereby halting current improvements to Wells 30 & 31 and other current capital projects. The principal driving factors for the increased costs to the operation of the utility are related to energy, chemical, and water quality treatment costs. Other significant contributions to the declining cash balance and diversion of funds from capital improvements includes the ongoing costs of litigation related to perchlorate contamination of the Colton Rialto basin. Additionally, at this time, the utility does not have adequate cash or reserves on hand to facilitate emergency repairs to critical infrastructure in the event of an earthquake or other disaster. Approximately 3,000 customers within the City limits west of Pepper Ave are served by the West Valley Water District (WVWD). The proposed rate structure has been designed to be essentially the same for WVWD and CUA customers. This provides for equity throughout the City for the average residential user. In essence, a customer served by Colton on the east side of Pepper Ave. will have a similar system of charges for service as one on the west side of the street. The recommended rates for each of the customer classes and monthly service charges are: The City of Colton Water Department Proposed Rate Table (at 2/5/09) Current Meters I Current I May, 2009 1 Jan, 2010 1 Jan, 20111 Jan, 2012 Commodity Charge per HCF Tier 1 $0.76 1 $1.11 $1.28 1 $1.47 1 $1.61 Tier 2 $0.95 1 N/A N/A I N/A I N/A I Monthly Service Charee: I 5/8 and 3/4" 4,971 $7.98 $11.48 $13.20 $15.18 $16.70 1" 4,288 $12.20 $18.03 $20.74 $23.85 $26.23 11/2" 299 $20.64 1 $32.31 $37.15 $42.73 $47.00 2" 296 $30.35 $49.02 $56.37 $64.82 $71.31 3" 1 $0.00 $58.33 $67.08 1 $77.15 $84.86 4" 19 $81.84 $198.51 $228.28 $262.53 $288.78 6" 3 $149.81 $336.48 $386.95 $444.99 $489.49 8" 2 $221.15 $431.15 $495.82 $570.20 $627.22 10" - $348.24 $616.57 $709.06 $815.42 $896.96 12" - $499.30 $1,000.97 $1,151.111 $1,323.78 $1,456.16 Totall 9,879
