Efficient Use of Water - Drew Beckwith, Western Resources Associatesrshimoda2014
Three sources of water are generally cited for to support continued population growth in the West: new diversions from rivers, transfers from agriculture to cities, or reduced use through conservation. Municipal conservation is the cheapest of the three, and often has the least impact on Western rivers.
This presentation describes the potential for conservation to reduce future demands, provide examples of implementation (including rate structures, water loss reduction, and indoor and outdoor best practice programs), and discuss Colorado state-level resources available to develop and implement conservation plans. Important concerns and issues regarding water conservation will also be addressed, including cost to the consumer, water quality, and impacts to return flows.

2023 Winter Springs Water and Wastewater Rate Study PresentationVictoriaColangelo
This document presents a comprehensive study on water and wastewater rates for Winter Springs, covering the scope of projects, historical trends, comparisons with surrounding municipalities, and leveraging additional funding sources. It includes detailed forecasts, assumptions, capital improvement program funding, existing and proposed rate adjustments, monthly utility bill projections, revenue sufficiency analysis, and comparisons of local rates. The study concludes with findings and recommendations for rate adjustments over the next five fiscal years to ensure revenue sufficiency and account for capital improvement needs and inflationary impacts.
Winter Springs 2023 Water and Wastewater Rate StudyVictoriaColangelo
The City requested a comprehensive review of the sufficiency of water, sewer, and reclaimed water user rates to provide revenue for operations and capital improvements. As the City is engaging in a significant sewer capital upgrade and reinvestment program over the next few years which will require a focus on obtaining funding for the projects and setting the rates to support the capital program and potential new debt service payments. Raftelis Financial Consultants conducted the study with close support and cooperation by the City’s staff and engineering consultants. This presentation will discuss the development of the study, results and recommendations to the City and Commission.

2. History of Broward County
Infrastructure Improvements
2
• Since 1995, the County has invested $350
million in their water and wastewater
distribution and collection system.
• This resulted in replacement of approximately
40% of the underground system since 1995.
• Current average age of pipe in the WWS
system is 24 years.
3. Future Broward County
Infrastructure Improvements
3
• Broward County estimates that approximately
$200 million will be spent over the next 20
years to upgrade water mains and sewer un-
sewered areas.
• It is estimated that approximately $10 million
per year will be budgeted for these
improvements
4. How Does Broward County Fund
these projects?
4
• Broward County has historically used a mix of
Debt Financing along with Cash Financing.
• Typically, approximately 60% of the Capital
program has been funded with Revenue
Bonds and 40% with Cash Financing.
• It is anticipated that this trend would continue
in the near years.
5. So How Does a Utility Adequately
Fund the Capital Program as
Consumption Decreases?
5
• Utilities are in the business to sell water.
• Utilities have been challenged to establish
water conservation initiatives
• Broward County has established a twice a
week, year round County wide irrigation rule.

10. Measures taken to insure adequate
revenue stream to fund Capital
Program
10
• Established conservation based rate structure
• Increased billing tiers for residential customers
from 3 to 4. Lowest tier has smallest rate
increase. No across the board increase.
• Provided adequate minimum monthly charges
for revenue protection
