A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING WASTEWATER SERVICE RATES
The following describes the intent and purpose of this resolution:
a. The City of Moab has undertaken to construct a new wastewater treatment facility and
has secured $15 million in financing for the construction of same.
b. The City completed a Sewer Rate Cost of Service Analysis in May, 2017, which evaluated
rate structures based on considerations of: projected system growth; total revenue
requirements for operations, maintenance, and debt service; and equitable allocation of costs
based on use of capacity and concentrations of wastewater discharge associated with different
user groups. The methodology and conclusions of the Sewer Rate Cost of Service Analysis are
adopted by the City and incorporated by reference.
c. The City anticipates higher operations and maintenance costs as demands on the
system increase and infrastructure ages.
d. The City anticipates higher debt service obligations due to the financing of the new
wastewater treatment facility.
e. The City finds that it is necessary and appropriate that wastewater users pay for their
proportionate share of all of the ongoing operations and maintenance needs and capital costs
of the system.
f. The City finds that a multi -year rate structure is necessary and appropriate to phase -in
rate increases over time.
g. The City has sewer rate setting authority pursuant to U.C.A. § 10-8-38, and other
authorities.
h. The City finds that the following rate structure is reasonable and consistent with the
objectives and policies described above.
Therefore, the City hereby enacts the following wastewater treatment rates:

Volumetric charges for residential customers, including single family residences and
multi -family residences, will be calculated based on the customer's average culinary water
usage in November through January each year. The charge will be calculated by multiplying the
average usage amount in gallons by the volumetric charge and adding same to the monthly
base rate. That rate will be assessed each month and recalculated each successive year. New
2
residential customers (single family and multi -family), will be assessed the base rate until a
winter usage amount can be calculated.
Volumetric charges for all other customers, including overnight accommodations,
restaurants, and other non-residential (commercial) customers will be calculated based on the
customer's total culinary water usage measured in the month preceding every billing month.
The charge will be calculated by multiplying the preceding month's water usage amount in
gallons by the volumetric charge and adding same to the monthly base rate.
Passed and adopted by a majority vote of the City Council. This Resolution will take
effect t6ip August 1, 2017.
