• City operates and maintains two water systems: › West Side – Well Customers › East Side – Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA) customers • During 1980 s growth on East Side occurred too quickly to allow for expansion of well and treatment capacity. Solution was Detroit (now GLWA) water. • Currently cost prohibitive/technically infeasible to expand well water service to east side. • Two system approach remains the most cost-effective option for water service delivery 3

Q. – Are current revenue levels adequate to fund the provision of safe and reliable water and sewer service? A. – Current revenue levels are adequate at least through next year. Modest adjustments may be needed after that. Q – Is the City’s rate structure fair? In other words, does it recover revenue from customers in proportion to the costs they cause the City to incur? A. – The City’s current rate structure is sound, but modest changes could be made to improve the equity of the water and sewer rates. 11
• No rate adjustment this year (September 2020 to August 2021) • Modest adjustments in future years as needed • Continue efforts to evaluate cost control/reduction • City has long history of evaluating ways to reduce utility costs › Drilling additional wells › Treating sewage vs. purchasing sewage treatment › Reducing purchased water costs – Direct Connection with GLWA – Storage to reduce peak demand – Demand management strategies 12
13
• Public Engagement Efforts to Communicate Study Results › › Study Materials Posted to City Website Town Hall Meeting Social Media Postings Bill Stuffers • Evaluate Need for Rate Adjustment Next Year › Visibility into capital improvement needs should be better due to condition assessments › Longer term impacts of COVID-19 better understood › City staff provided with rate model to use for future financial planning/rate development needs 14
