title
AN ORDINANCE relating to rates and charges for water services of Seattle Public Utilities; authorizing withdrawals from the Water Fund Revenue Stabilization Subfund; revising water rates and charges, and credits to low income customers; and amending the Seattle Municipal Code Sections 21.04.430, 21.04.440, and 21.76.040.
body
WHEREAS, Seattle City Council Resolution 31534, passed August 11, 2014, adopted a six-year Strategic Business Plan for Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) which guides utility investments, service levels, and rate paths through 2020; and
WHEREAS, the Strategic Business Plan included increases in the capital and operating requirements of the Water Fund in response to security, environmental, and infrastructure concerns, with a resulting increase in revenue requirements; and
WHEREAS, Ordinance 121761, passed 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; and
WHEREAS, the current balance in the Water Fund Revenue Stabilization Subfund exceeds the minimum balance, and the Strategic Business Plan directs that a portion of the excess funds be withdrawn to reduce the Water Fund revenue requirement and thereby reduce otherwise necessary increases in water rates; and
WHEREAS, SPU has recently completed a rate study incorporating the guidance of the Strategic Business Plan; and
WHEREAS, the water rates authorized by this ordinance are consistent with the general ratemaking policies set forth in Resolution 30742, adopted March 28, 2005; and
WHEREAS, credits for qualified low-income customers should be revised when water rates change; NOW, THEREFORE,

The Director may withdraw funds in order to meet operating expenses, pay Capital Improvement Program expenditures, or comply with the Water Fund financial policies adopted by the City Council, so long as the balance of the Revenue Stabilization Subfund never falls below $17,900,000.
