title
An ordinance relating to rates and charges for water services of Seattle Public Utilities; revising water rates and charges; revising qualification requirements for the utility discount program; revising credits to low-income customers; and amending Sections 21.04.430, 21.04.440, 21.76.030, and 21.76.040 of the Seattle Municipal Code.
body
Recitals:
Seattle Public Utilities recently completed a rate study incorporating guidance of its 2025-2030 Strategic Business Plan, adopted by the Seattle City Council in Resolution 32136.
The water rates authorized by this ordinance are consistent with the general rate-making policies set forth in Resolution 30742, adopted March 28, 2005.
Ordinance 121761, passed on March 28, 2005, established a minimum balance for the Water Fund Revenue Stabilization Subfund of $9,000,000 and permits funds in excess of this amount to be used to meet operating expenses, pay Capital Improvement Program expenditures, or to comply with financial policies.
The current balance of the Water Fund Revenue Stabilization Subfund exceeds the minimum balance.
Seattle Public Utilities plans to use a portion of the excess funds to be withdrawn to reduce the Water Fund revenue requirement and thereby reduce otherwise necessary increases in water rates.
Qualifications for participation in the Utility Discount Program needs to be revised and credits for qualified low-income customers should be revised when water rates change. Therefore,
Be it ordained by The City of Seattle as follows:
Section 1. Section 21.04.430 of the Seattle Municipal Code, last amended by Ordinance 126909, is amended as follows:
21.04.430 Rates inside Seattle
All water used inside Seattle for domestic and commercial purposes shall be supplied by meter only at the following rates and charges. Seasonal rates shall be prorated. For usage representing fractional parts of a month, the base service charge and all components of the commodity charge shall be prorated using a 30-day month. The additional cost of funding the Revenue Stabilization Subfund shall be specifically indicated in the billings. Seattle Public Utilities shall continue to incorporate arts funding into its capital projects constructed within the municipal boundaries of Seattle at the one percent level; however, the department shall not be permitted to fund any such program from the Water Fund on any capital project outside the city limits.
A. Residential. The rates for metered water supplied to single-family and duplex residences within Seattle in one month, or fractional part thereof, shall be based on a commodity charge and a base service charge, in accordance with the following schedules:
Schedule WIR. Schedule WIR is for all single-family and duplex residences within Seattle except those billed on Schedule WIRM.
