EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to adopt a Resolution amending Schedules One, Two, Three, Four, and Five of Appendix
A to Section Four of Collier County Ordinance No. 2001-73, as amended, titled the Collier County Water-
Sewer District Uniform Billing, Operating, and Regulatory Standards Ordinance, amending proposed rates
for water, wastewater, irrigation quality water, wholesale potable water, and miscellaneous service charges
with effective dates of January 1, 2024, October 1, 2024, and October 1, 2025.
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 (the “District”) to ensure
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 November 14, 2023 (Agenda Item 11.A) the Board, acting as the Ex Officio Governing
Board of the District, accepted the Water, Wastewater, Irrigation Quality Water, Wholesale Potable Water, and
Miscellaneous Service Charges User Rate and Fee Study and directed the County Manager or her designee to
advertise a resolution to amend the rate schedules. Staff prepared the attached rate resolution and schedules, which
reflect rate adjustments consistent with recommendations of the rate consultant and 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 November 20, 2023, setting forth the proposed resolution to amend the rate schedules for approval by the Board
at the December 12, 2023 meeting.
FISCAL IMPACT: The fiscal year 2024 revenue budget was prepared using the rates approved by the Board as
an interim rate adjustment per Resolution 2023-120, agenda item 17D. The User Fee Rate Study recommended
rates included in this Resolution will provide estimated fiscal year 2024 incremental Water revenue of $8.1 million,
Wastewater revenue of $7.3 million, and IQ revenue of $ 1.2 million in the Collier County Water -Sewer District
Operating Fund (4008). 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 is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote for
Board approval. -SRT
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners, Ex-officio the Governing Board of the
