Rate Study –Objectives
•Develop multi-year plan for rates that provide sufficient revenue to
implement needed capital improvements and allow the water and
wastewater systems to be self-supporting
•Maintain Debt Service Coverage Ratio of 1.25 or higher
•Leverage surplus funds to reduce debt issuances
•Achieve a Fund Balance of $3-4 million as a combined system, or 90-120
