Rates
6 . 1 Method of Rate Determination
6 . 1 . 1 Wholesale water rates will be based upon a
cost-of-service rate study performed by independent utility rate
consultants as provided for in Section 6 . 1 . 4 hereof. The
independent utility rate consultant shall be selected by the
Director from a list of five qualified firms submitted to the
Director by the Water System Advisory Committee. The cost of any
such study shall be a System Cost . All cost-of-service studies
shall be conducted utilizing the utility cost basis of determining
revenue requirements applicable to the wholesale customer class .
6 . 1 .2 The cost-of-service for the wholesale class shall
include allocated reasonable and necessary operation and
maintenance expense, depreciation expense and a fair and reasonable
return on allocated capital facilities . To determine the
allocation and distribution of costs to the wholesale customer
class, the independent utility rate consultant shall consider at
least the following factors : total volume, rate of flow, metering,
11
and customer-related costs such as accounting, billing, and
monitoring. Capital-related costs will consist of depreciation
expense and return on original cost rate base® The rate base
shall consist of all allocated capital facilities, net of
depreciation and contributions, and shall include construction work
in progress, a reasonable allowance for working capital, and a
reasonable inventory of materials and supplies necessary for the
efficient operation of the Fort Worth System. Records of the
original cost and the accumulated depreciation of all capital

Tracking System. These records shall be available for inspection
at the Fort Worth Water Department during reasonable business hours

earn a reasonable rate of return. The return shall be sufficient
to assure confidence in the financial soundness of the utility,

public duties, and shall be equal to the weighted average imbedded
cost of outstanding debt plus one and one-half percent ( 1-1/2%) .

selected by the Director in conformance with Section 6 . 1 . 1 herein.
The same methodology used in the Immediate previous rate study will
be utilized by the rate consultant so selected. In the interim
12
Fiscal Years between detailed rate studies, Fort Worth will adjust
wholesale water rates annually, using the same methodology as the
last detailed rate study, and will utilize the actual operating
data for the twelve month period ending September 30th of the prior
year, adjusted for all known and measurable changes in cost data
that may have occurred since the last audited financial statement.
Such adjustments should allow for year-end trending and the
spreading of non-recurring expenses over an appropriate benefit
period.

be allowed if recommended by a majority vote of the Water System
Advisory Committee and approved by the Fort Worth City Council . For

System Access Fees
16 . 1 On a quarterly basis, Customer agrees to pay to Fort
Worth a Wholesale System Access Fee for each new or enlarged
connection for water service made within Customer's service area
served by the General Benefit Facilities of the Fort Worth Water
System. The Wholesale System Access Fee to the Customer for each
such connection shall be based upon the size of water meter and
shall be equal to the Wholesale System Access Fee collected for the
same size water meter made within the jurisdiction of Fort Worth.
The calculation of said Wholesale System Access Fee shall be
consistent with all applicable state and federal regulations,
including Chapter 395, Texas Local Government Code, or any
amendment or successor statute thereto, and shall include only
those costs associated with General Benefit Facilities expansions
and capital improvements necessary to provide service to new
development. Nothing within this contract shall be deemed to
prevent either Fort Worth or Customer from charging their own
retail customers impact fees in excess of the Wholesale System
Access Fee provided for herein.
16 . 2 Fort Worth agrees that all monies remitted to it
pursuant to this Section will be placed in a separate interest
bearing account to pay only for the cost of constructing capital
improvements or facility expansions as permitted by Chapter 395,
Texas Local Government Code, or any amend tent thereto, or by any
successor statute thereto, and will not be used for operation and
maintenance expenses . Once expended, such funds and all interest
earned thereon will be considered a "contribution" for rate setting
purposes only.

16 . 3 Customer shall provide to Fort Worth such information
that relates to the making of new and/or enlarged connections
within its service area as may be requested by the Director,
including but not limited to building permits, with each quarterly
payment required in this section.
16 .4 Neither Fort Worth nor Customer shall waive any impact
fee due from new or enlarged connections to its respective system
within its jurisdiction or its service area. However, either Fort
Worth or Customer may pay such impact fee into the fund required
for paying for the capital improvements .
16 . 5 The Water System Advisory Committee created pursuant to
Section 15 hereof shall select five (5) of its members to a
subcommittee to be known as the Customer Impact Fee Committee
(CIFC) . Every three years, beginning June, 1992, Fort Worth will
update the land use assupmtions and capital improvements plan upon
which the Wholesale System Access Fees are based. In June 1992 and
every three years thereafter, the CIFC shall submit a list of five
qualified engineers or planning consultants to the Director. The
Director shall select a consultant from such list to assist Fort
Worth in developing land use assumptions, identifying capital
improvements, and formulating capital improvement plans and access
fees ® The consultant shall be responsible to Fort Worth and its
citizen's advisory committee, but shall also report to the CI C .
The cost of the consultant shall be deemed a System Cost. In the
event the CIFC fails to submit a list of five consultants to Fort
Worth, Fort Worth shall select a consultant to perform in the
manner described herein,
16 . 6 Fort- Worth agrees that only those capital improvements
26
as defined in section 1 . 18 hereof shall be included in the capital
improvements plan for the purpose of determining Wholesale System
Access Fees; provided however, Fort Worth may include other capital
improvements for the purpose of determining impact fees to its own
retail customers . Fort Worth shall not be required to include all
capital improvements in any capital improvements plan. The CIFC
shall be responsible for working with Fort Worth and its consultant
to determine the capital improvements to be included in the
calculation of any Wholesale System Access Fees , The CIFC shall
recommend to the Water System Advisory Committee which capital
improvements should be included in the calculation of any Wholesale
System Access Fees , The CIFC shall also meet with Fort Worth's
citizen advisory committee as such citizen's advisory committee
reviews and considers land use assumptions, the capital
improvements plan and impact fees .
16 , 7 Prior to the adoption of any land use assumptions,
capital improvements, or access fees by Fort Worth, the CIFC shall
be furnished a copy of the proposed land use assumptions, capital
improvement plan or access fees at least 30 days prior to any
scheduled hearing thereon. Any revised access fee adopted pursuant
to such updated capital improvements plan shall not take effect for
a period of at least ninety ( 90) days after adoption by Fort Worth.
16 , 8 Each year Fort Worth shall provide to the Wholesale
Water Advisory Committee an audited financial statement of the Fort
Worth Water Department 's records .
16 . 9 For the period of time from January 1 , 1991 until June
5, 1993, Customer agrees to pay to Fort Worth the water access fees
per new connection based upon Exhibit "A" attached hereto and
27
incorporated herein for purposes and intents . After June 5, 1993,
Customer agrees to pay access fees in such amounts as may be
determined in the manner provided in this Section 16 .
16 . 10 Fort Worth and Customer agree that the methodology for
the calculation of Wholesale System Access Fees required herein
shall be consistent with the methodology prescribed by Chapter 395,
Texas Local Government Code - or any amendment or successor statute
thereto. In the event that such statutory methodology is amended or
replaced by a new statute, the Wholesale Water Advisory Committee
may engage legal counsel to work with Fort Worth to propose
amendments to this contract to conform it to such amendment or new
statute. The reasonable cost of such legal counsel shall be a
System Cost.
