BACKGROUND: The Urban Water Management Planning Act (Act) requires every urban water supplier that provides water for municipal purposes to more than 3,000 connections or supplying more than 3,000 acre-feet per year (AFY) of water to adopt and submit an Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) to the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) every five years.

The deadline for water suppliers to submit their 2020 UWMP to DWR is July 1, 2021.
The City is an urban supplier of water for approximately 54,000 connections supplying approximately 19,000 AFY of water and is therefore required to comply with the Act. The City’s previous UWMP was the 2015 UWMP, which was adopted by the City Council in June 2016.

BACKGROUND: Santa Rosa Water bills single-family residential and multi-family residential accounts that do not have a separate irrigation meter for landscaping for sewer usage based on a calculated sewer cap. Santa Rosa Water bills single-family residential accounts for water based on a two-tier water usage rate. For water-only customers that use City water for both indoor and irrigation use, a water cap is calculated to determine indoor water use. Water only customers are billed for water use up to the water cap at the first tier and all water use above the water cap is billed at the second tier.
Sewer and water caps are calculated by the average winter water use for three complete billing periods of use beginning with the first meter reading on or after November 15th of each year and ending after three full billing periods have completed (“Winter Billing Period”). The sewer and water caps go into effect July 1st of each yea | to approve | Pass |

| 1 | 7.3 | Demand Fees Recommendation | BPU- Report | REPORT - 2021 DEMAND FEE UPDATE - RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL
BACKGROUND: Demand fees are the one-time fees charged for new service connections to the City’s water and wastewater systems or for an expansion of existing use. The fees are intended to recover costs attributable to new development. Water and wastewater demand fees were last calculated in 2014 resulting in the 2014 Water and Wastewater Demand Study (2014 Study) and development of a new fee schedule that was adopted, with an annual inflationary adjustment.
The proposed update to the 2014 Study incorporates the water and wastewater systems’ updated valuation including additions of assets, depreciation, changes in debt financing, and reserves designated for capital projects; some modifications to the various customer categories; as well as updated water use and sewer flow factors based on data collected over the past four years.
These updates result in the recommended fees being higher per one thousand gallons for both water and wastewater but due to decreased water use and sewer flows of Santa Rosa customers | to approve | Pass |
