IV. Items Requiring Action by the Authority
A. Ave Maria Utility Company revisions to miscellaneous service charges and meter-
installation fees
Mr. Kovensky presented the revisions for consideration. Ave Maria Utility Company submitted
a petition to modify some of its miscellaneous service charges on August 16, 2021. Final
revisions ended up differently from what they started with.
Mr. Kovensky noted that:
• Currently, the utility is charging actual cost of meter installation for meters that are 2
inches or higher. The utility feels that for the other meter sizes, the installation fees do
not adequately cover costs due to materials and labor cost increases, so it is asking to
charge actual costs for all meter sizes.
• The utility was initially going to add a flow-test fee and charge $165 for the service.
However, after numerous conversations, it was determined the flow-test fee was the same
as the bench-test fee, which already is covered in the tariff, so there are no changes to
add the bench-test cost.
• The utility is looking to increase fees for backflow prevention violations and
disconnection fees, meter-tampering fees, and unauthorized meter-use fees from $75 to
$250. They say the fees do not cover their actual costs, so they want to cover costs and
discourage violations. The utility has seen an increase in activity and wants to add that
cost to meter-tampering fees to keep costs similar among all fees.
• Plan-review fees: The utility currently is allowed to charge developers 3% for a review
fee. They are using the County’s fee schedule for the 3% fee broken down to the
“Construction Document Review” fee of 0.75% and “Construction Inspection” fee of
2.25%. Instead of charging the maximum rate of 10%, according to the Florida Public
Service Commission, the utility will adopt charges from the County’s fee schedule. As a
result, they have added two new charges – an “Insubstantial change to SDP or SIP,” and
an additional charge for “Project Phasing.”
• Miscellaneous fees to align wastewater fees with water fees: The original tariff from
2004 or 2005 for water and wastewater were not aligned. As a result, the utility is adding
similar fees and charges that exist in water to duplicate them in the wastewater tariff,
specifically the service-problem ID charge, autopay fee, PayPal fee, and late-fee charges.
• If approved, the Authority would be asked to approve Final Order 2021-02.
Mr. Ricardo moved to approve the Ave Maria Utility Company revisions. Second by
Chairman Sherry. Carried 4-0.

A. Ave Maria Utility Company Developer Agreements
Mr. Kovensky reported that there are 393 ERCs (Equivalent-Residential Connections) due to
four new developer agreements: Maple Ridge Phase 7A, Avalon Park Phase 4, Del Webb Parcel
205-208, and National Golf & Country Club Phase 3 Single-Family Residential, which all total
393 ERCs. This item is for informational purposes.
No action is required by the Authority.
B. Ave Maria Utility Company Notice of Tariff Updates
Mr. Kovensky reported that on August 11, 2021, Ave Maria Utility Company came forward
with a petition to apply Year 5 out of five pre-authorized rate increases to its tariff. This is the
fifth year since they came forward in 2016, which resulted in Final Order 2017-01.
Mr. Kovensky noted:
• Each phase was based on a 5% annual increase plus the annual price index increase
adopted by the Florida Public Service Commission — and for each of the first four years,
25% of their rate-case expense.
• Because it has been pre-approved, the utility is not required to file a petition with the
Authority. However, because the price index is variable from year to year, the County
insists that the utility file a petition so staff could ensure that the calculations and
methodology used are appropriate and accurate.
• The utility used the current Public Service Commission Price Index, adopted by Final
Order 2021-01, 1.17%. As a result, rate increases were 5.66% for water services and
5.58% for wastewater.
No action is required by the Authority
VI. Open to Public
No public comment
VII. Authority Members Discussion
Mr. Wordehoff asked if the Ave Maria Utility Company could provide electronic copies of its
FDEP operating permits for water and wastewater. Tammy Smith, an Ave Maria Utility Company
manager, said she would provide them to the Authority.
Mr. Kovensky said Ave Maria came in with another petition last week, but there was not enough
time for it to be processed and included in today’s agenda, so another meeting will be held next
month. It involves lowering fees based on rate-case expense-amortization that occurred.
There being no further business for the good of the County, the meeting was adjourned by the
order of the Chair at 2:14 P.M.

SUBJECT: Authority Agenda Item – March 21, 2022
Final Order No. 2022-01
DATE: February 24, 2022
RECOMMENDATION: That the Authority approve Final Order No. 2022-01, establishing the
2022 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-2021-0463-PAA-WS issued December 17, 2021,
establishing the 2022 Price Index of 4.53 percent; and approve Final Order No. 2022-01,
establishing the equivalent 2022 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 2022 Price Index
was made effective on January 12, 2022, via the FPSC’s Consummating Order PSC-2022-0024-
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 2022 Price Index can be no greater than 4.53 percent.
Staff recommends adoption of Final Order No. 2022-01, approving the 2022 Price Index and the
forms required for filing the price index adjustment.

NOTICE OF PROPOSED AGENCY ACTION ORDER
ESTABLISHING 2022 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 fonnal 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, Florida Administrative Code (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 2022 price index by comparing the Gross Domestic Product
Implicit Price Deflator Index for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021. This same procedure
has been used each year since 1995 to calculate the price index. The U.S. Department of
Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis, released its most recent third quarter figures on
October 28, 2021.
Since March 31, 1981 , we have received and processed approximately 3,872 index and
pass through applications. We have jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to Section 367 .081 ,
F.S.

DOCKET NO. 20210005-WS

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., we, 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-2020-0493-PAA-WS, issued December 14, 2020, in Docket No.
20200005-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;
2) Consumer Price Index;
3) Florida Price Level Index;
4) Producer Price Index -previously the Wholesale Price Index; and
1 Order No. PSC-1993-0195-FOF-WS, issued February 9, 1993, in Docket No. I 9930005-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 367.08/{4){a), F.S.

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.
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-2020-0493-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 2022 Price Index by using a fiscal year, four quarter comparison of the
Implicit Price Deflator Index ending with the third quarter of 2021.
The following information provides a historical perspective of the annual price index:

Appropriate Rate for the 2022 Price Index
The U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis, released the most
recent third quarter 2021 figures on October 28, 2021. Consistent with our establishment of the
2021 Price Index last year, we are using the third quarter 2021 amounts to calculate our approved
2022 Price Index. Using the third quarter amounts allows time for a hearing if there is a protest,
in order for us to establish the 2022 Price Index by March 31, 2022, 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 4.53 percent. This number was calculated as follows.

Re: Docket No. 20210005-WS -2022 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 customers. 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 customers.
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.

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 2022 Price Index anytime between April 1, 2022, through March 31,
2023 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. For your
convenience, the Commission-approved Price Index is reflected on Form PSC l 022, attached.
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.

Moreover, additional rate relief mechanisms are available to water and wastewater utilities as
alternatives to full rate cases. Water and wastewater utilities whose total gross annual operating
revenues are $300,000 or less for water service or $300,000 or less for wastewater service, or
$600,000 or less on a combined basis, may petition the Commission for staff assistance in

Rule 25-30.457, F.A.C., for additional details.
In addition, the Commission reminds water and wastewater utilities that the Utility Reserve Fund
exists to help address concerns over deferred maintenance of critical infrastructure and delays in
necessary repairs. The availability of the reserve funds may allow a utility to avoid or defer the
need for a future rate case, the expenses of which are ultimately borne by customers. Please refer

NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS
On March 21st, 2022, the Collier County Water and Wastewater Authority adopted
provisions permitting water and wastewater utilities to adjust the rates it charges to its

subject to inflationary pressures such as chemicals, and other operational and maintenance
costs.
On ______________, ________________________________ filed notice of intent
with the Growth Management Department (GMD) Operations & Regulatory Management
Division, to increase water and wastewater rates as a result of this action. If acknowledged
and approved by the Collier County Water and Wastewater Authority, water rates will
increase by approximately _______% and wastewater rates by ________%. The adjusted
rates should be reflected on your __________ 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

The petitioner shall mail a copy of the petition to the applicant at the address indicated above at the time
