For the average residential customer in the City, the FY rate increase will have the following impact: Charge Type Monthly Cost Increase Water Volumetric Charge Increase $0.00 Water Base Charge Increase $0.38 Sewer Volumetric Charge Increase $0.86 Sewer Base Charge Increase $0.55 Total $

8 WATER AND SEWER SYSTEM BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS Continued These rate increases will generate sufficient revenues to meet the net operating income-to-debt service ratio requirements of recently approved revenue bonds. These requirements are part of the revenue bond covenants and are intended to ensure that there are sufficient revenues to meet the debt obligations of the water and sewer system. If the system did not generate sufficient revenues to pay off the bonds, the covenants would require the City to increase water and sewer rates. The approved rate increases will be effective October 1, These increases are needed to fund major investments in the water and sewer system in order to upgrade existing water and wastewater treatment plant infrastructure and continue to replace the oldest water distribution and sewer collection pipes in the system. The capital budget for FY totals $43.6 million; planned investments over the next six years total $202.9 million. Even with these increases, Winston-Salem s rates will continue to be among the lowest of the major systems in North Carolina, as noted in the chart below: Projected FY Water and Sewer Rates (Average Monthly Residential Customer) $75 $60 $60.59 $52.98 $51.90 $45 $41.38 $40.61 $30 $15 $0 Raleigh Durham Charlotte Winston-Salem Greensboro * Based on 1,200 cubic feet of water consumption bimonthly - Excluding debt and lease expenses, the adopted FY budget is increased $510,570, or 1.2%, primarily due to increases for personnel (+$326,680) and contractual services for sewer pipe cleaning and root intrusion control (+$350,000). This additional, contracted sewer mainline cleaning will allow the Wastewater Collection Division to more proactively address potential problem areas, which will help to limit the number and size of sanitary sewer overflows throughout the system. - Debt and lease expenses are decreased $709,970, or 1.6%, primarily due to decreased principal and interest payments for revenue bonds (-$928,750). The adopted FY budget also includes a net increase in capital lease payments for equipment replacement. A listing of all Water and Sewer equipment replacements scheduled for FY can be found in the supplemental information section of this document. 86

The recommended budget provides no direct financial support for city and county recycling programs. Per an agreement, the City and County general funds began assuming partial financial responsibility for recycling programs in FY , and funding from the solid waste disposal fund was phased out over time with the city and county assuming full financial responsibility in FY Tipping Fees - Overall, tipping fee revenues are budgeted to increase $12,220, or 0.2%. The Solid Waste Division is projecting that tonnage at the Hanes Mill Road and Old Salisbury Road Landfills in FY will remain the same as the FY projected actuals. - As a part of the FY budget, the City-County Utility Commission approved the following rate increases: o $0.50 per ton for the large volume rate at Hanes Mill Road Landfill o $1.00 per ton for construction and demolition waste at Old Salisbury Road Landfill A recent cost of service study showed that operating revenues at the Old Salisbury Road Landfill were not sufficient to cover operating, debt service, and allocated overhead expenses. The $1.00 per ton increase will improve projected cost recovery for the construction and demolition waste disposal program. 90

This reduction brings the budgeted revenues more in line with the recent actual activity. Significant de-commissioning of R.J. Reynolds facilities at Whitaker Park have contributed to a decrease in annual non-residential stormwater fees collections. - The percentage share of expenses to be covered by Forsyth County in FY for Erosion Control is increased from 43.0% to 54.2%. This is due to an increase of erosion control activity in the County during FY Revenues from Forsyth County are increased by $40,960 (46.2%) due to this increase. - The adopted budget includes a net increase in debt and lease expenses of $19,360. Additional principal and interest payments have been added for the replacement of a tandem dump truck ($29,330) for drainage maintenance. - Transfers to the general fund cover the cost of the City s seasonal leaf collection program ($1,691,810) and the City s vector control program ($16,000). The transfer to the solid waste disposal fund ($109,620) offsets part of the cost of management and disposal of household hazardous wastes including paints, pesticides, used oil, solvents, and other materials at risk for disposal in the stormwater system. 95
