RE: Invoice #1 - FInal
Dear Frank:
This letter serves as invoice #1 FINAL for the above project. The tasks are as follows:
TASK 1 - Review Utility Consumer Data
Data to be provided by the City will include the number of accounts belonging to each customer class, the
number of water accounts by meter size by class, the number of dwelling units associated with each account
and the breakdown of accounts between inside and outside service areas and the number for exclusive
irrigation meters by meter size. City will provide meter reading data to PUMPS in EXCEL format. PUMPS
will review and evaluate historical and current records for the number of customer accounts currently on line
to the water system and wastewater system.
TASK 2 - Review Water Use and Wastewater Flow Data
PUMPS will compile historical flow data for the water and wastewater systems. PUMPS will review
characteristics of utility customers in the City’s service area and identify any relationships to historical and
current trends in water demand and consumption and wastewater generation data.
TASK 3 - Forecast Customer Growth, Water Consumption and Wastewater Generation
The number of accounts for each customer class of each utility will be recast, inside and outside the City’s
limits, for the next five (5) years. These projections will be reviewed with the City staff to ensure their
compatibility with City plans approved. In addition, water consumption and wastewater generation will be
projected for the same five (5) year period and presented to the City for review.

TASK 4 - Review Revenue Requirements
In order to estimate the revenue requirements, PUMPS will collect, review and evaluate historical and current
financial records, operation and maintenance reports, capital improvement programs, transfers, and schedules
of existing debt service as they pertain to the water and wastewater system. PUMPS may require assistance
from the City’s staff to understand certain revenue categories. The goals is that each utility will operate on a
financially self-sufficient basis.
Based upon historical operating records, system development plans, estimates of preventive maintenance
costs and needs for renewal and replacement and contingencies, and relevant economic conditions and trends,
PUMPS will forecast revenue requirements for the next five (5) years for each utility. Costs will be forecast
by major cost line item.
We will allocate costs to each utility, evaluate miscellaneous service charges, allocate revenue requirements
for each utility, calculate proposed rates and review debt services coverage ratios.
TASK 5 - Prepare Report (Deliverable)
PUMPS will prepare a report of this project. This technical report will include the data and tabular displays
of the analysis listed above.
The spreadsheet and report have been sent to you. I can make any adjustments and pdf the report if you wish.
