CUSTOMER NOTICE
September 19,2014
Dear Valued Customer:
On May 12, 2014, the Collier County Water and Wastewater Authority ("Authority")
adopted provisions permitting water and sewer utilities to adjust the rates they charge to their
customers to account for increases in the utilities' non-controllable expenses subject to
inflationary pressures, such as chemicals and other operational and maintenance costs.
On or about September 9, 2014, Ave Maria Utility Company, LLLP filed its Notice of
Intent to Adjust Rates Pursuant to the 2014 Index Rate ("Notice of Intent") with the Collier
County Growth Management Division Planning & Regulation ("GMD P&R") to increase water
and wastewater rates as a result of this action. The application of the 2014 Price Index Factor
established by the Authority results in a rate increase of 1.97% for water service and 1.39% for
wastewater service. The adjusted rates should be reflected on your December 2014 bill.
Should you have any questions, please contact your local utility office. Be sure to have
your account number handy for quick reference. Customers may also direct inquiries to the
GMD P&R Department of Operations and Regulatory Management, 2800 N. Horseshoe Dr.,
Naples, Florida 34104 at(239) 252-2302.
