customers will be based on the individual customer's
average monthly water use during the preceding winter
quarter months of December, January and February, but
in no event shall the volume used to compute this
monthly charge exceed one thousand five hundred (1,500)
cubic feet The volumes used to compute these caarges
are based on the amount of water used by the residen-
tial class customer as measured by a meter Where no
preceding winter quarter average is available from
records, the director shall estimate a volume to
f

be used for this monthly volume charge, such estimated
volume not to exceed one thousand five hundred (1,500)
cubic feet
The monthly charges to commercial and industrial
class customers will be based on total water use as
measured by appropriate meters, with the provision that
if a customer can show, to the satisfaction of the dir-
ector of the waterworks department, that a significant

7/28/81 G-5053(Revised PROPOSED WATER RATE INCREASE iota
On June 11, 1980, the Consultant Engineering firm of Black and Veatch
submitted a report on a water rate study for Fort Worth The study
projected the need for water rate increases in fiscal years 1981, 1982
and 1983 Rates were increased in October 1980 as recommended by the
consultant and the City Council was told that before the 1981 rate
proposal the costs would be reviewed for adequacy of the projection
The recommended rate increase for 1982 is 8 percent according to the
consultant's report; however, the need for a water rate in excess of
this amount currently exists due to higher costs and increased usage
during hot, dry periods

Proposed Rate Adjustments
The ever-increasing cost of energy, materials, equipment and manpower
requires funds in excess of those that can be derived by the existing
water .rate structures
The growth of Fort Worth and its customer cities has increased the demand
for water beyond the yield of the West Fork raw water supply This growing
demand must be met by water delivered from the East Texas water supply
This water is more expensive because of pumping and the cost of treatment
is much greater than the West Fork water
L~
It is proposed that a rate adjustment be adopted which is made up of two
parts The first part is an overall 8 percent increase in the water rate
structure The second part of the proposed rate is a summer rate schedule
which would encourage conservation of water during the peak usage periods
when most. of the water is used for irrigation Only those customers which
use °rn excess of 2,000 cubic feet (15,000 gallons) per month would be
affected by the summer rate on the June, July, August and September bills
The summer rate schedules will be established by charging the same volume
charge of 67 cents per 100 cubic feet for the second rate step (2,000 to
50,000 cubic feet) which is the same rate charged per 100 cubic feet for
the first 2,000 cubic feet used by a customer
Over the past four years, the residential class billing reflects an
average use of 1,280 cubic feet (9,600 gallons) per month During the
summer months, the quantity used is much more for' some customers
During the fiscal year of 1979-80, which was one of the hottest and
driest years, 77 37% of all the monthly bills rendered by the Water
Department were 2,000 cubic feet or less However, during the four
summer month period, 48 34% of the bills mailed were 2,000 cubic feet
per month or less All consumers who use more than 50,000 cubic feet
per month during the period of summer rates will pay an additional
$91 20 if the summer rate is adopted
