customer class• Do rates generate revenue sufficient to pay current and forecast operating and

capital costs?

• Develop and assist with implementation of an improved rate structure• Eliminate cross customer-class subsidies• Reduce revenue declines related to weather events• Compare current & recommended rates to relevant peer group • Provide multi-year rate restructuring option • Generate revenue sufficient to fund operating and capital costs in a variety of

• Evaluate no-charge water accounts and schedule of non rate fees and charges

• Consider revising / expanding line-items used for budget process

• Pursue grant and loan forgiveness programs with the TWDB

• Formalize pending debt restructuring • Incorporate Staff, Board, and Council comments

into study• Advise ratepayers of proposed increases• Draft rate ordinance
