V.Staff Discussion
A.Ave Maria Utility Company Rate Relief
Mr. Kovensky reported Ave Maria Utility sought rate relief for their customers on April 28 by
eliminating their top tier usage and capping it a lower rate. Normally, the Authority would
review such a request, but given it was made during the pandemic and related shutdown, it was
granted by staff. The rate reduction was effective from May 1 – July 1, 2020. The concept of
granting rebates or some other types of credits for customers was investigated but determined
to be unfeasible at the time.
Mr. Ricardo moved to ratify staff’s decision to grant Ave Maria Utility’s request to
temporarily lower their rates as proposed by the Utility. Second by Ms. Arora.
Carried unanimously 4 – 0.

SUBJECT: Authority Agenda Item – April 19, 2021
Final Order No. 2021-01
DATE: April 1, 2021
RECOMMENDATION: That the Authority approve Final Order No. 2021-01, establishing the
2021 Price Index Factor for investor-owned water and/or wastewater utilities operating in Collier
County and in the City of Marco Island.
REQUESTED APPROVAL: Request the Authority reviews the attached Florida Public Service
Commission (FPSC) Order No. PSC-2020-0493-PAA-WS issued December 14, 2020,
establishing the 2021 Price Index of 1.17 percent; and approve Final Order No. 2021-01,
establishing the equivalent 2021 Price Index for investor-owned utilities operating in Collier
County and the City of Marco Island.
REPORT: Section 1-6(I), Collier County Ordinance No. 96-6, as amended, requires the Authority
to adopt a price index for investor-owned water and/or wastewater utilities no later than May 15th
of each year, equivalent to the price index established annually by the FPSC. The 2021 Price Index
was made effective on January 7, 2021, via the FPSC’s Consummating Order PSC-2021-0028-
CO-WS.
The index is applied to the major categories of operation and maintenance costs incurred by water
and/or wastewater utilities, except for the amortization of rate case expenses and those operating
costs subject to pass-through adjustments, reflecting the percentage of increase (or decrease) of
such costs from the most recent 12-month historical period available. The maximum allowable
increase resulting from the application of the 2021 Price Index can be no greater than 1.17 percent.
Staff recommends adoption of Final Order No. 2021-01, approving the 2021 Price Index and the
forms required for filing the price index adjustment.

NOTICE OF PROPOSED AGENCY ACTION
ORDER EST AB LIS HING 2021 PRICE INDEX FOR WATER AND WASTEWATER
UTILITIES
BY THE COMMISSION:
NOTICE is hereby given by the Florida Public Service Commission that the action
discussed herein is preliminary in nature and will become final unless a person whose interests
are substantially affected files a petition for a formal proceeding, pursuant to Rule 25-22.029,
Florida Administrative Code (F.A .C .).
Background
Since March 31, 1981, pursuant to the guidelines established by Section 367 .081(4)(a),
Florida Statutes (F.S.), and Rule 25-30.420, F.A.C., we have established a price index increase or
decrease for major categories of operating costs on or before March 31 of each year. This
process allows water and wastewater utilities to adjust rates based on current specific expenses
without applying for a rate case.
This Order calculates the 2021 price index by comparing the Gross Domestic Product
Implicit Price Detlator Index for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020. This same procedure
has been u sed each year s ince 19 95 to calculate the price index . The U.S . Department of
Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis, released its most recent third quarter figures on
October 29, 2020.
Since March 31, 1981, this Commission has received and processed approximately 3,800
index and pass through applications. We have jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to Section
367.081, F.S.

ORDER NO. PSC-2020-0493-PAA-WS
DOCKET NO. 20200005-WS
PAGE 2
Decision
In 1993, the Gross Domestic Product Implicit Price Deflator Index (GDP) was
established as the appropriate measure for determining the water and wastewater price index. At
the same time, the convention of using a four quarter fiscal year comparison was also established
and this practice has been used every year since then.1 The GDP is prepared by the U.S.
Department of Commerce. Prior to that time, the Gross National Product Implicit Price Deflator
Index (GNP) was used as the indexing factor for water and wastewater utilities. The Department
of Commerce switched its emphasis from the GNP to the GDP as the primary measure of U.S.
production.
Pursuant to Section 367.081(4)(a), F.S., this Commission, by order, shall establish a price
increase or decrease index for major categories of operating costs incurred by utilities subject to
its jurisdiction reflecting the percentage of increase or decrease in such costs from the most
recent 12-month historical data available. Since 1995, the price index adjustment has been
determined by comparing the change in the average GDP for the year ending September 30,
instead of the original December 31, in order to more easily meet the statutory deadline.2
In Order No. PSC-2019-0525-PAA-WS, issued December 17, 2019, in Docket No.
20190005-WS, in keeping with the practice started in 1993, we reiterated the alternatives which
could be used to calculate the indexing of utility revenues. Past concerns expressed by utilities,
as summarized from utility input in previous hearings, are:
1) Inflation should be a major factor in determining the index;
2) Nationally published indices should be vital to this determination;
3) Major categories of expenses are labor, chemicals, materials and supplies, maintenance,
transportation, and treatment expense;
4) An area wage survey, Dodge Building Cost Index, Consumer Price Index, and the GDP
should be considered;
5) A broad measure index should be used; and
6) The index procedure should be easy to administer.
Based upon these concerns, we have previously explored the following alternatives:
1) Survey of Regulated Water and Wastewater Utilities;
1 Order No. PSC-1993-0195-FOF-WS, issued February 9, 1993, in Docket No. 19930005-WS, In re: Annual
reestablishment of price increase or decrease index of major categories of operating costs incurred by water and
wastewater utilities pursuant to Section 367.081(4)(a), F.S.
2 Order No. PSC-1995-0202-FOF-WS, issued February 10, 1995, in Docket No. 19950005-WS, In re: Annual
reestablishment of price increase or decrease index of major categories of operating costs incurred by water and
wastewater utilities pursuant to Section 367.081(4)(a), F.S.

ORDER NO. PSC-2020-0493-PAA-WS
DOCKET NO. 20200005-WS
PAGE 3
2) Consumer Price Index;
3) Florida Price Level Index;
4) Producer Price Index – previously the Wholesale Price Index; and
5) GDP (replacing the GNP).
Over the years, we found that the Survey of Regulated Water and Wastewater Utilities
should be rejected because using the results of a survey would allow utilities to pass on to
customers all cost increases, thereby reducing the incentives of promoting efficiency and
productivity. We have also found that the Consumer Price Index and the Florida Price Level
Index should be rejected because of their limited degree of applicability to the water and
wastewater industry. Both of these price indices are based upon comparing the advance in prices
of a limited number of general goods and, therefore, appear to have limited application to water
and wastewater utilities.
We further found that the Producer Price Index (PPI) is a family of indices that measure
the average change over time in selling prices received by domestic producers of goods and
services. PPI measures price change from the perspective of the seller, not the purchaser, and
therefore should be rejected. The bases for these indices have not changed, and the conclusions
reached in Order No. PSC-2019-0525-PAA-WS continue to apply in this case. Since 1993, we
have found that the GDP has a greater degree of applicability to the water and wastewater
industry. Therefore, we shall continue to use the GDP to calculate water and wastewater price
level adjustments. We shall calculate the 2021 Price Index by using a fiscal year, four quarter
comparison of the Implicit Price Deflator Index ending with the third quarter of 2020.
The following information provides a historical perspective of the annual price index:

Appropriate Rates for the 2021 Index
The U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis, released the most
recent third quarter 2020 figures on October 29, 2020. Consistent with our establishment of the
2020 Price Index last year, we are using the third quarter 2020 amounts to calculate our approved
2021 Price Index. Using the third quarter amounts allows time for a hearing if there is a protest,
in order for this Commission to establish the 2021 Price Index by March 31, 2021, in accordance
with Section 367.081(4)(a), F.S. The percentage change in the GDP using the fiscal year
comparison ending with the third quarter is 1.17 percent. This number was calculated as follows.
GDP Index for the fiscal year ended 9/30/20 113.849
GDP Index for the fiscal year ended 9/30/19 112.531
Difference 1.318
Divided by 9/30/19 GDP Index 112.531
2021 Price Index 1.17%
Notice of Indexing Requirements
The package presented in Attachment 1 shall be mailed to every regulated water and
wastewater utility after the expiration of the PAA protest period, along with a copy of the PAA
order once final. The entire package shall also be made available on this Commission’s website.
In an effort to increase the number of water and wastewater utilities taking advantage of
the annual price index and pass-through programs, the attached cover letter (Attachment 2) from
the Director of the Division of Accounting and Finance shall be included with the mailing of the
PAA Order in order to explain the purpose of the index and pass-through applications and to
communicate that Commission staff is available to assist them.

Re: Docket No. 20200005-WS - 2021 Price Index
Dear Utility Owner:
Since March 31, 1981, pursuant to the guidelines established by Section 367.081(4)(a),
Florida Statutes (F.S.), and Rule 25-30.420, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), the
Commission has established a price index increase or decrease for major categories of operating
costs. This process allows water and wastewater utilities to adjust rates based on current specific
expenses without applying for a rate case. The intent of this rule is to insure that inflationary
pressures are not detrimental to utility owners, and that any possible deflationary pressures are
not adverse to rate payers. By keeping up with index and pass-through adjustments, utility
operations can be maintained at a level sufficient to insure quality of service for the rate payers.
Pursuant to Rule 25-30.420(1)(a), F.A.C., all operation and maintenance expenses shall
be indexed with the exception of:
a) Pass-through items pursuant to Section 367.081(4)(b), F.S.;
b) Any amortization of rate case expense; and
c) Disallowances or adjustments made in an applicant's most recent rate proceeding.
Please note that all sludge removal expense should now be removed from operation and
maintenance expenses for the purpose of indexing. Incremental increases in this category of
expense may now be recovered using a pass-through request.

Month Day, 2021
Upon the filing of a request for an index and/or pass-through increase, staff will review the
application and modify existing rates accordingly. If for no other reason than to keep up with
escalating costs, utilities throughout Florida should file for this rate relief on an annual basis.
Utilities may apply for a 2021 Price Index anytime between April 1, 2021, through March 31,
2022 by mail or by emailing Applications@psc.state.fl.us. The attached package will answer
questions regarding what the index and pass-through rate adjustments are, how to apply for an
adjustment, and what needs to be filed in order to meet the filing requirements. While this
increase for any given year may be minor, (see chart below), the long-run effect of keeping
current with rising costs can be substantial.

Our staff is available at (850) 413-6900 should you need assistance with your filing. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call.
Moreover, additional rate relief mechanisms are available to water and wastewater utilities as alternatives to full rate cases.
