Executive Summary
The functions and duties of the Oro Valley Water Utility Commission include reviewing and
n
developing recommendations for water revenue requirements, water rates and fee structures. The
J
Commission annually evaluates staff recommendations based on a rates analysis to assure the
recommendations meet Town policies and bond covenants. Water rates and charges shall be
—j
J
reviewed annually under Mayor and Town Council Water Policies — II.A.2.b(4).
The Utility has based its financial analysis on the American Water Works Association (AWWA) Cash
Needs Approach. The AWWA is the largest national organization that develops water and
wastewater policies, specifications and rate setting guidelines accepted by both government -owned
and private water and wastewater utilities worldwide.
This Water Rates Analysis Report contains detailed information on the three funds that comprise the
Oro Valley Water Utility:
➢ Operating Fund
➢ Alternative Water Resources Development Impact Fee Fund (AWRDIF Fund)
➢ Potable Water System Development Impact Fee Fund (PWSDIF Fund)
Each fund is individually analyzed with regard to revenue and revenue requirements. The Utility is
an enterprise of the Town and generates revenue from rates, fees and charges and does not receive
J
revenue from taxes or other payments from the General Fund.
The Water Utility Commission has made a recommendation for a Preferred Financial Scenario.
7
Under the Preferred Financial Scenario, the Operating Fund is projected to have an ending cash
balance of $3,647,174 at the end of the five-year projection period which meets the cash reserve
1
requirement. To determine the cash reserve balance, the cash balance of the Operating Fund is
J
combined with the cash balance of the Groundwater Preservation Fees. The Preferred Financial
Scenario includes cash funding and new debt to finance capital projects.
l
J
Each year the water rates analysis is prepared based on the most up-to-date information available
for a five-year projection period. Operational needs and capital improvement requirements change
annually and are carefully evaluated when they are included in the analysis.
The Preferred Financial Scenario results in financially sound cash balances in the AWRDIF Fund and
1
the PWSDIF Fund. These cash balances will be used to finance capital projects to meet the demands
J
of new growth and development. Pursuant to Arizona Revised Statute 9-463.05, revenue from the
individual impact fee funds may not be consolidated nor used for any purpose other than for which
they were originally established.
- 1 -
The Preferred Financial Scenario includes five-year projections for each fund and evaluates the
impact of future costs and the revenue sources that will be required to meet those costs. Based on
the data contained within the Preferred Financial Scenario, Water Utility Staff and the Water Utility
Commission have made the following recommendations on water rates for FY 2015-16:
➢ Increase in the potable and reclaimed commodity rates
➢ Increase in the potable and reclaimed construction water rates
➢ Increase in construction meter deposits
➢ No increase in the monthly base rates for potable and reclaimed water
➢ No change in the potable and reclaimed Groundwater Preservation Fee (GPF)
Current and proposed commodity rates and GPF are provided in the Table 1 below:

WATER RATES ANALYSIS REPORT
NOVEMBER 2015
Introduction
The Oro Valley Water Utility was established in 1996 as a self-supporting enterprise of the Town.
The Utility is comprised of three separate funds that have been established for specific purposes.
The Funds are as follows:
➢ Operating Fund
➢ Alternative Water Resources Development Impact Fee Fund
➢ Potable Water System Development Impact Fee Fund
The Operating Fund is the primary fund for the Utility. Revenue for this fund includes water sales,
service fees, miscellaneous charges and interest income. The Utility does not receive revenue from
taxes or other payments from the Town General Fund. The expenditures managed from this fund
include personnel, operations and maintenance for both potable and reclaimed water systems,
capital costs for existing potable water system improvements and related debt service. The Utility
pays the General Fund for services received including finance, human resources, fleet services,
information technology, legal, insurance and rental of office space. Groundwater Preservation Fee
(GPF) revenue is accounted for within the Operating Fund. More information on the GPF may be
found on page 10 of this report.
l The Alternative Water Resources Development Impact Fee Fund (AWRDIF) was established in 1996
J to manage capital expenditures related to alternative water resources including reclaimed water
and Central Arizona Project (CAP) water. Revenue for this fund is received from impact fees
collected at the time water meters are purchased and from interest income. Expenditures include
capital repayment obligation charges for the Town's CAP allotment and infrastructure and
associated debt service to deliver CAP water to the Town for future growth and development.
The Potable Water System Development Impact Fee Fund (PWSDIF) was established in 1996 to
manage capital expenditures related to expansion or growth -related potable water capital projects
and related debt service. Revenue for this fund is received from impact fees collected at the time
water meters are purchased and from interest income. Expenditures may include wells, pump
stations, reservoirs and mains forthe potable water system required to meet the demands of future
growth and development.
The revenue and expenditures of all three funds are combined to determine if the Utility meets the
1 debt service coverage requirement established in the Mayor and Town Council Water Policies and
J current bond covenants. Otherwise, each fund is independent with regard to revenue and expenses.
Pursuant to Arizona Revised Statute (ARS) 9-463.05 Section 13.9., impact fees must be placed in a
separate fund and accounted for separately. ARS 9-463.05 Section B.5. states that the impact fees
-3-
may not be used for operations and maintenance of existing facilities. Each fund is addressed in
more detail on pages 12 and 13 of the report.
Growth Rates
The Utility's growth rates have fluctuated over the past several years. Figure 1 illustrates the Utility's
growth rate of 12.8 percent or 2,178 new metered connections over the last 10 years.

Water Use Trends
The Utility has experienced an overall reduction in water use, both potable and reclaimed, over the
last 10 years. Figure 2 illustrates this reduction in total water use from FY 2005-06 through FY 2014-
15. The trend line emphasizes a continuous decline in water use even though the utility experienced
growth in the number of customers in that same time frame. During FY 2014-15, the single family
residential customer with a 5/8 x 3/4 inch water meter averages water use of 7,300 gallons per
month.

Debt Service
Annual debt obligations are met with the revenue generated in the Operating Fund, the AWRDIF
and the PWSDIF. A summary of the existing debt allocated to each of these funds and the
outstanding balances at the beginning of FY 2015-16 are provided in Table 3.

This rates analysis includes an assumption for new debt to finance existing system improvements in
the amount of $4,500,000 in FY 2017-18 as shown in the appendices on page E-3. It is assumed that
the Utility would obtain a loan from the Water Infrastructure Finance Authority (WIFA) with a 20-
year term at a three percent interest rate.
During FY 2015-16 the Town is refunding the 2005 Excise Tax Bonds of which the Utility's
proportionate share is 33 percent. It is projected that the Utility's savings will be $86,000 which will
be realized in FY 2016-17 and is included in this analysis. This refunding will be by way of private
-5-
placement with an investment institution. The next opportunity to refund older bonds is in 2017
when the 2007 bonds reach the optional early redemption date.
Debt Service Coverage Requirements
The method for calculating the debt service coverage ratio is pursuant to the Town Financial and
Budgetary Policies adopted by the Town Council in 2008. Section C.1— Debt Capacity, Issuance &
Management states the following with respect to debt service coverage ratios:
"When utility revenues are pledged as debt service payments, the Town will strive to maintain a 1.3
debt service coverage ratio or the required ratio in the bond indenture (whichever is greater) to
ensure debt coverage in times of revenue fluctuation."
The Water Utility currently pays debt service on a number of outstanding debt issuances and loans.
For the Series 2012 Senior Lien Water Revenue Bonds, the 2008, 2010 and 2014 Water
Infrastructure Finance Authority (WIFA) Loans, water utility revenues are specifically pledged as the
repayment source for these obligations at 1.3 times coverage per the Town's adopted financial
policy.
The remaining outstanding debt obligations of the Water Utility are excise tax pledged obligations
meaning that the Town's unrestricted sources of sales taxes, fines, permit fees and state shared
revenues are pledged as the repayment sources for these bonds in the bond indentures. Even
though the bond indentures pledge these excise taxes as the repayment source, the Water Utility is
and will continue to be responsible for these debt service payments. However, since excise taxes are
pledged as coverage, a calculated debt service coverage ratio of 1.0 is applied to avoid double
coverage when calculating the debt service coverage ratio for these excise tax -backed bonds in the
water rates analysis.
It is important to note that the bond indentures for the excise tax -backed bonds require that the
Town's excise tax collections each fiscal year total at least 2.5 times the annual debt service
1
requirements in order to avoid having to fund a debt service reserve fund. These conditions have
J
been met annually in the past and are expected to continue in the future. For FY 2014-15 the debt
service coverage ratio was 10.49 for the General Fund which substantially exceeds the 2.5
_j
requirement.
This methodology of segregating the water utility revenue -pledged debt from the excise tax -pledged
1 debt in the rates analysis process is an accepted practice in the industry and has been reviewed by
J the Town's Finance Director and the Town's financial advisors with Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Inc.
The debt service coverage ratio is determined by dividing the annual net operating revenue by the
annual debt service payments. Using the methodology described above is in accordance with the
2008 policy and reduces the amount of the debt service coverage requirement amount. Applying
this methodology has been key in minimizing water rate increases.
Debt service coverage for the Water Utility's outstanding senior lien debt issuances and loans in the
Preferred Financial Scenario is shown in Table 4.

Cash Reserve Policy for Operating Fund
The Town of Oro Valley Mayor and Council Water Policies were adopted in 1996. Following the
Commission recommendation, an amended policy was submitted to the Town Council and was
subsequently adopted June 17, 2015. The amended policy may be found in Section II.A.1.d. and
states "The Utility shall maintain a cash reserve in the Operating Fund of not less than 20%of the
combined total of the annual budgeted amounts for personnel, operations and maintenance, and
debt service. This cash reserve amount specifically excludes budgeted amounts for capital projects,
depreciation, amortization and contingency. No cash reserve is required for the water utility impact
fee funds." The cash from GPF is accounted for in the Operating Fund and is included in the total
cash reserve balance. In the Preferred Financial Scenario, the projected cash reserve balance for the
Operating Fund for each year in the analysis is listed in Table 5 showing compliance in all years.
Table 5
Operating Fund 2015-16 2016-17 2017-18 2018-19 2019-20
Cash Reserve Requirement $ 3,019,019 $ 3,064,418 $ 3,090,779 $ 3,179,215 $ 3,632,906
Cash Reserve Balance $ 7,587,851 $ 5,519,357 $ 5,596,403 $ 5,457,949 $ 3,647,178
Cash reserve balances in the Operating Fund are the main driver for the proposed changes in water
rates. The projected cash reserve balances shown in Table 5 include revenue from the proposed rate
changes. Those changes include increases in the base rates and commodity rates throughout the
projection period. The proposed changes allow for the cash balances to be at appropriate levels for
both the Operating Fund and the GPF. The impact to the customers from the proposed changes are
nominal except for single family residential and irrigation customers who are high water users.
Details of the impact to all water users are in Appendix B.
Cash reserves is projected to decrease $3,940,673 over the five-year projection period. Of this
amount, $3,374,000 is to pay for capital projects shown on page E-3. To maintain cash reserves
without large rate increases, the Preferred Financial Scenario assumes $4,500,000 in new debt to
finance capital expenditures for FY 2017-18 through FY 2019-20.
Operating Fund
Revenue Forecast
The Operating Fund (excluding the GPF cash) had a cash balance of $8,068,049 at the beginning of
FY 2015-16 and is projected to have a balance of $2,855,785 at the end of FY 2019-20. These funds
may be used for operating costs including personnel, operations and maintenance, capital
improvements for the existing potable water system and debt service.
The revenue forecast was based on analysis of the Utility's actual billing data for FY 2014-15 and
projected growth in the number of new connections detailed in Table 2 on page 4. The revenue
forecast includes proposed increases in the base rates shown below in Table 6. The base rates are
projected to increase beginning in FY 2016-17.

Other revenue generated by the Utility consists of charges for services. Those charges for services
includes and intergovernmental agreement with the Pima County Wastewater Reclamation
Department to provide monthly billing services. The intergovernmental agreement will be subject to
renewal in FY 2018-19. It is projected that the revenue will increase by $6,800 representing a three
percent increase upon renewal. Charges for service also include, but are not limited to, new service
establishment fees, late fees, reconnection fees, convenience fees, and plan review fees. Charges
for services are projected to generate annual revenue ranging from $684,200 to $691,000.
Projections for interest income are a cumulative total of $633,752 over the five-year period. A two
percent interest rate was assumed for each year in the projection period. This interest rate is
consistent with the Town's financial planning.

Projected personnel costs include the addition of one new employee in FY 2015-16, three and one
half percent annual merit increases and two percent annual increases in health care costs. These
projected increases are consistent with the General Fund's financial planning.
M

The projected operations and maintenance (0&M) costs for both the potable and reclaimed water
r systems include inflationary increases of one percent annually. The inflation factors are consistent
J with the General Fund's financial planning.
n
Power for pumping costs were segregated from the traditional O&M costs because they are not
J
subject to annual inflationary increases. A 15 percent rate increase by Tucson Electric Power was
projected in FY 2017-18. The Utility received authorization from the Town Council to pursue the
acquisition of excess electric power from the Arizona Power Authority. This power will be wheeled
through Tucson Electric Power or the Utility will receive credits on the monthly bills. The Utility is
still in the early stages of negotiation; therefore, the amount of power savings the Utility will realize
has not yet been determined and therefore not included in this analysis.
The Utility plans to purchase groundwater extinguishment credits in FY 2015-16 and FY 2016-17. The
analysis included $450,000 to purchase these credits in each of these two fiscal year. These credits
will be pledged to the Groundwater Allowance Account (GWA) to help maintain a balance in the
GWA that will facilitate growth in the water service area.
CAP wheeling costs are the fees charged by Tucson Water to wheel our CAP water through their
recharge and recovery system. These fees are fixed pursuant to an IGA and are subject to
renegotiation in FY 2016-17. Based on the renegotiated IGA, costs increase in FY 2017-18 due to
projected rate increase by Tucson Water. The costs increase again in FY 2019-20 due to an
additional delivery of 500 acre feet of CAP water as allowed in the IGA.
CAP water recharge costs represent costs to take delivery of the Utility's entire CAP water allotment
of 10,305 acre feet annually. This water will be recharged in various recharge facilities including the
Tucson Water's facilities. Costs are based on the rate schedule adopted by the CAP.
Projected capital outlay for existing system improvements in this analysis includes the replacement
of approximately 5,000 water meters and installation of AMI equipment in the Oro Valley water
service area in FY 2015-16. Capital outlay also includes water main replacements, pumping station
replacements. well replacements, vehicles, computer and security equipment. The schedule for five-
year capital improvements may be found in Appendix D.
The meter replacement project is being financed with a loan from the Water Infrastructure Finance
Authority of Arizona (WIFA) and will be completed in FY 2015-16. This loan was approved by the
Town Council in January 2014. Debt service costs increase in FY 2019-20 because of a large principal
payment due on the 2007 bonds. A small portion of the increase is due to the new debt projected to
occur in FY 2017-18 as described on page 5.
The complete five-year projection pro formas for the Preferred Financial Scenario may be found in
Appendix A.
Groundwater Preservation Fee
The Groundwater Preservation Fee (GPF) was established in 2003 to generate revenue to finance
alternative water resources, capital expenditures for infrastructure needed to deliver alternative
water to the Town and related debt service. Following the Commission recommendation, an
amended policy was submitted to the Town Council and was subsequently adopted June 17, 2015.
-10-
The amended policy may be found in Section II.A.1.g. of the Mayor and Council Water Policies and
states "Revenue from the Groundwater Preservation Fees shall be used for renewable water capital
costs and associated debt; renewable water supplies and related debt; and for costs to wheel
Central Arizona Project water to the Town." This analysis includes 75 percent of the total wheeling
n costs charged by Tucson Water being paid with GPF revenue. The remaining 25 percent will
Jcontinue to be paid with water sales revenue. There is no proposed increase in the GPF. Table 10
shows the GPF rates used in this analysis.

The GPF has a beginning cash balance of $3,306,394 in FY 2015-16 and is projected to have an
ending cash balance of $791,389 in FY 2019-20. Although the GPF cash reserve is decreasing, this is
an appropriate cash reserve amount for the GPF because there are no significant increases in
1 expenditures. This is due to consistent debt service payments and limited capital expenditures
J during the projection period. The GPF cash is combined with Operating Fund to determine the
l overall cash reserve balance of the Operating Fund.

Development Impact Fee Funds
Alternative Water Resources Development Impact Fee Fund
The Alternative Water Resources Development Impact Fee Fund (AWRDIF) had a cash balance of
$4,021,793 at the beginning of FY 2015-16 and is projected to have $2,825,377 at the end of FY
2019-20. The revenue sources for the AWRDIF Fund are from impact fees collected when a water
meter is purchased and from interest earned on cash balances. Interest income is projected to be a
total of $559,965 for this analysis. A two percent interest rate was assumed for each year in the
projection period and is consistent with the Town's financial planning.
The revenue forecast was based on new service units related to the number of new connections. A
service unit is the equivalent of one single family residential (SFR) 5/8 x 3/4-inch water meter. The
SFR service units are equal to the number of new connections. The other service units are forecast
based on historic trends and pending development projects within the Town. Other service units
' include commercial, multi -family and irrigation uses with the number of service units depending on
the meter sizes for each project.
The Town Council adopted new impact fees that became effective July 1, 2014. The new impact fee
for a SFR 5/8 x 3/4-inch water meter or one service unit is $4,045. Table 13 provides the projected
growth in service units and the revenue associated with that growth.

Potable Water System Development Impact Fee Fund
The Potable Water System Development Impact Fee Fund (PWSDIF) had a cash balance of
$4,800,153 at the beginning of FY 2015-16 and is projected to have $6,407,674 at the end of FY
2019-20. The revenue sources for the PWSDIF Fund are from impact fees collected when a water
meter is purchased and from interest earned on cash balances. Interest income is projected to be a
total of $580,543 for this analysis. A two percent interest rate was assumed for each year in the
projection period and is consistent with the Town's financial planning.
The revenue forecast was based on new service units related to the number of new connections. A
service unit is the equivalent of one single family residential (SFR) 5/8 x 3/4-inch water meter. The

PWSDIF funds may be used for capital expenditures related to potable water system improvements
including wells, booster stations, reservoirs and water mains that are required to meet the demands
of new growth. There are no O&M expenditures in this fund. The projections detailed in the
1 Preferred Financial Scenario for the PWSDIF Fund assume land acquisition costs for a future
J reservoir site and pumping station. Debt service for previously constructed growth -related facilities
is paid from revenues collected from impact fees and use of cash reserves. No new debt is projected

Preferred Financial Scenario
i Prior to developing financial forecasts, financial considerations were evaluated relating to proposed
future operating costs, significant short and long term capital expenditures, the Utility's existing
cash reserves, existing outstanding debt and the related debt service payments. To develop a
Preferred Financial Scenario, the goals of the Utility were to ensure that all existing rate setting
policies were met, cash reserves were utilized to minimize future debt and proposed rate increases
would not result in rate shock.
l
The Water Utility has prepared a Preferred Financial Scenario. The Scenario generates the revenue
needed to maintain an adequate cash balance in all funds over the projected five-year period.
Additionally, the Scenario uses both available cash and proposed new debt to finance capital
projects. The Scenario meets the debt service coverage requirements in each year of the projection
j period. The Preferred Financial Scenario includes projections for five years; however, water rates are
J approved annually for the first year in the projection period. The Water Utility Commission and
Utility staff recommend approval of this Preferred Financial Scenario.
J The cash balance in the PWSDIF fund increases over the five year period while the cash balance in
the AWRDIF fund decreases as cash is used for capital projects. The cash balance will be important
in the future as the Town moves forward with increased deliveries of CAP water and constructing
potable water system infrastructure to meet the demands of new growth.
The financial projections for the Operating Fund, AWRDIF Fund and the PWSDIF Fund were
combined to evaluate the overall debt service coverage at the end of each fiscal year. Analysis
indicates that, under the Preferred Financial Scenario, the Utility will meet the debt service coverage
l requirement established by the Mayor and Council Water Polices and bond covenants for all five
J years. Pro formas for the Preferred Financial Scenario may be found in Appendix A. The
assumptions used to develop the financial projections contained in the Preferred Financial Scenario
1 may be found in Appendix E.
1 Recommendation on Rates, Fees & Charges
J After reviewing the analysis of the three funds and their respective revenue requirements contained
in the Preferred Financial Scenario for FY 2015-16, the Water Utility Commission and Utility staff
recommend the following:
➢ Increase in the potable and reclaimed commodity rates
➢ Increase in the potable and reclaimed construction water rates
➢ Increase in construction meter deposits
➢ No increase in the monthly base rates for potable and reclaimed water
No change in the potable and reclaimed Groundwater Preservation Fee (GPF)
Table 17 illustrates the proposed water rates for a single family residential customer with a 5/8 x 3/4
inch water meter. Approximately 87 percent of the utility's customers fall into this category. Water
rates of other water providers in the region are included for comparison of the cost per 1,000
gallons.

Service Fees & Charges
The Utility charges fees for services rendered in an amount designed to recover the cost to provide
that service. These fees and charges are evaluated annually to determine if any adjustments are
needed. it is recommended that the security deposit for a construction meter be increased to
recover material costs associated with replacing the meter and backflow device. These meters are
used by contractors to obtain construction water. When the meter is returned, the security deposit
is refunded in its entirety. Occasionally the meter is returned damaged. If there is damage, the
security deposit is then used to repair or replace the meter. Detailed cost information may be found
in Appendix C.
Conclusion
Each year the water rates analysis is prepared based on the most up-to-date information available.
Operational needs and capital improvement requirements change annually and are carefully
l evaluated when they are included in the analysis. It is important that the Utility perform a water
J rates analysis every year to plan for changes in debt service, operating or capital costs.
1 The Water Utility presents this Water Rates Analysis Report for the review and consideration of the
JMayor and Council. The Commission and Water Utility Staff are available to discuss this report in
greater detail at Council's request. Utility Staff will be requesting Council's approval of the Notice of
Intent to increase water rates on December 2, 2015.
The Oro Valley Water Utility Staff and Commission are dedicated to serving the Town of Oro Valley
J and the customers of its water utility. Water Utility Staff and the Commission extend their
appreciation to the Mayor and Council for their consideration and guidance and looks forward to
l their continued direction.

Water Resource Management Costs
Costs are for the purchase of groundwater extinguishment credits. These credits will be pledged to the
Groundwater Allowance Account to help maintain a balance that will facilitate growth in the water service
area. Annual costs for FY 15-16 and FY 16-17 have been estimated. The actual volume purchased will depend
on the negotiated cost per acre foot.
Reclaimed Water Wheeling Costs
Pursuant to the existing IGA, the reclaimed water is delivered on a non -interruptible basis at an interruptible
rate. The IGA is currently being renegotiated with the same terms; therefore, only inflationary increases are
included annually. The rate for FY 15-16 is $274.45/AF plus a monthly base rate. Included in the FY 15-16 costs
are funds paid to Tucson Water for the purchase of their effluent when Oro Valley didn't produce enough
effluent during the past 4 years. In the future, Oro Valley will have the choice to use long-term storage credits
to offset any Town effluent shortages or to repay with cash; an average of $33,600 per year has been included
in the reclaimed operating costs for FY 2016-17 through FY 2019-20.
CAP Wheeling Costs
Costs include the fees charged by Tucson Water to wheel the CAP water through their recharge and recovery
system. Tucson Water fees are fixed pursuant to an IGA and are subject to re -negotiation in FY 2016-17. It is
assumed that there were be a 15% increase in the power component and a 5% increase In the 0&M
component of the wheeling rate. It is also assumed that the Utility will wheel 2,100 AF per year for FY 2015-16
through FY 2018-19. The amount wheeled is projected to increase to 2,600 AF in FY 2019-20.
