Ordinance, amending proposed rates for water, wastewater, irrigation quality water, wholesale

OBJECTIVE: To update existing water, wastewater, irrigation quality water (IQ), wholesale potable
water, and miscellaneous service user rates and fees for the Collier County Water -Sewer District
(District). This ensures revenues are sufficient to fund capital improvement and rehabilitation projects,
make user fee debt service payments, meet rate covenants in accordance with the Special Act of the
Florida Legislature, Chapter 2003-353 and recover system-wide operation, maintenance, and repair costs.
CONSIDERATIONS: On July 13, 2021, under Agenda Item 11.E the Board of County Commissioners
(Board) accepted the Water, Wastewater, Irrigation Quality Water, Wholesale Potable Water, and
Miscellaneous Service Charges Study and directed the County Manager or his designee to advertise a
resolution to amend the rate schedules. In consideration of allocation of up to $10 million of available
CARES Act relief and / or American Rescue Plan funding to water and wastewater user fee capital funds,
and supporting cash and carry maintenance projects like the infrastructure replacement efforts ongoing in
Naples Park. The year one user rate increase for water, wastewater, and irrigation quality water was
adjusted to 2.9 percent versus the year one rates recommended by the study. Staff prepared the attached
rate resolution and schedules, which reflect rate adjustments consistent with the Board’s direction. In
accordance with the Special Act that established the District, Section 6 (3), notice of a public hearing was
published on August 25, 2021, setting forth the proposed resolution to amend the rate schedules.
FISCAL IMPACT: The fiscal year 2022 revenue budget was prepared using the advertised rates. The
rates provide estimated fiscal year 2022 incremental Water revenue of $2.7 million, Wastewater revenue
of $3.3 million, and IQ revenue of $ 0.1 million in the Collier County Water-Sewer District Operating
Fund (408). Revenue from miscellaneous service charges represents approximately $2.5 million
annually, or less than two percent of the total annual District revenue.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This action meets current Growth Management Plan
standards to ensure the adequacy and availability of viable public facilities.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, is approved as to
form and legality, and requires majority vote for approval. -JAK
