8 PRIORITIZE PRICING OBJECTIVES Objectives often compete and must be balanced: Larger fixed charges promote revenue stability but may be contrary to water efficiency and conservation goals Detailed cost of service based allocations may result in complex pricing structures that are difficult for customers to understand

9 RATE - SETTING PROCESS PUBLIC OUTREACH

21 WHY ARE COSTS ALWAYS INCREASING? Increasingly Stringent Regulations Regulated by the U.S. EPA and Virginia Dept. of Public Health Monitors 10 microbial contaminants and substances, along with disinfectants, turbidity, lead, copper, etc. As regulations become more stringent, costs rise Aging Infrastructure Parts of Richmond s utility system are almost 100 years old Historical Cost Natural Gas - $625.9M Water - $552.3M Wastewater - $720.7M Stormwater - $23.4M Almost $2B in assets will require repair and replacement Declining Per Capita Consumption Richmond has seen annual decrease in water and natural gas consumption Forecasting continued decline Because the majority of DPU s costs are fixed, the cost per unit will likely increase 21

22 HOW DOES DPU ADDRESS AFFORDABILITY? 22

23 HOW DOES DPU ADDRESS AFFORDABILITY? Customer Assistance Programs» Volumetric rates provide customers with control over their bill Evaluating residential lifeline water rate for non-discretionary consumption» Evaluating additional stormwater rate tiers to mitigate impact on smaller parcels» Current Programs MetroCare Assists families and individuals experiencing special hardships or financial difficulties with their heating bills Assists eligible customers with paying water and wastewater bills Special payment agreements Senior assistance Financial assistance for plumbing repairs and replacements (implementation ongoing) 23
