Staff Report & Agenda Item Details

The Board of Directors received presentation by Mr. Jeff Snowden, Capex Consulting Group on Agua SUD Water Rights, Rates and Planning. Mr. Snowden noted that the District adopted a five-year rate increase and year three is scheduled for implementation in the next month or two. Water revenues are on target based on the forecast made in 2017, but may be revisited due to the District cutting of expenses that included new smart meters, refunded debt and renegotiated whole sale water supply and delivery agreements. However, he also noted that he was not suggesting the District bypass the rate, but advised that the system was doing better than expected when it came to trimming expenses since last study in 2017. General Manager requested a full assessment from Capex Consulting Group on the upcoming monthly base increase at the next board meeting.
