EPA regulations mandate the inclusion of certain industrial waste and other
provi s i on 's in the City Code. A revi ew of vari ous code chapters re 1 at i ng to
wastewater and the design, construction, use, permitting and funding of
wastewater facilities showed the current code to be faulted in many respects.
Consequent ly it was determi ned that the code shoul d be revi sed not only to
accommodate EPA mandated revisions but so as to upgrade the remaining portions
of the code relating to sewage and public sewage facilities.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council:
1. Conduct the public hearing.
2. Place the Ordinance on first reading.
3. Adopt the resolution.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
1. Background
The Federal Government in adopting the Federal Water Pollution Control
Act mandates that sewage agencies:
A. Establish a pretreatment program for industries;
B. Monitor industrial wastes;
C. Establ i sh fees to recover the cost of admi ni steri ng the
industrial waste program;
D. Establ ish equitable charges for the treatment of sewage based on
the quantity and quality of waste generated; and
E. Pass enabling ordinances.

Meeting Date 6/18/91
Because of the involvement of Federal grants the Metropolitan Sewage
System and all of its participating agencies, including Chula Vista,
became subject to the Water Pollution Control Act mandate.
The EPA, acting through the State Water Resources Control Board,
established a July 1, 1991 deadline for enactment of certain provisions
related to sewers and industrial wastes in the City Codes of the
various Metro agencies.
Staff undertook modification of the Chula Vista Code so as to conform
with the Federal requirement. Preliminary review of existing Code
provisions disclosed that such a modification would be, at best, a
band-a id approach. Current wastewater rel ated Code provi si ons are in
large measure inadequate, poorly organized, archaic and ambiguous.
Consequently, it was determi ned that the Ci ty woul d be best served
through the preparation of totally revised Code provisions relating to
wastewater and wastewater facilities.
Staff requested, and received, an extension of time so as to be able to
incorporate the mandated provi s ions into a total reorgani zat i on and
upgrade of all current sewer-related Code provisions. The Board
representative agreed to the need for extensive revision and
subsequently modified the deadl ine requirement to submi ssion of the
proposed Sewer Ordinance to City Council instead of enactment.
All Metro Sewerage System part i ci pants are subject to the same bas i c
requirement and deadl ine. The "incentive" provided by EPA includes the
threatened withdrawal of $19,000,000 in grants previously provided to
the Metro System.
The proposed ordi nance was prepared with the fo 11 owi ng objectives in
mind:
A. compl iance with the Federal Water Pollution Control Act and the
Federal Clean Water Act.
B. Elimination of ambiguous terms and phrases.
C. Standardization of terminology.
D. Consolidation and organization of wastewater related provlslons.
E. Purgi ng of wastewater hcil i ty construction specifi cat ions and
details from the Code.
F. Clarification of responsibilities.
G. Clarification and reinforcement of enforcement provlslons.
H. Expansi on of app 1 i cabil ity of plan revi ew, permit and inspect ion
activities to all public wastewater facilities and private
pretreatment facilities.
I. Establishment of a new Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit and
Fees.

2. Discussion of Modifications and Additions Made.
A. Industrial Wastewater Provisions
The current code includes some very basic and inadequate
provisions relating to industrial wastes. The proposed ordinance
will create a viable system of permits, fees, management,
reports, pretreatment and enforcement which is both in conformity
with Federa ljState regul at ions, and compat i bl e with Metro System
practices.
The City of San Diego Industrial Waste Program staff has for many
years performed most of the work i nvol ved in i ndustri al waste
permit issuance and compliance for the City of Chula Vista. This
practice has resulted from the fact that San Diego has the
personnel, technical expertise, equipment and laboratory
facil it i es to accompl i sh the task. Chula Vi sta' s costs for such
services have been paid from the Sewer Service Revenue Fund. It
is probable that Chula Vista will continue to utilize San Diego's
staff for these purposes rather than contracting with a private
1 aboratory or creating its own staff and facil it i es. Whatever
course of action is chosen it is necessary that the costs
associ ated wi th Industri a 1 Wastewater Di scharge Permi t issuance
and compliance be assessed primarily against the generators of
i ndustri a 1 wastewater. The proposed ordi nance establ i shes these
fees and formalizes the process and conditions of permit issuance.
The Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit fee to be paid by
industrial dischargers will reflect both the volume and type of
discharge (permit category) involved. The ordinance defines
three permi t categori es to whi ch all i ndustri a 1 di schargers wi 11
be assigned. Following is a copy of the fee schedule proposed:
Flow (Average Daily

Flow in Gallons oer Dav
Permit Fee (Annual)
Permit Category

More than 100,000
50,001 to 100,000

Some industrial wastewater discharges are of such strength or
character as to be unacceptable without pretreatment. The ordinance
authori zes the Di rector of Publ i c Works to requi re construct i on of
facil ities to pretreat such wastewater prior to discharge to the
public sewer.

Meeting Date 6/18/91
Food establishments have in the past proven to be a major source of
grease which has a deleterious effect on the publ ic sewer system.
This ordinance imposes a requirement that grease traps be installed
at food establishments.
The proposed ordinance incorporates an enumeration of prohibited
di scharges whi ch is s i gni fi cantly more detail ed and comprehensi ve
than that i ncl uded in the current Ci ty Code. The new 1 i st i ng is
additionally in conformity with Metro System prohibitions.
B. General Modifications
1. The current code include definitions scattered in several of
the pertinent chapters. Terminology used in the text is
sometimes not consistent with the definitions provided and
sometimes not consistent with modern usage.
The proposed ordinance includes a single modernized list of
definitions and utilizes those definitions in a consistent
manner.
2. The current code i ncl udes extens i ve and archaic sewer
construction specifications and design criteria. Such details
are most appropriately included in the various specifications,
standard drawings and manual s adopted by the City to govern
public works design and construction or are provide for in the
Uniform Plumbing and Building Codes which are applicable in
Chula Vi sta. The proposed ordi nance has been purged of all
such details and simply includes formal reference to those
documents where such details are available.
3. The current code sometimes assigns responsibility and authority
to the City Clerk, City Manager, City Finance Director, City
Engineer and/or the Director of Publ ic Works. In some
instances the delegation of responsibility and authority is not
clearly defined. The proposed ordinance is substantially more
specific in delegating tasks to the City Manager, Director of
Finance, and the Director of Public Works.
4. Current code enforcement provisions relating to wastewater
and/or wastewater facil ities are scattered and confusing, or
simply absent. The proposed ordinance consolidates
administrative enforcement, including notice, hearing and
appeal procedures, and judicial enforcement into a single
chapter in such manner as to more clearly define their
appl icabil ity, and provide appropriate "due process".
5. The current City Code sewer permit provi s ions are generally
applicable to only the construction of sewer laterals and
connections. The proposed ordinance clarifies and expands that
permit authority to cover all wastewater facil ity construction
within the public right-of-way.

Meeting Date 6/18/91
6. The total package of provisions relating to wastewater and
wastewater facilities has been reorganized in the proposed
ordinance. All matters pertaining to sewer related funds and
permitted uses for those funds will be found in Title 3. All
matters, other than funds, relating to wastewater and
wastewater facil ities will be found in new Title 13, entitled
IISewers."
Proposed Title 13 contains seven chapters:
13.02

13.10
13.12
13.14
Purpose, Scope and Policy

General Provisions
Permits, Plans, Construction, Inspection, and Use

The organi zat i on and content of the proposed ordi nance is
generally similar to and compatible with the City of San
Di ego ordi nance in regard to i ndustri a 1 wastewater matters
in order to facilitate coordination of industrial
wastewater di scharge permit issuance and enforcement. The
imposition of new fees in Chapter 13.10 requires their
consideration in a public hearing.
7. Existing Chapter 13.04 relating to fire hydrants is
repealed because its provisions are obsolete, being covered
by the Uniform Fire Code. A new Title 14 is created and
the existing chapters in Title 13 relating to Watercourses
(including Storm Drains) are move to that new Title.
FISCAL IMPACT: The City was billed a total of $22,741.99 by the City of San
Diego for Industrial Waste Program services in Fiscal Year 89-90. Those
charges are expected to increase significantly in the near term. In the past
such costs have been paid from the Sewer Servi ce Revenue Fund and not the
i ndi vidua 1 permittee. Impos it i on of i ndustri a 1 wastewater permi t fees and
enforcement charges as set forth in the proposed ordi nance wi 11 generate
additional income to offset those charges by the City of San Diego. Further,
these fees and charges wi 11 more equitably di stri bute the costs associ ated
with industrial wastewater generation.

TITLE 13 SEWERS
CHAPTER 13.02
PURPOSE, SCOPE AND POLICY
section 13.02.010
PURPOSE
The purpose of this Title is to provide for the maximum
beneficial public use of the City'S Wastewater System or
Facilities through adequate regulation of sewer construction,
sewer use and industrial wastewater discharge, to provide for
equitable distribution of the City'S costs, and to provide
procedures for complying with wastewater discharge requirements
placed upon the City through interagency agreement or by other
State or Federal regulatory bodies.
section 13.02.020
SCOPE
31.-~
6/7/91 -- 3 -- Final
This Title shall be interpreted in accordance with the
definitions set forth herein and the provisions of this ordinance
shall apply to the direct or indirect discharge of all waste into
the City's wastewater system.
This Title, among other things, provides for the regulation
of sewer construction in areas within the city's boundaries, the
quantity and quality of discharged wastes, the degree of waste
pretreatment required, the setting of waste discharge fees to
provide for equitable distribution of costs, the approval of
plans for sewer construction, the issuance of Permits for
Industrial Wastewater Discharge and of other miscellaneous
permits, and the establishment of penalties for violation of this
Title.
section 13.02.030
LIQUID WASTE DISPOSAL POLICY
The City builds and operates and/or contracts for public
sewers and wastewater facilities collectively known as the City's
wastewater system, which serves homes, industries and commercial
establishments. The following policies apply to wastewater
discharges within the City's boundaries and to other discharges
that are tributary to the City's wastewater facilities.
Generally, wastewater originating within the City's
boundaries will be removed by the City's wastewater system unless
the wastewater will (1) damage structures, (2) create nuisances
(such as odors, etc.), (3) endanger public health, (4) impose
unreasonable collection, treatment or disposal costs on the City,
(5) interfere with wastewater treatment processes, (6) fail to
meet quality requirements set by regulatory government agencies
or interagency agreements, or (7) detrimentally affect the local
environment.
The City in its General Plan adopted in July 1989, has
endorsed the concept of wastewater renovation and reuse in order
to conserve water to provide an alternate source of water supply
and to reduce the overall costs of wastewater treatment and
disposal. The renovation of wastewater through secondary and/or
tertiary wastewater treatment processes will necessitate the
imposition of stringent quality requirements on industrial
wastewater discharges.
To comply with the Federal Water Pollution Control Act and the
Federal Clean Water Act and to permit the City to meet
increasingly higher standards, provisions are made in this Title
for the regulation of industrial wastewater discharges. This
Title establishes quantity and quality limitations on industrial
wastewater discharges. provisions are also made for cost
recovery from industrial wastewater dischargers where the
discharges impose inequitable collection, treatment or disposal
costs on the City.
3"- - r
6/7/91 -- 4 -- Final
The city does prefer and encourage industrial wastewater
dischargers to reach beyond simple compliance with limitations
set upon their discharges, and to incorporate recovery and reuse
provisions into their procedures to the maximum extent feasible.
Optimum use of the city's wastewater facilities may require that
certain industrial wastewaters be discharged during periods of
low flow in the city's wastewater system.

Transmittal of Wastewater Rate Plan and Revenue Program
Dear Mr. Lippitt:
James M. Montgomery, Consulting Engineers, Inc. (JMM) is pleased to submit the enclosed City
of Chula Vista Wastewater Rate Plan and Revenue Program, which will we understand will be
included in the package given to your City Council. Frank Peters of the State Water Resources
Control Board (SWRCB) has reviewed the final draft of this document and has given his verbal
approval of the findings.
The sewer service charges recommended in the report should enable the City to raise adequate
revenues to allow for the proper operation and maintenance of the Chula Vista Sewerage System,
meet current payment requirements to the City of San Diego for use of the Metropolitan
Sewerage (Metro) System, and ease future rate increases that will become necessary to finance
future Metro and San Diego Clean Water Program improvements. The recommended rate
structure complies with the fair and equitable guidelines required by the SWRCB. The
recommended sewer service charges for single family residences are consistent with your
projections of last year.
Should you have any questions or comments or should you require any assistance with
presentations before the City Council or the Montgomery Planning Commission, please call me.
Very truly yours,
H~~
James R. Leserman

INTRODUCTION
The City of Chula Vista is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the local
collection system. Wastewater from the City of Chula Vista is discharged into the
interceptors of the Metropolitan Sewerage (Metro) System, and conveyed to the Metro
wastewater treatment facility at Point Lorna for treatment and disposal. The Metro
facilities are currently owned and operated by the City of San Diego. Chula Vista makes
various payments to the City of San Diego for the privilege of using the Metro system,
in accordance with the terms of a contract between the two cities.
Since the City of Chula Vista's treatment authority, the City of San Diego, has received
Clean Water Grant funding in the past, state and federal rules and regulations require that
a user charge program for Chula Vista must conform to certain limitations, as set forth
in Clean Water Grant Program Bulletin 54 C. The bulletin was published by the State
Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), the state authority and federal representative
on Clean Water Grant affairs.
These state and federal regulations require that Chula Vista set sewer user charges at a
level, which in combination with interest on operating funds and miscellaneous fees, are
sufficient to at least offset system operation and maintenance costs. The costs of
operating and maintaining the system must be allocated to user classes fairly and
equitably based on the quantity and strength of the wastewater generated by the users.
The City of Chula Vista's current user charge system is based solely on the allocation of
costs to flow. Therefore the actual or estimated strength of each user or class of users
must be considered in the determination of sewer service charges.
This report sets forth the information and procedures used to develop a user charge
program for Chula Vista. It is intended that the report become the basis for regular
updates of the user charge program to ensure continued financial stability of the District
and conformity with SWRCB guidelines. Incorporated into the report are Forms I
through 6, which correspond to the Revenue Program format recommended by the
SWRCB.
The Metro System provides wastewater treatment and disposal to Chula Vista under the
terms of a contract that, among other things, call for the payment of various charges,
based on either flow or capacity. Chula Vista is currently entitled to 19.2 million gallons
per day (mgd) of treatment capacity in the Metro System. The City estimates a current
wastewater flow of approximately 12.8 mgd.

City of Chula Vista
Wastewater Rate Plan and Revenue Program
BASIC METHODOLOGY
This revenue program addresses the revenue requirements of the City of Chula Vista
Wastewater System for the 1991-92 fiscal year, beginning July I, 1991.
The wastewater system serving the City of Chula Vista consists of two basic components:
the City of Chula Vista collection and conveyance system and the San Diego Metro
treatment and disposal system.
Cost, budgetary, and demographic information provided by the Cities of San Diego and
Chula Vista, and user data provided by the California American Water Company (as
reported by City staff), Otay Water District, and Sweetwater Authority constitute the
bases for the revenue program.
Information provided by the City of Chula Vista includes a printout of all land uses for
all parcels within the City, a list of large commercial users with wastewater generation
over 25,000 gallons per day, cost reports by fund and functional area, depreciation
schedules, and capital improvement programs. The City reports no bonded indebtedness
for the City of Chula Vista Sewerage System.
San Diego Metro cost information is derived from the "Wastewater Rate Study and
Financial Plan: Accelerated Projects at Point Lorna (March 30, 1990)", costs projection
tables produced by San Diego Clean Water Program staff, and conversations with San
Diego staff and consultants.
MONTGOMERY SANITATION DISTRICT AREA
In 1986 the Montgomery Sanitation District was annexed into the City of Chula Vista.
Along with other services in this formerly unincorporated area (Montgomery Area),
wastewater collection and conveyance services became the responsibility of the City of
Chula Vista. Since 1963 wastewater treatment and disposal services for the Montgomery
Area have been and continue to be provided by the City of San Diego Metro Program.
Since the annexation Chula Vista has maintained a distinction between the Montgomery
Area and the Pre-Annexation Chula Vista area. Each area has distinct funds from which
revenues are accrued and expenditures are made. It is assumed that the relative make-up
of the two areas in terms of proportion of types of commercial users is identical and
hence, the relative solids loadings are identical. The estimated strengths of the wastewater
generated by the two areas are similar so all common costs are divided between the two
areas in proportion to their respective flows. Within the next two or three years the City
intends to eliminate the distinction and treat both areas of the City as one. Until that
time, a separate revenue program must be performed for each portion, with separate unit
cost developments for each. Forms I through 6 refer to the Pre-Annexation portion of
the City while Forms 1M through 6M refer to the Montgomery Area.
-2-
City of Chula Vista
Wastewater Rate Plan and Revenue Program
SPRING VALLEY SANITATION DISTRICT
A portion of the flow (approximately 2.2 MOD) that is generated within the Pre-
Annexation Chula Vista area flows through the Spring Valley Sanitation District before
entering the Metro system. Spring Valley passes on the Metro costs to Chula Vista plus
a 10 percent surcharge for conveyance.
COST ALLOCATIONS
Detailed costs for Chula Vista's Wastewater Utility, as presented in City financial and
accounting documents, are summarized in Appendix A. The Metro costs are summarized
in Tables 1 and 2 for the 1990-91 and 1992 fiscal years, respectively. The costs
presented in Tables 1 and 2 reflect the estimates made by the City of San Diego rather
than the Chula Vista budgeted figures of Appendix A. The City of Chula Vista collection
and conveyance system costs are summarized by major fund group in Tables 3 and 4.
All costs are allocated to flow or suspended solids (SS). None are allocated at this time
to the other major strength parameter, biochemical oxygen (BOD) because the Metro
System currently has no secondary treatment and hence no costs related to BOD.
In accordance with the Point Lorna Revenue Program and as presented in Tables I and
2, Metro O&M costs are allocated 51.8 percent to flow and 48.2 percent to suspended
solids. Replacement, rehabilitation, and betterment costs are all allocated at 74.0 percent
to flow and 26.0 percent to suspended solids.
The line items in Tables 1 and 2 are those used by the City of San Diego with the
exception of the "Internal Debt Service to the Metro Sinking Fund," which represent
funds that Chula Vista is earmarking to partially offset anticipated additional payments
to the Metro system for Clean Water Program upgrade projects, commencing with the
1992-93 fiscal year.
The costs collected by the Spring Valley Sanitation District are included as part of the
Metro Operation and Maintenance Costs and Metro 1 Betterment costs for Pre-Annexation
Chula Vista.
As presented in Tables 3 and 4 all costs associated with the operation, maintenance, and
administration of the City of Chula Vista collection and conveyance system are entirely
allocable to flow. A unit cost for each of these parameters is developed based on total
wastewater flow and suspended solids loadings.

City of Chula Vista
Wastewater Rate Plan and Revenue Program
NON-RATE REVENUES
Historically, the primary sources of revenues for Chula Vista's sewer utility has been the
sewer service charges and Sewerage Facility Participation Fees. Investment Earnings and
miscellaneous fees account for other sources. The Sewer Service Charges are developed
as a result of this study. Sources of revenues other than sewer services charges are not
contingent upon the costs of operating and maintaining the system and are presented by
fund in Table 5. For purposes of providing a conservative estimate, it is assumed that
revenues for the 1991-92 fiscal year are identical to those of 1990-91 with the exception
of Sewerage Facility Participation Fees. The Sewerage Facility Participation Fee is
deposited in Fund 222, the Trunk Sewer Capacity Reserve Fund represents the amount
the City projects will be collected from new users to the system. The decrease from $2.1
million to approximately $1.1 million is anticipated because of a decline in the new
residential construction and the assumption of limitations on new water hook-ups due to
the severity of the drought afflicting California. The Non-Rate Revenues are allocated
based on the same parameters as the costs of Tables 1 through 4 and are presented in
Table 6.
According to SWRCB guidelines, Sewer Service Charges, interest on the Sewer Service
Revenue Funds, and miscellaneous fees related to the operation and maintenance of the
wastewater enterprise must be sufficient to at least cover operations and maintenance
expenses. Any remaining funds can be applied to capital projects. Sewer Participation
Fees and interest on non-operating funds can only be applied to capital projects.
USER CLASSES
As presented in Table 7, the proposed user classes include residential, low-strength
commercial (less than 200 mg/l SS), medium-strength commercial (200 through 499 mg/l
SS), high strength commercial (greater than 500 mg/l SS), and other categories, which
include high volume users (wastewater discharge greater than 25,000 gpd) and septage,
whose rates are determined individually. The pollutant concentrations for these classes
of users are taken from the SWRCB Revenue Program Guidelines. Any commercial
establishment that cannot reasonably be assigned to one of these categories is identified
as "Basic Commercial." For large users that sample wastewater discharge, the sampling
results are used in lieu of the SWRCB estimates.
The City of Chula Vista reports six high volume users within the City: Community
Hospital of Chula Vista, Prudential Overall Supply, Rohr Industries, Scripps Memorial
Hospital, Southwestern College, and Vista Hill Hospital.
When the Metro System begins to incur charges related to BOD, upon start-up of
secondary treatment facilities, the commercial categories will be redefined. The pollutant
concentrations are taken from the SWRCB Revenue Program Guidelines. Any
commercial establishment that cannot reasonably be assigned to one of these categories
-4-
City of Chula Vista
Wastewater Rate Plan and Revenue Program
is identified as "Basic Commercial", which falls within the "Low Strength" category. The
number of each type of commercial establishment within the City is listed in City of
Chula Vista Document CP403, "Land Use Inventory Detail Totals BJf RLUC/Assessor No.
Sequence."
LOW-INCOME USERS
The SWRCB allows charges to low-income single family users to be reduced if certain
conditions are met. The reduction must be based strictly on income and not age or
handicap status. The City must establish what the maximum income level that qualifies
and the percent reduction from regular single family users. Applicants seeking relief must
provide proof of annual income. The reduction in revenue must be absorbed by all other
users.
The City of Chula Vista reports 293 low-income households, all located in the Pre-
Annexation Area. The City maintains a 30 percent reduction below the regular single
family charge. No low income users for the Montgomery Area are shown because
residents were not previously eligible for the reduction. However, the recommended rates
below contain a low-income rate in case any are approved in the coming fiscal year.
BILLINGS
Sewer service charges for the Pre-Annexation Area are collected on the user's water bill
by either the Otay Water District or the Sweetwater Authority. The Montgomery Area
service charges have been and continue to be collected by the San Diego County Tax
Assessor on the property tax rolls. City staff is currently examining alternative means of
collecting service charges.
REVENUE PROGRAM FORMS
A description of the assumptions and methodqlogy behind the development of the forms
is presented in this section. Not all of the line items cited in the original forms prepared
by the SWRCB are present because Chula Vista is a subscribing agency to a grant
recipient and was not responsible for the construction or operation of the grant funded
projects. For reasons discussed above, no allocations are made to BOD.
SWRCB Form I--Summary of User and Wastewater Characteristics (Table 8)
For the Pre-Annexation Area, the numbers of single family residences (SFRs) and multi-
family units are reported by the Otay Water District, Sweetwater Authority, and the
California American Water Company.
-5-
City of Chula Vista
Wastewater Rate Plan and Revenue Program
None of the water purveyors distinguish among types of commercial accounts. The City's
land use report distinguishes among the types of commercial establishments. The relative
number of commercial users and their respective flows is estimated by applying the
percentage of all commercial accounts that each category represents to the number of
accounts and volume of flows in the commercial category reported by Otay and
Sweetwater. The percentages are as follows: Low-Strength Commercial 82.7 percent,
Medium Strength Commercial 9.3 percent, and High Strength Commercial 8.0 percent of
the almost 4,600 commercial establishments in Chula Vista. The determination of the
user class is derived from City planning documents, which describe the type of business
on each parcel of land within the City.
A flow of 220 gallons per day per Single Family Residence (SFR) is assumed. This flow
rate represents a reduction from past estimates, reflecting the community's water
conservation efforts and is consistent with the reduced flows recorded in the City's flow
monitoring reports and with other communities in San Diego County. It is assumed that
each apartment unit generates 75 percent of the wastewater as a SFR, or 165 gallons per
day. For each of the other categories, it is assumed that 90 percent of the average annual
water consumption (as reported for the most recent 12-month period by Otay and
Sweetwater) is discharged to the sewer system. The strength of residential wastewater
is assumed to be 200 mg/l each for BOD and suspended solids. The strength of the
commercial categories represent the flow-weighted average of the various categories
within each class presented in Table 7. The remainder of the form is self-evident, with
the indicated columns representing the product of preceding columns. The resulting
wastewater flow for the Pre-Annexation Area is 10041 MOD.
The same approach is employed for the Montgomery Area where an estimated 2.36 MOD
of wastewater is generated.
SWRCB Form 2--0perations and Maintenance Costs and Debt Service (Table 9)
This form summarizes elements of Tables 1 through 4. The payments to the Metro
System include only the operation and maintenance components of the Metro costs. The
capital component is presented in Table 10 (SWRCB Form 3).
The operating reserve line item in the "3. Other" category represents the anticipated
excess of revenues over expenditures of the various capital improvement funds budgeted
for the 1991-92 fiscal year. The reserve fund increases are detailed in Table 11.
SWRCB Form 3--Capital Costs Allocations (Table 10)
All of the capital improvements contemplated by the City of Chula Vista involve parallel
sewer construction and other projects related to capacity expansion. Replacement and
rehabilitation projects are not considered here, as they are part of operation and
-6-
City of Chula Vista
Wastewater Rate Plan and Revenue Program
maintenance. The Metro capital projects include payments Chula Vista will make to
Metro and the Internal Debt Service that Chula Vista contributes to its own funds for
future Metro capital improvement payments.
SWRCB Form 4..Unit Cost Determination (Table 12)
This form summarizes all the costs categories and breaks them down into unit costs per
million gallons per day (MOD) of wastewater flow or per pound per day (ppd) of
suspended solids. Capital Outlay and Debt Service are described above. The Capital
Outlay portion pertains strictly to collection and conveyance equipment and are allocated
solely to flow. The O&M costs are derived from Tables 2 and 4 and Table 9 (SWRCB
Form 2). The Non-Rate Revenue represents the sum of investment earnings,
miscellaneous income and sewer facility participation fees (connection fees). These
revenues must also be allocated to flow and suspended solids and be deducted from the
total costs to determine the revenue requirements, as presented in Table 6. The capacity
payments should be maintained in the Trunk Sewer Capacity Reserve Fund and applied
only towards expansion related projects, such as construction of parallel sewers or
payment towards additional capacity in the Metro System over and above what Chula
Vista currently utilizes. The Net Revenue Requirement represents the estimated amount
of funds that must be raised from users in the 1991-92 fiscal year. The unit costs will
be applied to the estimated flow and suspended loadings of each class to determine an
overall rate.
SWRCB Form 5--Summary of Fund Costs (Table 13)
The unit costs are taken directly from Item 7, Column 5 in Table 12 (SWRCB Form 4).
They are multiplied by the relevant wastewater flow or solids loading to yield a class total
and average rate per unit flow of wastewater generated. To translate these rates to a
charge per unit of water consumed, the rate must be multiplied by the proportion of water
consumed that is discharged to the sewer, which is estimated at 90 percent for both
commercial and multi-family establishments.
SWRCB Form 6.. Total Revenue (Table 14)
This form allocates the cost and revenue categories from Table 12 (SWRCB Form 4) to
the various user classes.
-7-
City of Chula Vista
Wastewater Rate Plan and Revenue Program
RATE RECOMMENDATIONS
Table 15 translates the rates from Table 13 (SWRCB Form 5) and Table 14 (SWRCB
Form 6) to the units that the City utilizes in the Sewer Service Charges. For the 1991-92
fiscal year, the City will continue to assess flat rates for single family residential units.
In the Montgomery Area, multi-family charges will also be assessed a flat rate. All other
users will receive variable charges based on the volume of water consumed. Single
Family Residence charges are stated in dollars per month for the Pre-Annexation Area
and dollars per year for the Montgomery Area because the Pre-Annexation Area Sewer
Service Charges are collected with the monthly or bi-monthly water bills, while the
Montgomery Area receipts are collected annually on the County Tax Rolls.
This model can very easily determine what the variable charge would be for single family
residences once a sewer discharge factor is estimated. For example, if it is assumed that
75 percent of the water consumed is discharged to the sewer, the average unit costs from
Table 13 (SWRCB Form 5) would be multiplied by 0.75, yielding a sewer charge in the
Pre-Annexation Area of $1.02 per hundred cubic feet (hcf) of water consumed for regular
customers and $O.72/HCF for low-income users. In the Montgomery Area, the charges
would be $O.92/hcf and $O.64/hcf for regular and low-income users, respectively.
The rates in Table 15 should be adopted by the City to ensure that sufficient revenues are
raised to operate and maintain the City's wastewater collection and conveyance system
and to make the payments to the City of San Diego for use of the Metro System. These
charges are largely consistent with projections made by City staff in July 1990 of single
family Sewer Service Charges for the 1991-92 fiscal year. These projections anticipated
a 16.5 percent increase from $10.41 to $12.13 per month for Pre-Annexation Chula Vista
and a 30.2 percent increase from $8.35 to $10.87 for the Montgomery Area. The
recommended increases in charges for multi-family and commercial/industrial users are
substantially higher. These proportionately higher charges are a result of applying the fair
and equitable guidelines of the SWRCB by allocating charges to both flow and strength.
