RATES
1. Method of rate determination
The annual rate charged by the City of Fort Worth for rendering water
4.
service under the terms of this contract shall be based upon the functional distri-
bution of the total annual cost incurred in furnishing treated water to its
customers, provided that nothing herein shall be construed as contemplating an
annual rate of less than the regular City of Fort Worth water only rate, plus 10
per cent of said regular water only rate.
2. Rates to be used
The annual rate to be charged for water shall include the proper propor-
tionate parts of the maintenance and operation cost as related to the production
and transmission facilities of the total Fort Worth Water System, the capital
facilities cost (fixed charges) on the production and transmission plant related
to the rendition of service at maximum withdrawal rates of use by the City of
Edgecliff Village and the raw water costs.
The charges for the initial period of the contract which shall terminate
September 30, 1967, have been computed to be as follows:
a. The commodity charge shall be '11.5� per 1,000 gallons withdrawn by
the customer.
b. The annual rates of use charges for maximum day usage shall be
$16,000 per M.G.D. and maximum hour rate of usage in excess of the
maximum day shall be $8,280 per M.G.D.
c. The service charge shall be $25.00 per month per meter.
3. Adjustment of rate
a. Raw water
The amount charged for raw water shall be increased or decreased
proportionately when the raw water cost paid by the City of Fort
Worth for water available for treatment and sale to the City of Edge -
cliff Village is increased or decreased. At the time of execution
of this contract, the rate, including 13% for system losses, to the
City of Edgecliff Village is 4.5� per 1,000 gallons. The portion of
the raw water charge which reflects system losses shall be adjusted
in the manner set out in sub -paragraph b. below in accordance with
actual experience during the preceding period.
b. Commodity charge and rates of use charges
The rate shall be reviewed and adjusted every five years except that
the first such review shall be based on the annual cost of operation
for the fiscal years, 1965-66 and 1966-67. The cost related to the
production and transmission function of distributing treated water to
the Fort Worth city limits in wholesale quantities plus a service
charge shall be determined in accordance with methods herein. Such
5.
costs shall be projected through the City of Fort Worth fiscal year
1970 to establish the fair rate for water to be charged during the
period October 1, 1967 to September 30, 1972. The adjusted rate shall
be made effective October 1, 1967. A similar review and rate adjust-
ment shall be made for each succeeding five year period for the term
of the contract.
1.1
PAYMENT FOR WATER
Payment of charges to the City of Fort Worth for water used by the City of
Edgecliff Village shall be made as follows:

2/27/67 C-895 Edgecliff Vil.laee i of
New contracts for the furnishing of water and sanitary sewer service by the City
of Fort Worth to the City of Edgecliff Village under current standard policies,
have been negotiated by the staff, and are described as follows:
Water Contract
On March 3, 1961 (M&C G1-29) Contract No. 4417 (M&C Gtl-24 dated February 24,
1961) was approved to furnish treated water to the City of Edgecliff Village.
The contract has a term of 30 years. It was the first long-term contract to
be executed in accordance with the policy adopted by the City Council August
30, 1960, which stated that Fort Worth was ready, willing, and able to sell
treated water to neighboring communities provided that this service would be
furnished by Fort Worth at no cost,,direct or indirect, to the citizens of Fort
Worth.
However, the rates charged for water service to Edgecliff Village under the
existing contract do not conform to the rates established by a City Council
Resolution adopted September 8, 1961, which approved uniform rates to be
charged all suburban customers. The proposed new contract with the City of
Edgecliff Village provides rates equivalent to those charged all other sub-
urban customers that are furnished water by Fort Worth under long-term con-
tracts. A comparison of the present and proposed water charges is shown as
follows:
Water Charges
`resent �roposed
Meter Service Charge per Month $25.00 (two meters; $50 (two meters)
Charge per 100 gallons 10.53 cents 11.5 cents
Annual Charge per 1 M.G. rate of withdrawal
Maximum Day $'14,520 $16,000
Maximum Hour 6,310 83280
Summary of Contract Provisions
The proposed contract has been prepared in accordance with standard policy of
the City of Fort Worth for the sale of treated water to neighboring communities.
The new contract includes the following major provisions.
1) Rates - The charges for water service are based on the following schedule:
Commodity Charge - Includes maintenance, operating, and raw water charges
of 11.5 cents per thousand gallons used. (Th.is amount
includes 4.5 cents per one thousand gallons for raw
water. The double raw water charge does not apply since
Edgecliff Village is located within the boundaries of the
Tarrant County Water Control Improvement District No. 1.)

production and transmission of treated water, including
an allocation of and charge for cost of facilities needed

under the proposed contract are $16,000 per MCD for maxi-
mum day usage and $8,280 per MGD for maximum hour usage.
Service Charge - $25 per month per master meter, for meter reading, billing
and miscellaneous expense.
2) Payment for Water - The minimum monthly payment under the new contract is
based on the quantity of water used, computed on the
Fort Worth water only rate schedule, plus 10 per cent,
plus the meter service charge of $50. The actual annual
payment by the purchaser for water service is related to
the annual and peak volumes used and cannot be less than
the charge paid for an equivalent amount used by a water
consumer within the corporate limits of Fort Worth plus
10 per cent, plus a $25 monthly service charge per meter.
3) Effective Date for Billing - The effective date of the contract for billing
purposes is the 15th day of the month following the exe-
cution of the contract.

five year intervals during the contract time. The first
such review and rate adjustment will be effective October
1, 1967.
5) Resale of Water - The City of Edgecliff Village agrees not to sell water at
a lower rate than the City of r`crt Worth rate charged a
similar customer located in Fort Worth.
6) Restricted SuDDly Procedures - In the event the water supply is restricted
in Fort Worth for any reason, the quantity withdrawn by
Edgecliff Village can be reduced in the same proportion.
7) Rationing - If it is necessary for the City Council of Fort Worth to ration
the amount of water used in Fort Worth, similar rules
must be adopted by the City of Edgecliff Village.
8) Meters - Meters have been installed at the expense of the City of Edgecliff
Village, and flow recording and rate of flow devices will
be installed by Edgecliff Village at its expense.
The City Council of Edgecliff Village approved the water contract on February 8,
1967.

Sanitary Sewer Service Contract
On July 19, 1955, Contract No. 3326 was approved, and on December 8, 1961 (M&C
W1-45 dated December 8, 1961 amending M&C W1-38 dated November 17, 1961), Con-
tract No. 4571 was adopted which amended the previous contract, under the terms
of which the City of Fort Worth provided sanitary sewer service to the City of
Edgecliff Village. The contracts were effective until July 19, 1965.
A new contract has been prepared in accordance with the uniform policy for fur-
nishing sanitary sewer service to neighboring communities, and it contains the
standard provisions and rate determinations.
The rates charged the City of Edgecliff Village are based on the complete cost
of operation and maintenance, and the pro-rata capital cost of Fort Worth fa-
cilities used in transporting and treating Edgecliff Village sewage, in accord-
ance with the standard charge rate established by the City Council for provid-
ing sanitary sewer service to neighboring communities.
The charge rate is $0.78 per month for each residential connection. Edgecliff
Village will pay for sanitary sewer service on the "per connection1° basis. How-
ever, conversion to the metered basis of payment can be initiated by either city,
and any meters installed under the terms of the agreement will be at the expense
of Edgecliff Village.
The charge rate will be reviewed and adjusted every five years after the first
such review, which will be based on the annual cost of operation for fiscal year
1967-68. Cost trends, including the average rate of increase or decrease in the
annual cost of operation, will be projected in the course of. each review to Be-
te�}mine the fair adjusted charge rate and metering service charge.
The monthly charge to Edgecliff Village will. initially be the residential charge
rate of $0.78 times the number of residential customers, plus the computed rate
for each commercial or industrial customer based on water consumption, plus $25
per month for billing costs on the "per connectionf9 charge basis.
The contract provides that in the event. Fort Worth employs rate consultants to
study and report on rates being charged by the City of Fort Worth for sewage
services rendered to other municipalities, the charge rates as set out in the
contract may be adjusted by the City of Fort Worth to conform with the study and
report of the rate consultant at the time such study is accepted by the City
Council, but not earlier than October 1, 1968.
At the present time, Edgecliff Village has 256 connections to the Fort Worth
system. The present charge is $2.50 per connection. This charge will be re-
duced initially to $0.78 per connection per month.
The City Council of the City of Edgecliff Village approved the sanitary sewer
service contract on February 8, 1967.

Re: Amendment to Contract
No. 5724 for Water Service
Water Service Contract No. 5724 between the City of Fort Worth and the City of
Edgecliff Village provides that the commodity charges and rates of use charges
shall be reviewed and adjusted every five years but the first rate adjustment
shall be made effective October 1, 1967. The current charges have been reviewed
in accordance with the procedure specified in the contract and the adjusted new
rates were approved by the Fort Worth City Council on March 11, 1968. The pres-
ent rates and the adjusted rates are tabulated as follows:
Adjusted Rates
Present Effective
Rates October 1, 1967
Commodity Charge, cents per 1000 gallons
Maximum day per 1.0 M.G.
Maximum hour rate in excess of
maximum day per 1.0 M.G.D.
Service charge per meter per month
11.5 13.2
$16,000 $15,810
$ 8,280 $ 7,070
$ 25 $ 25
By comparison, last year the City of Edgecliff Village paid $13,849.92 to the
