Executive Summary

The Municipality of Central Elgin retained Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.

(Watson) to undertake a water and wastewater rate study. Watson provided a water

and wastewater rate study and a Water Financial Plan in 2012. This study extends off

those studies, updating the analysis for current capital and operating forecasts, costing

for lifecycle cost requirements, current consumption and customer profiles. The results

of this analysis provide updated water and wastewater base charges and volume rates

for customers within the Municipality of Central Elgin. The rate analysis contained

herein continues to provide fiscally responsible practices that are in line with current

provincial legislation.

The monthly base charge rates and volume rates for water and wastewater are

anticipated to increase annually by 5% each year from 2018 to 2021, and then 2%

annually thereafter, for the Central Elgin system.

Tables ES-1 and ES-2 summarize the recommended water and wastewater rates and

average annual bill (assuming an annual volume of 140 m3) based on the analysis

provided herein over the forecast period to 2027:

1. Introduction

1.1 Background

The Municipality of Central Elgin provides water service to the Port Stanley, Belmont,

Lynhurst, Oakview, and St. Thomas suburban areas. Other customers receiving water

services include those along the Port Burwell, Port Stanley, St. Thomas, London and

Aylmer Secondary water systems and customers along the Elgin primary water system.

Currently, there are approximately 3,770 metered water customers within the

Municipality. These users are billed a fixed monthly charge as well as volume rate

based on their consumption. Revenues received from the charges directly fund the

capital and operating budgets for water.

Note that all users within Central Elgin presently pay a uniform rate. For 871 customers

within the St. Thomas suburban area, they are presently billed directly by St. Thomas

for service provided and pay an additional capital charge which is forwarded to Central

Elgin. In total these customers pay the exact same amounts as all other users in

Central Elgin.

Wastewater collection and treatment is provided by the Municipality to the urban areas

of Port Stanley, Belmont, Lynhurst and Eastwood. The communities of Port Stanley

and Belmont have been serviced since the early 1970’s, while Lynhurst has been

serviced since the mid 1980’s and Eastwood began receiving services in 2009.

The Municipality currently imposes a monthly base charge along with a volume

consumption charge for both water and wastewater. The 2017 rates, to recover capital

and operating costs related to the systems, are provided in Table 1-1.

Table 1-1 2017 Water and Wastewater Rates

management of water and wastewater systems. Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.

was retained by the Municipality of Central Elgin to assist in addressing these changes

in a proactive manner as they relate to the water and wastewater systems. The

assessment provided herein addresses changes recommended to the water and

wastewater rates based on the most current information and forecasts the implications

over the next ten-year period.

1.2 Study Process

The objectives of the study and the steps involved in carrying out this assignment are

summarized below:

• Identify all current and future water and wastewater system capital needs to

assess the immediate and longer-term implications;

• Identify potential methods of cost recovery from the capital needs listing. These

recovery methods may include other statutory authorities (e.g. Development

Charges, Municipal Act, etc.) as an offset to recovery through the water and

wastewater rates;

• Identify existing operating costs by component and estimate future operating

costs over the next ten years. This assessment identifies fixed and variable

costs in order to project those costs sensitive to changes to the existing

infrastructure inventory, as well as costs which may increase commensurate with

growth; and

• Provide staff and Committee/Council the findings to assist in gaining approval of

the rates for 2018 and future years.

1.3 Regulatory Changes in Ontario

Resulting from the water crisis in Walkerton, significant regulatory changes have been

made in Ontario over the past decade. These changes arise as a result of the

Walkerton Commission and the 93 recommendations made by the Walkerton Inquiry

Part II report. Areas of recommendation include:

• watershed management and source protection;

• quality management;

• preventative maintenance;

• research and development;

• new performance standards;

• sustainable asset management; and

• lifecycle costing.

Page 1-3


The legislation which would have most impacted municipal water and wastewater rates

was the Sustainable Water and Sewage Systems Act (S.W.S.S.A.) which would have

required municipalities to implement full cost pricing. The Act was enacted in 2002,

however, had not been implemented pending the approval of its regulations. The Act

was repealed as of January 1, 2013. It is expected that the provisions of the Water

Opportunities Act will implement the fundamental requirements of S.W.S.S.A.

Furthermore, on December 27, 2017, O.Reg. 588/17 was released under the

Infrastructure for Jobs and Prosperity Act (I.J.P.A.), 2015 which outlines the

requirements for asset management for municipalities. The results of the Asset

Management review under this Act will need to be considered in light of the recent

investments undertaken by the Municipality and the capital spending plan provided

herein. The following sections describe these various resulting changes.

1.4 Sustainable Water and Sewage Systems Act

As noted earlier, S.W.S.S.A. was passed on December 13, 2002. The intent of the Act

was to introduce the requirement for municipalities to undertake an assessment of the

“full cost” of providing their water and wastewater services. It is noted that this Act has

been repealed, however, to provide broader context and understanding to other

legislation discussed herein, a description of the Act is provided below.

Full costs for water service was defined in subsection 3(7) of the Act and included

“source protection costs, operating costs, financing costs, renewal and replacement

costs and improvement costs associated with extracting, treating or distributing water to

the public and such other costs which may be specified by regulation.” Similar

provisions were made for wastewater services in subsection 4(7) respecting the

“collecting, treating or discharging waste water.”

The Act would have required the preparation of two reports for submission to the

Ministry of the Environment (or such other member of the Executive Council as may be

assigned the administration of this Act under the Executive Council Act). The first report

was on the “full cost of services” and the second was the “cost recovery plan.” Once

these reports were reviewed and approved by the Ministry, the municipality would have

been required to implement the plans within a specified time period.

In regard to the “Full Cost of Services” report, the municipality (deemed a regulated

entity under the Act) would prepare and approve a report concerning the provision of

water and sewage services. This report was to include an inventory of the infrastructure,

a management plan providing for the long-term integrity of the systems and address the

full cost of providing the services (other matters may be specified by the regulations)

Page 1-4


along with the revenue obtained to provide them. A professional engineer would certify

the inventory and management plan portion of the report. The municipality’s auditor

would be required to provide a written opinion on the report. The report was to be

approved by the municipality and then be forwarded to the Ministry along with the

engineer’s certification and the auditor’s opinion. The regulations would stipulate the

timing for this report.

The second report was referred to as a “Cost Recovery Plan” and would address how

the municipality intended to pay for the full costs of providing the service. The

regulations were to specify limitations on what sources of revenue the municipality may

use. The regulations may have also provided limits as to the level of increases any

customer or class of customer may experience over any period of time. Provision was

made for the municipality to implement increases above these limits however ministerial

approval would be required first. Similar to the first report, the municipal auditor would

provide a written opinion on the report prior to Council’s adoption, and this opinion must

accompany the report when submitted to the Province.

The Act provided the Minister the power to approve or not approve the plans. If the

Minister was not satisfied with the report or if a municipality did not submit a plan, the

Minister may have a plan prepared. The cost to the Crown for preparing the plan would

be recovered from the municipality. As well, the Minister may direct two or more

regulated municipalities to prepare a joint plan. This joint plan may be directed at the

onset or be directed by the Minister after receiving the individual plans from the

municipalities.

The Minister also had the power to order a municipality to generate revenue from a

specific revenue source or in a specified manner. The Minister may have also ordered a

regulated entity to do or refrain from doing such things as the Minister considered

advisable to ensure that the entity pays the full cost of providing the services to the

public.

Once the plans were approved and in place, the municipality would be required to

submit progress reports. The timing of these reports and the information to be contained

therein would be established by the regulations. A municipal auditor’s opinion must be

provided with the progress report. Municipalities would also revise the plans if they

deem the estimate does not reflect the full cost of providing the services, as a result of a

change in circumstances, regulatory or other changes that affect their plan, etc. The

municipality would then revise its prior plan, provide an auditor’s opinion, and submit the

plan to the Minister.

1.5 Financial Plans Regulation

On August 16, 2007, the M.O.E. passed O.Reg. 453/07 which requires the preparation

of financial plans for water (and wastewater) systems. The M.O.E. has also provided a

Financial Plan Guidance Document to assist in preparing the plans. A brief summary of

the key elements of the regulation is provided below:

• The financial plan will represent one of the key elements for the Municipality to

obtain its Drinking Water License;

• The financial plans shall be for a period of at least six years but longer planning

horizons are encouraged;

• As the regulation is under the Drinking Water Act, the preparation of the plan is

mandatory for water and encouraged for wastewater;

• The plan is considered a living document (i.e. will be updated as annual budgets

are prepared) but will need to be undertaken at a minimum every five years;

• The plans generally require the forecasting of capital, operating and reserve fund

positions, providing detailed inventories, forecasting future users and volume

usage and corresponding calculation of rates. In addition, P.S.A.B. information

on the system must be provided for each year of the forecast (i.e. total non-

financial assets, tangible capital asset acquisitions, tangible capital asset

construction, betterments, write-downs, disposals, total liabilities and net debt);

• The financial plans must be made available to the public (at no charge) upon

request and be available on the Municipality’s website. The availability of this

information must also be advertised; and

• The financial plans are to be approved by Resolution of the Council or governing

body indicating that the drinking water system is financially viable.

In general, the financial principles of the draft regulations follow the intent of S.W.S.S.A.

to move municipalities towards financial sustainability. However, many of the

prescriptive requirements have been removed (e.g. preparation of two separate

documents for provincial approval, auditor opinions, engineer certifications, etc.).

A Guideline (“Towards Financially Sustainable Drinking - Water and Wastewater

Systems”) has been developed to assist municipalities in understanding the Province’s

direction and provides a detailed discussion on possible approaches to sustainability.

The Province’s Principles of Financially Sustainable Water and Wastewater Services

are provided below:

Page 1-6


Principle #1: Ongoing public engagement and transparency can build support for,

and confidence in, financial plans and the system(s) to which they

relate.

Principle #2: An integrated approach to planning among water, wastewater, and

stormwater systems is desirable given the inherent relationship among

these services.

Principle #3: Revenues collected for the provision of water and wastewater services

should ultimately be used to meet the needs of those services.

Principle #4: Lifecycle planning with mid-course corrections is preferable to planning

over the short-term, or not planning at all.

Principle #5: An asset management plan is a key input to the development of a

financial plan.

Principle #6: A sustainable level of revenue allows for reliable service that meets or

exceeds environmental protection standards, while providing sufficient

resources for future rehabilitation and replacement needs.

Principle #7: Ensuring users pay for the services they are provided leads to

equitable outcomes and can improve conservation. In general,

metering and the use of rates can help ensure users pay for services

received.

Principle #8: Financial Plans are “living” documents that require continuous

improvement. Comparing the accuracy of financial projections with

actual results can lead to improved planning in the future.

Principle #9: Financial plans benefit from the close collaboration of various groups,

including engineers, accountants, auditors, utility staff, and municipal

council.

1.6 Water Opportunities Act, 2010

As noted earlier, since the passage of the Safe Drinking Water Act, continuing changes

and refinements to the legislation have been introduced. Some of these Bills have

found their way into law while others have not been approved. Bill 72 was introduced

into the legislation on May 18, 2010 and received Royal Assent on November 29, 2010.

Page 1-7


On November 29, 2010, Bill 72, the Water Opportunities Act, 2010 received Royal

Assent.

The Act provides for the following elements:

• Foster innovative water, wastewater and stormwater technologies, services and

practices in the private and public sectors;

• Prepare water conservation plans to achieve water conservation targets

established by the regulations; and

• Prepare sustainability plans for municipal water services, municipal wastewater

services and municipal stormwater services.

With regard to the sustainability plans:

• The Act extends from the water financial plans and requires a more detailed

review of the water financial plan and requires a full plan for wastewater and

stormwater services; and

• Regulations will provide performance targets for each service – these targets

may vary based on the jurisdiction of the regulated entity or the class of entity.

The Financial Plan shall include:

• An asset management plan for the physical infrastructure;

• A financial Plan;

• For water, a water conservation plan;

• An assessment of risks that may interfere with the future delivery of the municipal

service, including, if required by the regulations, the risks posed by climate

change and a plan to deal with those risks; and

• Strategies for maintaining and improving the municipal service, including

strategies to ensure the municipal service can satisfy future demand, consider

technologies, services and practices that promote the efficient use of water and

reduce negative impacts on Ontario’s water resources, and increase co-

operation with other municipal service providers.

Performance indicators will be established by service:

• May relate to the financing, operation or maintenance of a municipal service or to

any other matter in respect of which information may be required to be included

in a plan;

• May be different for different municipal service providers or for municipal services

in different areas of the Province.

Page 1-8


Regulations will prescribe:

• Timing;

• Contents of the plans;

• Identifying what portions of the plan will require certification;

• Public consultation process; and

• Limitations, updates, refinements, etc.

As noted earlier, it is expected that this Act will implement the principles of the

Sustainable Water and Sewage Systems Act once all regulations are put in place.

1.7 Infrastructure for Jobs and Prosperity Act (I.J.P.A.), 2015

On June 4, 2015, the province passed the Infrastructure for Jobs and Prosperity Act

(I.J.P.A.) which, over time, will require municipalities to undertake and implement asset

management plans for all infrastructure they own. On December 27, 2017, the Province

of Ontario released Ontario Regulation 588/17 under I.J.P.A. which has 3 phases that

municipalities must meet:

Every municipality in Ontario will have to prepare a strategic asset management policy

by July 1, 2019. Municipalities will be required to review their strategic asset

management policies at least every five years and make updates as necessary. The

subsequent phases are as follows:

• Phase 1 – Asset Management Plan (by July 1, 2021):

o For core assets – Municipalities must have the following:

▪ Inventory of assets;

▪ Current levels of service measured by standard metrics; and

▪ Costs to maintain levels of service.

Page 1-9



o Same steps as Phase 1 but for all assets.


o Builds on Phase 1 and 2 by adding:

▪ Proposed levels of service; and

▪ Lifecycle management and Financial strategy.

In relation to water and wastewater (which is considered a core asset), municipalities

will need to have an asset management plan that addresses the related infrastructure

by July 1, 2021 (Phase 1). O.Reg 588/17 specifies that the municipality’s asset

management plan must include the following for each asset category:

• the current levels of service being provided;

o determined in accordance with the following qualitative descriptions and

technical metrics and based on data from at most the two calendar years

prior to the year in which all information required under this section is

included in the asset management plan.

• the current performance of each asset category;

• a summary of the assets in the category,

• the replacement cost of the assets in the category,

• the average age of the assets in the category, determined by assessing the

average age of the components of the assets,

• the information available on the condition of the assets in the category, and

• a description of the municipality’s approach to assessing the condition of the

assets in the category, based on recognized and generally accepted good

engineering practices where appropriate; and

• the lifecycle activities that would need to be undertaken to maintain the current

levels of service.

Upon completion of the asset management plan for water and wastewater services, the

Municipality will need to consider the impacts on the capital plan provided herein

1.8 Forecast Growth and Servicing Requirements

The Municipality, as of December, 2017, services approximately 3,770 water customers

(871 of which are serviced through St. Thomas). There are also approximately 3,150

customers receiving wastewater services. Information on the existing number of

customers and existing billable volumes was obtained from the Municipality.

Page 1-10


For forecasting future water and wastewater/billable volumes, a historic four-year

average annual water volume per residential customer of 140 m³, has been used. The

average volume has been steadily declining over the past decade (from 175 m³ per

year).

For future water and wastewater customers to be added to the systems, consideration

has been given to development potential within the various serviced areas of the

municipality over the forecast period 2018-2027.

Table 1-2 provides for the forecast of water users and volumes within Central Elgin.

Table 1-3 provides the forecast of wastewater users and volumes.

3. Lifecycle Costing

3.1 Overview of Lifecycle Costing

3.1.1 Definition

For many years, lifecycle costing has been used in the field of maintenance engineering

and to evaluate the advantages of using alternative materials in construction or

production design. The method has gained wider acceptance and use in the areas of

industrial decision-making and the management of physical assets.

By definition, lifecycle costs are all the costs which are incurred during the lifecycle of a

physical asset, from the time its acquisition is first considered to the time it is taken out

of service for disposal or redeployment. The stages which the asset goes through in its

lifecycle are specification, design, manufacture (or build), install, commission, operate,

maintain and disposal. Figure 3-1 depicts these stages in a schematic form.

3.1.2 Financing Costs

This section will focus on financing mechanisms in place to fund the costs incurred

throughout the asset's life.

In a municipal context, services are provided to benefit tax/rate payers. Acquisition of

assets is normally timed in relation to direct needs within the community. At times,

economies of scale or technical efficiencies will lead to oversizing an asset to

accommodate future growth within the Municipality. Over the past few decades, new

financing techniques such as development charges have been employed based on the

underlying principle of having tax/rate payers who benefit directly from the service

paying for that service. Operating costs which reflect the cost of the service for that

year are charged directly to all existing tax/rate payers who have received the benefit.

Operating costs are normally charged through the tax base or user rates.

Capital expenditures are recouped through several methods; operating budget

contributions, development charges, reserves, developer contributions and debentures,

being the most common.

New construction related to growth could produce development charges and developer

contributions (e.g. works internal to a subdivision which are the responsibility of the

developer to construct) to fund a significant portion of projects, where new assets are

being acquired to allow growth within the Municipality to continue. As well, debentures

Page 3-2


could be used to fund such works, with the debt charge carrying costs recouped from

taxpayers in the future.

However, capital construction to replace existing infrastructure is largely not growth-

related and will therefore not yield development charges or developer contributions to

assist in financing these works. Hence, a Municipality will be dependent upon

debentures, reserves and contributions from the operating budget to fund these works.

Figure 3-2 depicts the costs of an asset from its initial conception through to

replacement and then continues to follow the associated costs through to the next

replacement.

As referred to earlier, growth-related financing methods such as development charges

and developer contributions could be utilized to finance the growth-related component

of the new asset. These revenues are collected (indirectly) from the new homeowner

who benefits directly from the installation of this asset. Other financing methods may be

used as well to finance the non-growth related component of this project; reserves

which have been collected from past tax/rate payers, operating budget contributions

which are collected from existing tax/rate payers and debenturing which will be carried

by future tax/rate payers. Ongoing costs for monitoring, operating and maintaining the

asset will be charged annually to the existing tax/rate payer.

When the asset requires replacement, the sources of financing will be limited to

reserves, debentures and contributions from the operating budget. At this point, the

question is raised; "If the cost of replacement is to be assessed against the tax/rate

payer who benefits from the replacement of the asset, should the past tax/rate payer

pay for this cost or should future rate payers assume this cost?" If the position is taken

that the past user has used up the asset, hence he should pay for the cost of

replacement, then a charge should be assessed annually, through the life of the asset

to have funds available to replace it when the time comes. If the position is taken that

the future tax/rate payer should assume this cost, then debenturing and, possibly, a

contribution from the operating budget should be used to fund this work.

Charging for the cost of using up of an asset is the fundamental concept behind

depreciation methods utilized by the private sector. This concept allows for expending

the asset as it is used up in the production process. The tracking of these costs forms

part of the product's selling price and hence end users are charged for the asset's

depreciation. The same concept can be applied in a municipal setting to charge

existing users for the asset's use and set those funds aside in a reserve to finance the

cost of replacing the asset in the future.

3.1.3 Costing Methods

There are two fundamental methods of calculating the cost of the usage of an asset and

for the provision of the revenue required when the time comes to retire and replace it.

The first method is the Depreciation Method. This method recognizes the reduction in

the value of the asset through wear and tear and aging. There are two commonly used

forms of depreciation: the straight-line method and the reducing balance method

(shown graphically in Figure 3-3).

The straight line method is calculated by taking the original cost of the asset, subtracting

its estimated salvage value (estimated value of the asset at the time it is disposed of)

and dividing this by the estimated number of years of useful life. The reducing balance

method is calculated by utilizing a fixed percentage rate and this rate is applied annually

to the undepreciated balance of the asset value.

The second method of lifecycle costing is the sinking fund method. This method first

estimates the future value of the asset at the time of replacement. This is done by

inflating the original cost of the asset at an assumed annual inflation rate. A calculation

is then performed to determine annual contributions (equal or otherwise) which, when

invested, will grow with interest to equal the future replacement cost.

The preferred method used herein for forecasting purposes is the sinking fund method

of lifecycle costing.

3.2 Impact on Budgets

Detailed water and wastewater systems inventory information was obtained from the

Municipality. The age of the water and wastewater systems date back to the early 1950’s

and 1970’s, respectfully. The total value of existing water infrastructure is $47.46 million,

and the value of existing wastewater infrastructure is $40.40 million.

Page 3-7


The detailed water inventory and wastewater inventory are provided in Appendices A and

B, respectively. As well, the lifecycle “sinking fund” contribution amounts for each piece

of infrastructure have also been included. These calculations determine the level of

investment the Municipality may wish to consider as part of its budgeting practices. This

information is summarized in Table 3-1.

Table 3-1 Municipality of Central Elgin

Summary of Central Elgin Water and Central Elgin Wastewater Infrastructure

It is noted that the inventory of the complete water and wastewater systems may be

required to be assessed and reported on by a professional engineer as part of the

documentation required under the Water Opportunities Act. The detailed specifics of

the reporting will not be known until the Province has set these standards by regulation.

With respect to lifecycle costing contained in the Appendices the following information

was taken under consideration:

• approximate age;

• material type;

• main lengths;

• diameter of the mains;

• number of meters;

• number of items;

• facilities and their components;

• estimated useful life; and

• estimated replacement costs.

It is also noted that the suggested amount to be included in the 10-year forecast related

to wastewater facilities, has already been accounted for through the recent work at the

wastewater treatment facility. Therefore, this amount has not been added to the capital

forecast.

4. Capital Cost Financing Options

4.1 Summary of Capital Cost Financing Alternatives

Historically, the powers that municipalities had to raise alternative revenues to taxation

to fund capital services have been restrictive. Over the past decade, legislative reforms

have been introduced. Some of these have expanded municipal powers (e.g. Bill 26

introduced in 1996 to provide for expanded powers for imposing fees and charges),

while others appear to restrict them (Bill 98 in 1997 providing amendments to the

Development Charges Act).

The Province passed a new Municipal Act which came into force on January 1, 2003.

Part XII of the Act and O.Reg. 584/06 govern a Municipality’s ability to impose fees and

charges. In contrast to the previous Municipal Act, this Act provides municipalities with

broadly defined powers and does not differentiate between fees for operating and

capital purposes. It is anticipated that the powers to recover capital costs under the

previous Municipal Act will continue within the new Statutes and Regulations, as

indicated by s.9(2) and s.452 of the new Municipal Act.

Under s.484 of Municipal Act, 2001, the Local Improvement Act was repealed with the

in force date of the Municipal Act (January 1, 2003). The municipal powers granted

under the Local Improvement Act now fall under the jurisdiction of the Municipal Act. To

this end, on December 20, 2002, O.Reg. 390/02 was filed, which allowed for the Local

Improvement Act to be deemed to remain in force until April 1, 2003. However, O.Reg.

119/03 was enacted on April 19, 2003 which restores many of the previous Local

Improvement Act provisions; however, the authority is now provided under the Municipal

Act.

The methods of capital cost recovery available to municipalities are provided as follows:

4.2 Development Charges Act, 1997

In November, 1996, the Ontario Government introduced Bill 98, a new Development

Charges Act. The Province’s stated intentions were to “create new construction jobs

and make home ownership more affordable” by reducing the charges and to “make

municipal Council decisions more accountable and more cost effective.” The basis for

this Act is to allow municipalities to recover the growth-related capital cost of

infrastructure necessary to accommodate new growth within the Municipality. Generally

the new Act provided the following changes to the former Act:

• Replace those sections of the 1989 D.C.A. which govern municipal development

charges. (Education development charges are not to be significantly altered at

this time);

• Limit services which can be financed from development charges, specifically

excluding parkland acquisition, administration buildings, and cultural,

entertainment, tourism, solid waste management and hospital facilities;

• Ensure that the level of service used in the calculation of capital costs will not

exceed the average level of service over the previous decade. Level of service is

to be measured from both a quality and quantity perspective;

• Provide that uncommitted excess capacity available in existing municipal facilities

and benefits to existing residents are removed from the calculation of the charge;

• Ensure that the development charge revenues collected by municipalities are

spent only on those capital costs identified in the calculation of the development

charge;

• Require municipalities to contribute funds (e.g. taxes, user charges or other non-

development charge revenues) to the financing of certain projects primarily

funded from development charges. The municipal contribution is 10 percent for

services such as recreation, parkland development, libraries, etc.;

• Permit (but apparently not require) municipalities to grant developers credits for

the direct provision of services identified in the development charge calculation

and, when credits are granted, require the Municipality to reimburse the

developer for the costs the Municipality would have incurred if the project had

been financed from the development charge reserve fund;

• Set out provisions for front-end financing capital projects (limited to essential

services) required to service new development; and

• Set out provisions for appeals and complaints, and transitional rules, including

that municipalities will have up to 18 months from the date of proclamation of the

new Act to establish new development charge by-laws, otherwise the old by-laws

will expire.

Page 4-3


4.3 Municipal Act

4.3.1 Part XII of the Municipal Act provides municipalities with broad powers to impose

fees and charges via passage of a by-law. These powers, as presented in s.391(1),

include imposing fees or charges:

• “for services or activities provided or done by or on behalf of it;

• for costs payable by it for services or activities provided or done by or on behalf

of any other municipality or local board; and

• for the use of its property including property under its control.”

Restrictions are provided to ensure that the form of the charge is not akin to a poll tax.

Any charges not paid under this authority may be added to the tax roll and collected in a

like manner. The fees and charges imposed under this part are not appealable to the

Land Planning Appeal Tribunal (L.P.A.T. formerly known as the O.M.B.).

4.3.2 s.221 of the previous Municipal Act, permitted municipalities to impose charges,

by by-law, on owners or occupants of land who would or might derive benefit from the

construction of sewage (storm and sanitary) or water works being authorized (in a

Specific Benefit Area). For a by-law imposed under this section of the previous Act:

• A variety of different means could be used to establish the rate and recovery of

the costs could be imposed by a number of methods at the discretion of Council

(i.e. lot size, frontage, number of benefiting properties, etc.);

• Rates could be imposed in respect to costs of major capital works, even though

an immediate benefit was not enjoyed;

• Non-abutting owners could be charged;

• Recovery was authorized against existing works, where a new water or sewer

main was added to such works, "notwithstanding that the capital costs of existing

works has in whole or in part been paid."

• Charges on individual parcels could be deferred;

• Exemptions could be established;

• Repayment was secured; and

• L.P.A.T. approval was not required.

While under the new Municipal Act no provisions are provided specific to the previous

s.221, the intent to allow capital cost recovery through fees and charges is embraced

within s.391. The new Municipal Act also maintains the ability of municipalities to

impose capital charges for water and sewer services on landowners not receiving an

immediate benefit from the works. Under s.391(2) of the Act, “a fee or charge imposed

Page 4-4


under subsection (1) for capital costs related to sewage or water services or activities

may be imposed on persons not receiving an immediate benefit from the services or

activities but who will receive a benefit at some later point in time.” Also, capital

charges imposed under s.391 are not appealable to the L.P.A.T. on the grounds that the

charges are “unfair or unjust”.

4.3.3 s.222 of the previous Municipal Act permitted municipalities to pass a by-law

requiring buildings to connect to the Municipality's sewer and water systems, charging

the owner for the cost of constructing services from the mains to the property line.

Under the new Municipal Act, this power still exists under Part II, General Municipal

Powers (s.9 (3) b of the Municipal Act). Enforcement and penalties for this use of power

are contained in s.427 (1) of the Municipal Act.

4.3.4 Under the previous Local Improvement Act:

• A variety of different types of works could be undertaken, such as watermain,

storm and sanitary sewer projects, supply of electrical light or power, bridge

construction, sidewalks, road widening and paving;

• Council could pass a by-law for undertaking such work on petition of a majority of

benefiting taxpayers, on a 2/3 vote of Council and on sanitary grounds, based on

the recommendation of the Minister of Health. The by-law was required to go to

the L.P.A.T., which might hold hearings and alter the by-law, particularly if there

were objections;

• The entire cost of a work was assessed only upon the lots abutting directly on the

work, according to the extent of their respective frontages, using an equal special

rate per metre of frontage; and

• As noted, this Act was repealed as of April 1, 2003; however, O.Reg. 119/03 was

enacted on April 19, 2003 which restores many of the previous Local

Improvement Act provisions; however, the authority is now provided under the

Municipal Act.

4.4 Grant Funding Availability

Federal Infrastructure Funding

Phase 1 (April 1, 2016 – March 31, 2018)

Funding was provided by the Government of Canada to expressly help municipalities

with repair and rehabilitation projects. Funding was mainly provided through the Clean

Water and Wastewater Fund (C.W.W.F.) and Public Transit Infrastructure Fund

(P.T.I.F.) in Federal Phase 1 projects. The C.W.W.F. was announced in Ontario on

Page 4-5


September 15, 2016. The Fund is $1.1 billion for water, wastewater, and storm water

systems in Ontario. The federal government provided $569 million and Ontario and

municipal governments provided $275 million each.

Over 1,300 water, wastewater, and storm water projects have been approved in Ontario

through the C.W.W.F. In Ontario, P.T.I.F. accounted for nearly $1.5 billion of the

national total of $3.4 billion. The program was allocated by ridership numbers from the

Canadian Urban Transit Association. A.M.O. understands that $1 billion of Ontario’s

share has been approved.

Phase 2: Next Steps

The federal government announced Phase 2 of its infrastructure funding plan with a

total of $180 billion spent over 11 years. In addition to the balance of funding for

previous Green, Social, and Public Transit Infrastructure Funds ($20 billion each,

including Phase 1), the government has added $10.1 billion for Trade and

Transportation Infrastructure and $2 billion for Rural and Northern. This funding must be

implemented by agreements with each province and territory. Negotiations are ongoing,

and funding is designed to start flowing after the 2018 Budget, ramping up in the out

years.

In Phase 2, Ontario will be eligible for $11.8 billion including $8.3 billion for transit, $2.8

billion for green infrastructure, $407 million for community, culture and recreation and

$250 million for rural and northern communities.

Federal Gas Tax

The Federal Gas Tax is a permanent source of funding provided up front, twice-a-year,

to provinces and territories, who in turn flow this funding to their municipalities to

support local infrastructure priorities. Municipalities can pool, bank and borrow against

this funding, providing significant financial flexibility. Every year, the Federal Gas Tax

provides over $2 billion and supports approximately 2,500 projects in communities

across Canada. Each municipality selects how best to direct the funds with the flexibility

provided to make strategic investments across 18 different project categories, which

include other water and wastewater servicing.

Ontario Government

The Province has taken steps to increase municipal infrastructure funding. The Ontario

Community Infrastructure Fund (O.C.I.F.) was increased in 2016 with formula-based

support growing to $200 million, and application funding growing to $100 million

Page 4-6


annually by 2018-19. As well, $15 million annually will go to the new Connecting Links

program to help pay for the construction and repair costs of municipal roads that

connect communities to provincial highways. This is on top of the Building Ontario Up

investment of $130 billion in public infrastructure over 10 years starting in 2015.

4.5 Existing Reserves/Reserve Funds

The Municipality has established reserves and reserve funds for water and wastewater

costs. The following table summarizes the water and wastewater reserves utilized in

this analysis and their respective balances at December 31, 2017:

4.6 Debenture Financing

Although it is not a direct method of minimizing the overall cost to the ratepayer,

debentures are used by municipalities to assist in cash flowing large capital

expenditures.

The Ministry of Municipal Affairs regulates the level of debt incurred by Ontario

municipalities, through its powers established under the Municipal Act. Ontario

Regulations 403/02 provides the current rules respecting municipal debt and financial

obligations. Through the rules established under these regulations, a Municipality’s

debt capacity is capped at a level where no more than 25% of the Municipality’s own

purpose revenue may be allotted for servicing the debt (i.e. debt charges). The

Municipality of Central Elgin’s 2014 calculation on Debt Capacity, as shown on

Schedule 81 of the Municipality’s 2016 Financial Information Return (F.I.R.). This

calculates to the Municipality’s estimated annual repayment limit of approximately $2.6

million.

4.7 Infrastructure Ontario

Infrastructure Ontario (I.O.) is an arms-length crown corporation, which has been set up

as a tool to offer low-cost and longer-term financing to assist municipalities in renewing

their infrastructure (this corporation has merged the former O.S.I.F.A. into its

operations) I.O. combines the infrastructure renewal needs of municipalities into an

infrastructure investment “pool”. I.O. will raise investment capital to finance loans to the

public sector by selling a new investment product called Infrastructure Renewal Bonds

to individual and institutional investors.

I.O. provides access to infrastructure capital that would not otherwise be available to

smaller borrowers. Larger borrowers receive a longer term on their loans than they

could obtain in the financial markets, and can also benefit from significant savings on

transaction costs such as legal costs and underwriting commissions. Under the I.O.

approach, all borrowers receive the same low interest rate. I.O. will enter into financial

agreement with each Municipality subject to technical and credit reviews, for a loan up

to the maximum amount of the loan request.

The first round of the former O.S.I.F.A.’s 2004-05 infrastructure renewal program was

focused on municipal priorities of clean water infrastructure, sewage treatment facilities,

municipal roads and bridges, public transit and waste management infrastructure. The

focus of the program was expanded in 2005/2006 somewhat to include:

• clean water infrastructure;

• sewage infrastructure;

• waste management infrastructure;

• municipal roads and bridges;

• public transit;

• municipal long-term care homes;

• renewal of municipal social housing and culture; and

• tourism and recreation infrastructure.

With the merging of O.S.I.F.A. and I.O., the program was broadened in late 2006 to also

include municipal administrative buildings, local police and fire stations, emergency

vehicles and equipment, ferries, docks and municipal airports.

To be eligible to receive these loans, municipalities must submit a formal application

along with pertinent financial information. Allotments are prioritized and distributed

based upon the Province’s assessment of need.

The analysis provided herein assumes that the Municipality will borrow approximately

$2.48 million for water services over the forecast, for a ten-year term at 4.0%. Appendix

C, Tables C-3 and C-4 provide the estimated repayment schedule for these loans. For

Page 4-8


wastewater services it is assumed that the Municipality will borrow approximately $1.75

million over the forecast, at the same term and rate as assumed for water.

4.8 Recommended Capital Financing Approach

Of the various funding alternatives provided in this section, the following are

recommended for further consideration by the Municipality of Central Elgin for the

capital expenditures provided in Chapter 2:

Tables 4-1 and 4-2 provide for the full capital expenditure and funding program by year

for water and wastewater respectively.

5. Overview of Expenditures and Revenues

5.1 Water Operating Expenditures

In this report, the forecasted water budget figures (2018-2027) are based on the 2018

Operating Budget. Note that these operating costs include the costs associated with the

rate that the City of St. Thomas imposes on the Central Elgin customers in the St. Thomas

suburban area. The costs for each component of the operating budget have been

reviewed with staff to establish forecast inflationary adjustments (2% annual inflation has

been applied) to all expenses except the purchase of water from the Elgin Area Primary

System which includes inflationary factors equal to the rate study undertaken. These

inflationary rates include an estimated annual increase of 4.75% for 2018 and 2019,

3.75% for 2020-2022, and 3.25% thereafter. It is noted that operating budget funding

shortfalls over the past couple of years have been experienced in water system and is

expected to continue for the 2018 through to the 2021. These shortfalls may be required

to be cash flowed by the financial reserves and reserve funds for water and the property

tax base for these years. If property tax funding is required, the analysis herein

anticipates that the water rates would be able to provide a full payback to the property tax

over the forecast period. It is also noted that there will be a need to cash flow a portion

of the growth-related debt payments from the water reserves, until such time as

development charges are collected for the full growth component of capital infrastructure.

5.2 Water Operating Revenues

The Municipality has miscellaneous revenue sources to contribute towards operating

expenditures. A number of these have been inflated over the period (by 2%), while

others have been held constant. A summary of the miscellaneous revenues sources

which have and have not had inflation applied to them over the forecast is presented

below. The Base Charge Revenue is discussed further in Chapter 6. Table 5-1

provides for the operating budget for the water system.

Forecast

Page 5-6


5.3 Wastewater Operating Expenditures

Similar to the budget forecasting approach presented above for water services, the costs

for wastewater operating expenditures have been adjusted over the forecast by an annual

inflationary factor of 2%. It is noted that operating budget is anticipated to result in minor

funding shortfalls between 2021 and 2025 forecast years. These shortfalls have been

cash flowed by the financial reserves and reserve funds (see Appendix D-5) for

wastewater and may require minor cash flow assistance from the property tax base.

Actual revenues and expenditures should be monitored closely to determine what level

of assistance from property taxes may be required. If property tax funding is required,

the analysis herein anticipates that the wastewater rates would be able to provide a full

payback to the property tax base by 2026. It is also noted that, due to the recent

debenture for the wastewater plant, there will be a need to cash flow a portion of the

growth-related debt payments from property taxes, until development charges are

collected for the full growth component of capital infrastructure. The payback of this

assistance will be based on the rate of growth and should be monitored on an annual

basis.

5.4 Wastewater Operating Revenues

The revenue for the wastewater program has been forecasted based on growth, in the

case of base charges (discussed further in Chapter 6) and volume charges (Chapter 7).

As well, the miscellaneous revenues have been inflated annually by 2% annually. There

are several local improvement charges and connection charges outstanding that will be

received over the 2018 to 2024 forecast. These revenues have been included based on

repayment schedules agreed upon with the individual property owners.

Tables 5-2 provides the operating budget for the wastewater system.

6. Pricing Structures

6.1 Introduction

Rates, in their simplest form, can be defined as total costs to maintain the utility function

divided by the total expected volume to be generated for the period. Total costs are

usually a combination of operating costs (e.g. staff costs, distribution costs,

maintenance, administration, etc.) and capital-related costs (e.g. past debt to finance

capital projects, transfers to reserves to finance future expenditures, etc.). The

schematic below provides a simplified illustration of the rate calculation for water.

Capital Related

• New capital will be built as areas expand;

• Replacement capital needed as system ages; and

• Financing of capital costs are a function of policy regarding reserves and direct

financing from rates (pay as you go), debt and user pay methods (development

charges, Municipal Act).

6.2 Alternative Pricing Structures

Throughout Ontario, and as well, Canada, the use of pricing mechanisms varies

between municipalities. The use of a particular form of pricing depends upon numerous

factors, including Council preference, administrative structure, surplus/deficit system

capacities, economic/ demographic conditions, to name a few.

Municipalities within Ontario have two basic forms of collecting revenues for water

purposes, those being through incorporation of the costs within the tax rate charged on

property assessment and/or through the establishment of a specific water rate billed to

the customer. Within the rate methods, there are five basic rate structures employed

along with other variations:

• Flat Rate (non-metered customers);

• Constant Rate;

• Declining Block Rate;

• Increasing (or Inverted) Block Rate;

• Hump Back Block Rate; and

• Base Charges.

The definitions and general application of the various methods are as follows:

Property Assessment: This method incorporates the total costs of providing water into

the general requisition or the assessment base of the Municipality. This form of

collection is a "wealth tax", as payment increases directly with the value of property

owned and bears no necessary relationship to actual consumption. This form is easy to

administer as the costs to be recovered are incorporated in the calculation for all

general services, normally collected through property taxes.

Flat Rate: This rate is a constant charge applicable to all customers served. The

charge is calculated by dividing the total number of user households and other entities

(e.g. businesses) into the costs to be recovered. This method does not recognize

differences in actual consumption but provides for a uniform spreading of costs across

Page 6-3


all users. Some municipalities define users into different classes of similar consumption

patterns, that is, a commercial user, residential user and industrial user, and charge a

flat rate by class. Each user is then billed on a periodic basis. No meters are required

to facilitate this method, but an accurate estimate of the number of users is required.

This method ensures set revenue for the collection period but is not sensitive to

consumption, hence may cause a shortfall or surplus of revenues collected.

Constant Rate: This rate is a volume-based rate, in which the consumer pays the

same price per unit consumed, regardless of the volume. The price per unit is

calculated by dividing the total cost of the service by the total volume used by total

consumers. The bill to the consumer climbs uniformly as the consumption increases.

This form of rate requires the use of meters to record the volume consumed by each

user. This method closely aligns the revenue recovery with consumption. Revenue

collected varies directly with the consumption volume.

Declining Block Rates: This rate structure charges a successively lower price for set

volumes, as consumption increases through a series of "blocks". That is to say that

within set volume ranges, or blocks, the charge per unit is set at one rate. Within the

next volume range the charge per unit decreases to lower rate, and so on. Typically,

the first, or first and second blocks cover residential and light commercial uses.

Subsequent blocks normally are used for heavier commercial and industrial uses. This

rate structure requires the use of meters to record the volume consumed by each type

of user. This method requires the collection and analysis of consumption patterns by

user classification to establish rates at a level which does not over or under collect

revenue from rate payers.

Increasing or Inverted Block Rates: The increasing block rate works essentially the

same way as the declining block rate, except that the price of water in successive

blocks increases rather than declines. Under this method the consumer's bill rises

faster with higher volumes used. This rate structure also requires the use of meters to

record the volume consumed by each user. This method requires, as with the declining

block structure, the collection and analysis of consumption patterns by user

classification to establish rates at a level which does not over or under collect from rate

payers.

The Hump Back Rate: The hump back rate is a combination of an increasing block

rate and the declining block rate. Under this method the consumer’s bill rises with

higher volumes used up to a certain level and then begins to fall for volumes in excess

of levels set for the increasing black rate.

Page 6-4


6.3 Assessment of Alternative Pricing Structures

The adoption by a Municipality or utility of any one particular pricing structure is

normally a function of a variety of administrative, social, demographic and financial

factors. The number of factors and the weighting each particular factor receives can

vary between municipalities. The following is a review of some of the more prevalent

factors:

Cost Recovery

Cost recovery is a prime factor in establishing a particular pricing structure. Costs can

be loosely defined into different categories: operations, maintenance, capital, financing

and administration. These costs often vary between municipalities and even within a

municipality, based on consumption patterns, infrastructure age, economic growth, etc.

The pricing alternatives defined earlier can all achieve the cost recovery goal, but some

do so more precisely than others. Fixed pricing structures, such as Property

Assessment and Flat Rate, are established on the value of property or on the number of

units present in the municipality, but do not adjust in accordance with consumption.

Thus, if actual consumption for the year is greater than projected, the municipality incurs

a higher cost of production, but the revenue base remains static (since it was

determined at the beginning of the year), thus potentially providing a funding shortfall.

Conversely, if the consumption level declines below projections, fixed pricing structures

will produce more revenue than actual costs incurred.

The other pricing methods (declining block, constant rate, increasing block) are

consumption based and generally will generate revenues in proportion to actual

consumption.

Administration

Administration is defined herein as the staffing, equipment and supplies required to

support the undertaking of a particular pricing strategy. This factor not only addresses

the physical tangible requirements to support the collection of the revenues, but also the

intangible requirements, such as policy development.

The easiest pricing structure to support is the Property Assessment structure. As

municipalities undertake the process of calculating property tax bills and the collection

process for their general services, the incorporation of the water costs into this

calculation would have virtually no impact on the administrative process and structure.

Page 6-5


The Flat Rate pricing structure is relatively easy to administer as well. It is normally

calculated to collect a set amount, either on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual

basis and is billed directly to the customer. The impact on administration centres mostly

on the accounts receivable or billing area of the municipality, but normally requires

minor additional staff or operating costs to undertake.

The three remaining methods, those being Increasing Block Rate, Constant Rate and

Declining Block Rate, have a more dramatic effect on administration. These methods

are dependent upon actual consumption and hence involve a major structure in place to

administer. First, meters must be installed in all existing units in the municipality and

units to be subsequently built must be required to include these meters. Second, meter

readings must be undertaken periodically. Hence staff must be available for this

purpose or a service contract must be negotiated. Third, the billings process must be

expanded to accommodate this process. Billing must be done per a defined period,

requiring staff to produce the bills. Lastly, either through increased staffing or by service

contract, an annual maintenance program must be set up to ensure meters are working

effectively in recording consumed volumes.

The benefit derived from the installation of meters is that information on consumption

patterns becomes available. This information provides benefit to administration in

calculating rates which will ensure revenue recovery. Additionally, when planning what

services are to be constructed in future years, the municipality or utility has documented

consumption patterns distinctive to its own situation, which can be used to project sizing

of growth-related works.

Equity

Equity is always a consideration in the establishment of pricing structures but its

definition can vary depending on a municipality's circumstances and based on the

subjective interpretation of those involved. For example: is the price charged to a

particular class of rate payer consistent with those of a similar class in surrounding

municipalities; through the pricing structure does one class of rate payer pay more than

another class; should one pay based on ability to pay, or on the basis that a unit of

water costs the same to supply no matter who consumes it; etc. There are many

interpretations. Equity therefore must be viewed broadly in light of many factors as part

of achieving what is best for the municipality as a whole.

Conservation

Page 6-6


In today's society, conservation of natural resources is increasingly being more highly

valued. Controversy continuously focuses on the preservation of non-renewable

resources and on the proper management of renewable resources. Conservation is

also a concept which applies to a municipality facing physical limitations in the amount

of water which can be supplied to an area. As well, financial constraints can encourage

conservation in a municipality where the cost of providing each additional unit is

increasing.

Pricing structures such as property assessment and flat rate do not, in themselves,

encourage conservation. In fact, depending on the price which is charged, they may

even encourage resource "squandering," either because consumers, without the price

discipline, consume water at will, or the customer wants to get his money's worth and

hence adopts more liberal consumption patterns. The fundamental reason for this is

that the price paid for the service bears no direct relationship to the volume consumed

and hence is viewed as a "tax," instead of being viewed as the price of a purchased

commodity.

The Declining Block Rate provides a decreasing incentive towards conservation. By

creating awareness of volumes consumed, the consumer can reduce his total costs by

restricting consumption; however the incentive lessens as more water is consumed,

because the marginal cost per unit declines as the consumer enters the next block

pricing range. Similarly, those whose consumption level is at the top end of a block

have reduced incentive to reduce consumption.

The Constant Rate structure presents the customer with a linear relationship between

consumption and the cost thereof. As the consumer pays a fixed cost per unit, his bill

will vary directly with the amount consumed. This method presents tangible incentive

for consumers to conserve water. As metering provides direct feedback as to usage

patterns and the consumer has direct control over the total amount paid for the

commodity, the consumer is encouraged to use only those volumes that are reasonably

required.

The Inverted Block method presents the most effective pricing method for encouraging

conservation. Through this method, the price per unit consumed increases as total

volumes consumed grow. The consumer becomes aware of consumption through

metering with the charges increasing dramatically with usage. Hence, there normally is

awareness that exercising control over usage can produce significant savings. This

method not only encourages conservation methods, but may also penalize legitimate

high volume users if not properly structured.

Figure 6-1 provides a schematic representation of the various rate structures (note

property tax as a basis for revenue recovery has not been presented for comparison, as

the proportion of taxes paid varies in direct proportion to the market value of the

property). The graphs on the left-hand side of the figure present the cost per unit for

each additional amount of water consumed. The right-hand side of the figure presents

the impact on the customer's bill as the volume of water increases. The schematic is

6.4 Rate Structures in Ontario

In a past survey of over 170 municipalities (approximately half of the municipalities who

provide water and/or sewer), all forms of rate structures are in use by Ontario

municipalities. The most common rate structure is the constant rate (for metered

municipalities). Most municipalities (approximately 92%) who have volume rate

structures also impose a base monthly charge.

Historically, the development of a base charge often reflected either the recovery of

meter reading/billing/collection costs, plus administration or those costs plus certain

fixed costs (such as capital contributions or reserve contributions). More recently, many

municipalities have started to establish base charges based on ensuring a secure

portion of the revenue stream which does not vary with volume consumption. Selection

of the quantum of the base charge is a matter of policy selected by individual

municipalities.

6.5 Recommended Rate Structures

The Municipality presently uses a monthly base charge along with a volume charge for

both water and wastewater customers. Note that customers serviced by the City of St.

Thomas in the suburban area are billed directly by St. Thomas.

The present rate structure is provided below:

The use of the base charge and a volume charge for water and a flat rate for

wastewater is recommended to be continued for the water system. The water rates

encourage conservation and provide incentive to maintain water use at reasonable

levels.

As noted in Chapter 5 and for use in Chapter 7, Tables 6-1 and 6-2 provide for the

calculation of the base charge revenues for water and wastewater, respectfully. The base

charges have been adjusted by 5% annually for inflation in each year of the forecast 2018

to 2021 and then 2% annually thereafter. The number of customers serviced annually

are provided in Tables 1-1 and 1-2.

Staff requested that an alternative base charge rate be calculated for the water system

which varies the rates by meter size. This analysis has been provided in Appendix E.

7. Analysis of Water and Wastewater Rates and Policy Matters

7.1 Introduction

To summarize the analysis undertaken thus far, Chapter 2 reviewed capital-related

issues and responds to the provincial directives to maintain and upgrade infrastructure

to required levels. Chapter 4 provided a review of capital financing options to which

lifecycle reserve contributions will be the predominant basis for financing future capital

replacement. Chapter 5 established the 10-year operating forecast of expenditures

including an annual lifecycle capital replacement reserve contribution. Non-rate

revenues (including base charge revenues) to assist in offsetting the charges for

volumetric rates were also identified in Chapter 5. The base charge revenues are to

ensure that fixed costs are recovered regardless of the amount of volume used by

customers. This chapter will provide for the calculation of the volume rates over the

forecast period. These calculations will be based on the net operating expenditures (the

variable costs) provided in Chapter 5, divided by the water consumption forecast and

wastewater volumes provided in Section 1.7.

7.2 Water Rates

Based on the discussion of rate structures provided in section 6.5 and the

recommendation to continue with the present structures, the rates are calculated by

taking the net recoverable amounts from Table 5-1 and 5-2 (the product of total

expenditures plus lifecycle costs less non-rate revenues and, for the Central Elgin’s

water system, deduct the base charge amounts provided in section 6.5) and completes

the calculation by dividing them by the volumes resulting in the forested rates. The

volume rates are presented in Table 7-1.

To be sustainable, the water volume rates are forecasted to increase at 10% annually

for 2018 to 2022, 6% annually for 2023 to 2024, and then 2% annually thereafter.

Detailed calculations of the volume rates are provided in Appendix C. An example of

the recommended base charge and volume rates are presented in Table 7-2 along with

an average annual residential water bill for a customer with annual volumes of 140m3:

Table 7-2 Calculated Water Rates and Average Annual Residential Water Bill

7.3 Wastewater Rates

The recommendation to continue with the present structure for wastewater results in the

volume rates as calculated below in Table 7-3. The calculation of the rates takes the

net recoverable amounts from Table 5-3 (the product of total expenditures plus lifecycle

transfers to reserves) and completes the calculation by dividing them by the volumes,

resulting in a calculated volume rate per cubic meter. Detailed calculations are provided

in Appendix D.

To be sustainable, the wastewater volumes rates are forecasted to increase at 8%

annually for 2018 to 2020, 5% annually for 2021 to 2022, and then 2% annually

thereafter.

Appendix E – Alternate Calculation for the Water System – Water Base Charge

Municipal staff requested that an alternative base charge rate be calculated for the

water system based on varying the rates by meter size. Where an increasing base

charge by meter size is desired, this can be established by calculation or by policy. If a

calculation is desired, the American Waterworks Association has provided a basis for

this in their “Principles of Water Rates, Fees and Charges” Manual of Practice. An

example service ratio charge (page 57 of the above-noted document) is provided below.

This chart closely resembles the relationship of many increasing base charge rates in

use throughout Ontario. The breakdown of Central Elgin water customers by metre size

was provided by staff to undertake these calculations. Table E-1 provides for the

calculation of varying base charges based on these ratios.

The difference between the base charge revenue generated under the current, constant

rate structure and the optional varying charge rate structure is summarized in Table 7-6.

For 2018, this type of base charge structure would generate approximately $24,000 in

additional revenue. At the current inflationary rates recommended for the base charges

(as set out in Table 6-1), over the forecast, this amount would grow with approximately

$31,400 additional revenue being generated.

The additional revenue could be used to increase transfers to lifecycle reserves to

assist in funding future asset replacement needs, reduce minor shortfalls anticipated

over the forecast, reduce reliance on future debt requirements, or reduce increases

required to the volume rates. If this structure was imposed and the funds were used to

reduce the rate increases to the volume rate, it would equate to an 8.5% increase in
