25 DRAINAGE CHARGE 10/7/2016 DRAFT - For Discussion Purposes Only 25

26 Fair Share Drainage Charge Since 1975, DWSD has charged customers for drainage. DWSD incurs more than $125 million each year to store, transport and treat billions of gallons of storm water runoff and ice melt that flow into the city s combined sewer system. DWSD invested $1 billion in Combined Sewer Overflow facilities (CSOs). May be required to invest in additional facilities, costing everyone more. 10/7/2016 DRAFT - For Discussion Purposes Only 26

27 Fair Share Drainage Charge Working with City Assessor data and flyover views, DWSD identified 22,000 parcels that contribute to the city s drainage but are not being billed. Charged $750 per impervious acre or 1.7 cents per impervious square foot per month starting October No backbilling. Orange and green parcels are not charged for drainage. Parcels less than 0.02 impervious acres (side lots) will not be billed. Billing these parcels could provide up to $10 million revenue and offset costs. If everyone pays their fair share, DWSD can bring down rates and all customers pay less. 10/7/2016 DRAFT - For Discussion Purposes Only 27

28 One Rate By January 2018, all property owners will be transitioned to a uniform rate based on impervious acreage. Impervious cover is hard surfaces such as rooftops, driveways, parking lots that cause storm water to run off. *Less impervious cover results in a lower charge. October 2016: DWSD launches drainage charge credits to reduce drainage bills and promote storm water management and green infrastructure. 10/7/2016 DRAFT - For Discussion Purposes Only 28

29 Resolve Billing Inconsistency Non-Residential Customer A Billed for 2.1 Impervious Acres x Class 5 Rate Non-Residential Customer B Billed per 1 plus Meter Size Paying $1,621 a month in Drainage Non-Residential Customer C Billed for 2.1 Impervious Acre x Class 2 Rate Paying $ a month in Drainage Non-Residential Customer D Billed per 5/8 to 1 Meter Size Paying $685 a month in Drainage Paying $20.36 a month in Drainage 10/7/2016 DRAFT - For Discussion Purposes Only 29

30 Phasing Plan Phase I Billing Data Import Phase II New Parcels City Owned Phase III Industrial Phase IV Commercial Phase V Tax Exempt Phase VI Residential Phase VII Faith-Based Target Dates: July 2016 October 2016 January 2017 April 2017 June 2017 October 2017 January 2018 Parcels will convert to impervious acreage billing based on zoning classification New parcels charged $750/IA or $0.02/ISF per month starting October 2016 By 2018, all customers pay same rate based on impervious acreage IA = Impervious Acres. ISF = Impervious Square Foot 10/7/2016 DRAFT - For Discussion Purposes Only 30

31 Drainage Charge Credits Launch October 2016 Customers can earn up to 80% bill credit.* Up to 40% for reducing annual volume of flow i.e. how much water you prevent from going into the sewer per year. Up to 40% for controlling peak flow rate i.e. slowing the rate at which water leaves your site and enters the sewer. *Credits apply only to the managed area of a parcel 10/7/2016 DRAFT - For Discussion Purposes Only 31

32 Eligible Practices and Potential Credits Detention Pond: 0-40% Disconnected downspoutsimperviousness: 0-40% Bioretention: 0-80% Permeable Pavement: 0-80% 10/7/2016 DRAFT - For Discussion Purposes Only 32
