FLORIDA WATER AND WASTEWATER
RATE SURVEY
2018
The 2018 Florida Water and Wastewater Rate Survey (2018 Survey) is developed to provide insight into water and wastewater pricing practices currently utilized by publicly owned utilities in the State of Florida.
The goal of this survey is focused on typical residential potable water/wastewater bills and rate structures for over 220 Florida public utilities. The respondents include small utilities serving a population less than 10,000 to the largest utilities in Florida with service populations of more than 1 million. The survey results included in the table at the end of this docu-ment are sorted alphabetically by county and thereafter listed by the city or utility name. The rates shown are exclusive of utility taxes or outside-city rates for those jurisdictions that have such charges. Following this introduction is a dis-cussion on why water rates differ together with a narrative summarizing the survey results. Also included are statistics such as the gallons included in the first usage block, revenue recovery from fixed charges, minimum water bill levels, and other information. The survey table at the end of this document includes information related to water management district, resi-dential monthly minimum water and sewer bill amounts, and bill amounts for usage at 4,000 and 8,000 gallons.
We would like to thank all of the participants in the 2018 Survey. Thissurvey was completed with the valuable assistance of Robin Chacko,Joe Williams, Michelle Galvin, Ashley Felts, and David George of Raftelis;and special thanks to Dr. Misti Sharp, Melissa McGinnis, Dr. Christa Court, Justin Burt, Delaney Fuhrmeister, and Daniel Moore of the Food and Resource Economics Department at the Institute of Food and Agricul-tural Sciences at the University of Florida.
We hope that you will find these results informative and look forward to continuing this biennial survey in the future.

The 2018 Survey is focused on publicly owned utilities. Often utility infrastructure is the most valuable asset in a community. The rates established by each community for utility service are essential for operations, maintenance, and renewal of the utility infrastructure investment. There are many factors that have an effect on the level of utility rates; however, based on our experience, the items described in this section summarize the more salient factors affecting potable water rates.

SOURCE OF SUPPLY AND WATER QUALITYThe source of a large portion of potable water supply in Flor-ida is from underground aquifer systems. Surface water and brackish groundwater are becoming more common sources as populations have increased and groundwater sources are not as plentiful. The quality of water and level of treatment nec-essary to meet regulatory requirements and maintain public acceptance varies greatly throughout the state due to the var-ious sources. For example, communities located inland often require lower levels of treatment compared to those along the coast with more brackish water. Other communities may have regulatory limits on the amount of high quality water available through their consumption use permits. Many com-munities are required to identify and plan for alternative water supplies, with these alternatives being much more expensive to treat than existing sources of supply. Finally, depending on the location of the source of supply, an expensive transmis-sion system may be required to deliver potable water to the customer service area.
Factors Affecting Rates
012018 FLORIDA WATER AND WASTEWATER RATE SURVEY
A common factor affecting both the capital and operating costs of utilities is the number of connections within their service area. Utilities such as compact cities with high densities enjoy certain economies due to factors such as shorter piping systems and less travel time for servicing the system and customers. This connection density factor should be considered when comparing rates especially involving a combination of county and city systems.
CONNECTION DENSITY
In prior decades throughout Florida, utility capital funding was primarily focused on meeting the demands of growth. Much of the cost of providing infrastructure for growth could be mitigated by a combination of impact fees, developer contributions, and careful expansion planning. With the aging of infrastructure, increases in regulatory requirements, and the slowing of growth, com-munities are increasingly concerned with both upgrading and replacement of infrastructure. The burden of upgrading and replacing infrastructure is typically borne by existing customers through utility rate revenues. Moreover, these capital costs are higher than the original cost due to inflation and the difficulty of replacing underground piping compared to the original installation cost on undeveloped land. While these challenges are growing, there is increasing pressure to maintain rates and avoid rate adjustments. Infrastructure replacement can often be delayed from one year to the next as budget pressures grow; however, such postponements generally create the need for larger rate increases in the future.
INFRASTRUCTURE REPLACEMENT
EFFLUENT DISPOSAL
While the source of water is a potentially large differentiator in potable water costs, the disposal of treated effluent is one of the most significant drivers of wastewater costs. Some of the least expensive effluent disposal methods include land applications with minimal pollutant removal. Many communities have limited land available for effluent disposal and rely on nearby surface waters to discharge treated wastewater. Enforcement of regulations and recent legislation is either restricting these discharge points or even eliminating surface water discharging in many com-munities. Alternatives include capital-intensive discharge solutions such as deep injection wells.
REGULATORY STRINGENCY
Water utilities must provide drinking water that is safe for its customers and meet reporting and testing requirements. Regulatory requirements such as the EPA Disinfection By-Products Rule (DBPR) affect various communities differently based on the source of its water supply, age of the distribution system, and other factors. Meeting DBPR and other regulatory requirements can require both capital and operating investments that lead to higher user rates.
DECREASING PER CAPITA CONSUMPTIONMany utilities are facing declining per capita potable water consumption due to multiple factors. Because most utility costs are fixed, communities must increase rates to compensate for the loss in revenue from reduced usage. This is especially valid for those utilities that have been heav-ily reliant on inverted (conservation) rates as a cost recovery source. There are several reasons for decreasing per capita consumption including more water efficient appliances and irrigation systems installed during renovations or through utility incentive programs. Further contributing to declining consumption is increased awareness due to conservation outreach efforts. Utility customers are responding to ongoing conservation messages.
02 2018 FLORIDA WATER AND WASTEWATER RATE SURVEY
Over the past several years, water shortages and watering restrictions throughout Florida have been declared at various levels by the water management districts. Water restrictions include limitations on days and hours of irrigation use, and announced water shortages are accompanied by pleas to reduce consumption by set percentage amounts. Since most utility costs are fixed and by definition remain constant regardless of certain deviations in demand, the effect of lower water sales due to water shortages tend to require higher rates to support those fixed costs.
WATER RESTRICTIONS
Potable water rates are also dependent on the extent a community has been able to use technol-ogy and effective management to achieve a high level of service at the lowest possible cost. Most communities are reporting the ability to accomplish more while relying on fewer resources. For example, many utilities have implemented automated meter reading (AMR) systems to reduce operating costs and increase meter reading accuracy. Implementation of supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) technology can increase system monitoring capabilities while lowering operating costs. Other efficiencies that can affect rates include minimizing unbilled water and exploring wholesale arrangements to sell excess capacity.
EFFICIENCIES
The full accounting of indirect costs within a potable water utility can vary tremendously among various communities. For city and county utilities, there are many supporting departments that may or may not be recognized in the budget process. Even when recognized, the cost of such support services may not be accurate. In one community such costs may be understated while in others they may be overstated due to budget pressures. In addition, many communities include a payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT), payment in lieu of franchise fees (PILOFF), or simply a transfer to the general fund. The amounts and methodology of such transfers vary considerably, and have a direct effect on utility rates.
BUDGET AND TRANSFER POLICIES
A significant number of Florida utilities were initially constructed to minimum standards by the primary land developer in order to support land sales. Many of these utilities were subsequently acquired by local governments at prices that included contributions made by existing custom-ers. The inclusion of these customer contributions in the acquisition price was determined to be appropriate by the Florida Supreme Court. These acquisitions together with costs incurred for upgrading the utility to municipal standards is another factor contributing to rate levels.
ACQUISITIONS AND CONTRIBUTIONS
The local political climate will have an effect on utility rates. Policymakers generally desire to have rates at a minimum level, or at least avoid rate increases, while still maintaining quality service. However, if a community values redundancy in its service or extra protection for its water supply, then it may be willing to have slightly higher rates, if necessary. Often this must be accomplished by careful planning and occasional modest rate adjustments. Many communities in the survey indi-cate that rates are indexed annually to an inflation index or by an established inflation percentage. However, there is often very strong resistance to rate increases until utility assets begin failing, or regulatory mandates dictate the implementation of costly upgrades. Localized political pressures will affect rates either directly or indirectly.
POLITICAL ACTION
032018 FLORIDA WATER AND WASTEWATER RATE SURVEY
A benchmark of 4,000 gallons per month is used as a representation of indoor usage levels. This amount equates to an average demand of 131 gallons per day. A secondary benchmark of 8,000 gallons, or 263 gallons per day, has also been used in order to provide additional information for higher levels of service. Most utilities measure metered water use in terms of gallon increments. Approximately 3% of surveyed utilities report metered water use in terms of hundreds of cubic feet (ccf) rather than thousands of gallons. For these utilities, the usage rate data was calculated based on 5.35 ccf and 10.70 ccf of monthly usage which corresponds to 4,000 gallons and 8,000 gallons per month based on 748 gallons per ccf. Keeping in mind the narrative included earlier in this survey regarding the various reasons why water and wastewater rates vary among communities, the distribution of monthly bills at 4,000 gallons from lowest to highest is shown in Figure A.
As shown in Figure A, the average combined monthly water and wastewater bill for 4,000 gallons is $61.24 excluding utility taxes. There is a wide distribution of residential water and wastewater bills at the 4,000-gallon usage level. As noted earlier, there are numerous reasons why utility rates are different among service providers. The average combined bill for these same utilities is $95.45 for 8,000 gallons, as illustrated in Figure B.

In the survey, we compare the average monthly water and wastewater bill for 4,000 gallons and 8,000 gallons between 2014, 2016, and 2018. The comparisons include only the 149 utilities that participated in all three surveys. As shown in Figure C, the average monthly water bill for 4,000 and 8,000 gallons increased annually from 2014 to 2018 by 2.4% and 2.4%, respectively. The average monthly wastewater bill for 4,000 gallons increased by 2.5% annually, and the 8,000 gallon bill increased by 2.4% annually from 2014.

AdditionalResults
All utilities surveyed have a combination of a fixed monthly charge and a separate variable charge based on the amount of metered water use as their primary revenue generation mechanism. Most water management district consumption use permits require utilities to have a conservation rate structure (multiple variable rate blocks that are “inverted” or increase at higher usage amounts) to reduce water consumption. There are 27 surveyed utilities (13% of respondents) that use a uniform rate structure. The inverted rate structure typically produces a costlier bill at higher usage than a uniform rate structure.
Certain other characteristics of surveyed utilities include the following:• Monthly minimum water bill• Monthly minimum wastewater bill• Monthly minimum combined bill• First water usage rate block• Fixed portion of bills• Wastewater residential billing cap

Many utilities have multiple usage blocks (tired blocks) for charging water rates to residential customers. The amount of water within the first block is usually related to indoor usage or a local affordability
threshold. Figure M illustrates the distribution of utilities by the gallons included in the first usage block. The utilities that do not
have tiered water rates are indicated as “uniform.”

Fixed cost recovery is an important indicator of financial stability, especially considering recent trends in declining water use. Figure N provides the amount of cost recovery for water, wastewater, and combined bills at 4,000 and 8,000 gallons. It is important to note that the greater amount of costs recovered from the fixed monthly charge and initial usage block, the greater the revenue stability. While fixed costs of a typical utility are 80% to 90% of total costs, the survey results show that the fixed charge comprises approximately 55% of the average 4,000-gallon bills and comprises 35% within the 8,000-gallon bills.
* The water and wastewater bill does not equal the combined bill since some surveyed utilities that provide only one service are not included in the combined bill average. The water, wastewater, and combined bill include data from 212 utilities, 210 utilities, and 200 utilities, respectively.
Since volumetric wastewater usage is billed based on the customer’s water meter readings, many wastewater utilities recognize that there is a practical limit of how much water is returned through the wastewater system. Utilities often provide a billing threshold or billing cap for residential wastewater usage charges to account for limited returns to the wastewater system. Figure O provides the distribution of various billing caps among the surveyed wastewater utilities.

232018 FLORIDA WATER AND WASTEWATER RATE SURVEY
The 2018 Florida Water and Wastewater Rate Survey includes information for more than 220 utilities throughout Florida, each with its own unique characteristics, including rate structures that vary in complexity and cost. This document includes highlights from the survey and illustrates why rates may differ among communities. We hope the survey provides a resource for utilities to compare themselves with their peer communities throughout Florida and to stay abreast of industry trends.
