SAN SIMEON COMMUNITY SERVICES DISTRICT ORDINANCE SUMMARY AN ORDINANCE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE SAN SIMEON COMMUNITY SERVICES DISTRICT INCREASING WATER AND WASTEWATER SERVICE RATES This Ordinance Summary is published in accordance with the policies and procedures of the San Simeon Community Services District and the provisions of Government Code Section 25124. The ordinance increases rates for water and wastewater service to fund the costs of maintenance, operations, administration, capital improvements, and all other costs necessary to provide water and wastewater service to SSCSD customers. The ordinance establishes two separate rate structures: one for water service and one for wastewater service. Water Service The adopted water service rate structure consists of three components that make up each monthly bill: (1) a fixed fee per meter of $53.62 ("Service Fee"); (2) a variable charge for potable water of $20.17 per hundred cubic feet ("Potable Rate"); and (3) a variable charge for irrigation water of $33.88 per hundred cubic feet ("Irrigation Rate"). The service fee is calculated to cover fixed costs such as administrative costs, system maintenance, water quality testing, regulatory compliance, and debt service. The variable charges are calculated to fund the costs of providing additional units of water to customers such as water pumping, electricity, additional water treatment, and additional wear and tear. Wastewater Service The adopted wastewater service rate structure consists of five different rates based on the type of customer: (1) the Motel Rate of $23.78 per month; (2) the Residential Rate of $21.09 per month; (3) the Restaurant Rate of $31.83 per month; (4) the Commercial Rate of $13.63 per month; and the State Parks Rate of $33.30 per month. The rates are calculated based on the total costs of wastewater collection, pumping, treatment, and administrative costs and weighted by the average annual discharge of each class of users.
