Utility Rate Study Analysis 2
I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The goal of a rate study is to ensure the long‐term financial health of the utility enterprise funds.
The City of Edina conducts periodic updates to its utility rate study with the last update being
completed in 2021. The recommendations from the 2021 study were conceptually approved by
the Council in a work session, but implementation was delayed due to billing software
conversion. This rate study revisits the rate structure provided in the 2021 update and seeks to
achieve climate goals, reduce customer complaints, and accommodate updated capital cost
estimates. The utilities are capital intensive operations with over $175 million in capital costs
estimated for 2022‐2031, compared to $149 million estimated in the 2021 update over the same
timeframe. The rate study assumes the City will continue the practice of financing the majority
of capital costs.
This rate study reviews each utility fund to ensure the recommended rates and fees will
support operations, capital costs, capacity expansion projects, address the City’s climate goal
of water conservation, and maintain adequate cash reserves. This report details the findings
and recommendations for each utility, provides an estimated 2023 utility bill for sample
homeowners and businesses, and reviews connection fees. Moreover, the rate study provides
a recommendation for the 2023 user rates and annual increases thereafter for the water,
sanitary sewer, and storm water utilities as well as connection fees for the water and sanitary
sewer utilities.
This rate study aims to find solutions to the increased capital costs and unique challenges each
utility is facing, which is summarized below.
Water Fund – The City’s existing tiered rate structure does not actively promote water
conservation. Under the current structure, 95% of residential accounts have all their water use
fall within the first two tiers of the rates. The current structure thus lacks an adequate price
signal to customers to monitor their usage more closely, and results in similar fees being
collected for irrigation and indoor water use.
Sewer Fund – The single biggest expense in the sewer fund is the Metropolitan Council
Environmental Services (MCES) disposal fees, which is 76% of the 2022 operating budget.
When these fees increase, it puts financial pressure on revenues to keep pace. In addition, the
current rate structure does not promote conservation and winter quarter average billing is
generating complaints from customers.
City of Edina, MN
Utility Rate Study Analysis 3
Storm Water Fund – The City is committed to adequately maintaining its stormwater
infrastructure. In addition, the City needs to undertake flood mitigation projects over the next
20 years to address flooding risk. To balance affordability with capital needs, this rate study
assumes one $10 million flood mitigation project from 2022‐2031, the timeframe of this study.
To address these challenges, Ehlers recommends restructuring water and sewer rates for 2023
and provides the following recommendations for annual increases to utility rates and
connection fees.
Utility Fee 2023 Rate Increases Annual Rate Increases
Beginning in 2024
Water User Rates Rate Restructure 5%
Sewer User Rates Rate Restructure 6%
Storm Water Rates 8% 8%
Water Connection Fee 3% 3%
Sewer Connection Fee 28% 22% in 2024; 5% thereafter
II. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Most City operations, such as public works, public safety, administration, and parks are
accounted for under governmental funds, primarily embedded in the General Fund. These
operations rely on a variety of revenues including property taxes, intergovernmental aid, and
charges for services.
Municipal utility funds are considered enterprise funds. They are intended to be operated like
a private enterprise in which the fee revenue pays for all operations and capital expenses. City
utility operations include four funds: water, sewer, storm water, and recycling. Together these
utilities are over a $27 million operation. In the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
(ACFR), enterprise funds are segregated funds, recognizing the unique purpose and revenue
streams of these functions.
In addition to the ACFR segregating the enterprise funds, the City’s Capital Improvement Plan
(CIP) distinguishes between projects that will be funded by the enterprise funds and those to
be funded by governmental funds.
City of Edina, MN
Utility Rate Study Analysis 4
It should be noted that the City currently has one accounting fund for water, sanitary sewer,
storm water and recycling. For this analysis, we segregated the revenues and expenses for
each utility, and treated each as a separate fund. By doing so, we can ensure that each utility
will recover its own costs. For purposes of this study, we refer to each segregated utility as its
own fund.
III. METHODOLOGY AND ASSUMPTIONS
As part of this year’s study, Ehlers prepared a 10‐year cash flow projection for the water,
sewer, and storm water utility funds through the year 2032. This projection examines
anticipated cash flows in future years and estimates the user rate increases necessary to meet
all financial obligations of the utility funds while maintaining adequate cash reserves.
The cash flow analysis method determines future revenue requirements by incorporating
operating and maintenance expenses, transfer payments, current and future debt service and
anticipated future capital projects. We also include future growth estimates in the model for
calculating connection fees. The primary financial inputs in the development of the analysis
were the City’s audited financial statements, budget documents, annual water billing data for
2019, and the City’s latest Capital Improvement Plan. This study assumes approximately 1.96
billion gallons per year of water consumption based on actual consumption over a 12‐month
period spanning 2019 and 2020. The City elected to use billing data from 2019 and 2020
because it reflected “normal” rainfall and excluded the COVID‐19 pandemic which may have
skewed the data.
The cashflow projections include the following assumptions:
3‐5% annual inflation on operating costs.
4% annual inflation on MCES disposal charges.
Growth is 175 and 119 new SAC units per year for the Southdale and Cahill areas
respectively for connection fees.
We did not assume any additional usage from growth for our user revenue calculations.
This is based on previous years’ experience with growth and minimal to no additional
usage being realized city‐wide, likely as the result of more efficient appliances.
City of Edina, MN
Utility Rate Study Analysis 5
Funding capital improvements for a redeveloping community as well as replacing aging utility
infrastructure drive the need for adequate utility revenue. City staff developed a 10‐year
Capital Improvement Plan for each utility (See Appendix A). All capital costs listed in Appendix
A assume historic inflation levels. If current inflation levels continue the costs will be
understated.
IV. WATER FUND
There are three components to the City’s water utility revenues:
Fixed Charges
Usage Fees
WAC Fees (Water Access Charge or connection fees)
Fixed charges are a quarterly fee based on the size of the water meter. The fixed charge is
established to recover certain administration expenses, such as meter reading and billing, plus
a portion of distribution costs. The 2022 fixed charge for single family residential accounts is
$24.72 per quarter for a three‐quarter inch meter and it increases as the size of the meter
increases.
Usage fees are based on the metered use of water. Water is sold in units and currently one
unit represents 1,000 gallons. The billing structure for most Edina residents is tiered so that
the rate per unit depends on the amount of water used per quarter. Water usage in the
Morningside area is charged at a flat rate per unit. The Morningside rate is set at an amount
sufficient to cover the cost of purchasing water from the City of Minneapolis which is the
largest component of the Morningside rate. The other components are a pro‐rata share of the
City of Edina’s water distribution costs not included in the fixed charge. The current and
proposed tier structure can be seen in Table 1.
Water access charges (WAC) are paid by developers of new homes and businesses when a
building permit is pulled. Developers do not pay connection fees when they are replacing an
existing unit, as is the case for residential tear downs and rebuilds. The connection fees help
pay for the capital costs of serving the new properties. The City of Edina currently charges
$2,960 per sewer availability charge (SAC) unit for new development. We recommend the City
increase its WAC fee 3% annually as discussed later in this report.
City of Edina, MN
Utility Rate Study Analysis 6
The rate study proposes making tiers 1 and 2 smaller in 2023 to promote conservation. As
shown in Figure 1, under the current structure, only 17% of residents are outside of the first
tier and as a result are the only users that receive a price signal to monitor their consumption
more closely. As shown in Figure 2, under the proposed 2023 structure, 58% of residents will
receive a price signal. In tandem with the increased rates in tiers 2 and 3, the new structure
will incentivize less consumption.
Figure 1. Current 2022 Tiers and Residential Accounts by Usage
Figure 2. Proposed 2023 Tiers and Residential Accounts by Usage
City of Edina, MN
Utility Rate Study Analysis 7
The proposed changes to the tier structure, as shown in Table 1, are estimated to generate a
3.5% increase in water revenue in 2023 with low volume residential customers paying less and
medium and high volume customers paying more, as shown in Table 2. The recommended
annual rate increase in 2024 and beyond is 5%.

*Fixed charges (i.e., meter fees) are proposed to increase 5% annually beginning in 2023.
Water use varies based on personal usage, lot size, irrigation, and weather. In 2019 to 2020
the City’s residential customers used an average of 13,700 gallons in the winter quarter and
27,500 gallons in the summer quarter, with the average quarterly usage being 19,200 gallons.
Table 2 shows sample water bills for customers at three different consumption levels.

Utility Rate Study Analysis 8
In addition to promoting conservation, the new structure and annual increase in rates will help
pay for the reinvestment in the City’s aging water system as well as the construction of a new
water treatment plant. Between 2022 and 2031, the City plans to spend $62 million on capital
improvements from the water utility fund (see Appendix A). The table below outlines some of
the major water capital projects in the City’s capital improvement plan.

Capital and annual debt expenditures comprised 59% of the total cash expenditures in the
Water Fund in 2021 as shown in Figure 3. These are fixed costs that do not fluctuate with
consumption; therefore, the revenue stream needs to be reliable from year to year.

V. SEWER FUND
There are two components to the City’s sewer utility revenues:
Usage Fees
SAC Fees (Sewer Access Charge or connection fees)
Currently, usage fees are based on the metered use of water in the winter quarter, or the
current minimum of 12,000 gallons, whichever is greater.
Winter quarter averaging is used for single‐family residential properties to avoid billing for
irrigation usage. Run‐off due to water used for irrigating is part of the storm water collection
system and should not be part of the sewer charge. In some cases, the winter quarter average
can be greater than the actual usage in the spring and summer months; an example of what
can cause this is heavy usage in the winter with guests in town for the holidays. The City
receives a substantial number of complaints from homeowners who are paying winter quarter
consumption when their actual consumption is less.
The minimum charge provides revenue stability for the sewer fund. In addition, residents who
travel to warmer climates in the winter still incur the minimum charge when no water is used.
In smaller households the minimum is sometimes more than actual usage.
Sewer access charges (SAC) are paid by developers of new homes and businesses when a
building permit is pulled. Developers do not pay connection fees when they are replacing an
existing unit, as is the case for residential tear downs and rebuilds. The connection fees help
pay for the capital costs of serving the new properties. The City of Edina currently charges
$1,810 per sewer availability charge unit for new development. We recommend the City
increase its SAC fee 28% in 2023, 22% in 2024 and 5% annually thereafter as discussed later in
this report.
The rate study proposes two structural changes to address customer complaints:
1. A reduction in the sewer minimum to 8,000 gallons in 2023; and
2. Charging the lesser of the Winter quarter or actual, but not less than the minimum.
City of Edina, MN
Utility Rate Study Analysis 10
The proposed changes maintain a sewer minimum for revenue stability, make sewer charges
more affordable for low volume customers, as seen in Table 5, and charges the winter quarter
average or actual usage, whichever is less. The 6% recommended rate increase in 2024 and
beyond is 1% higher than last year’s rate study to account for increased capital costs and to
assist in funding new infrastructure related to the Cahill expansion. The current and proposed
rates can be seen in Table 4.

Table 5. Residential Customer Comparison – Proposed Lower Minimum
City of Edina, MN
Utility Rate Study Analysis 11
The City of Edina participates in the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES)
sewer system. This means that the City’s sanitary sewer system flows to the MCES treatment
plant and the City receives a bill from the MCES for the service. The City does not maintain its
own sanitary sewer treatment plant. MCES allocates the cost of the metro area sanitation
system to user Cities based on their relative percent of flow into the system. Currently the
MCES charge for services is budgeted at $5,906,199 in 2022 and is the single biggest expense
in the City’s sewer fund, comprising almost 76% of budgeted operating expense in 2022,
excluding depreciation. This study assumes future increases to the MCES charge for service
will be 4% per year.
The second biggest expenditure in the sewer fund is capital purchases, most of which are
designated for replacing the sewer mains under road reconstruction projects. Between 2022
and 2031, the City plans to spend $48.5 million on capital improvements from the sewer fund,
including the Cahill capacity expansion project (see Appendix A). The table below outlines
some of the major sewer capital projects in the City’s capital improvement plan.

72nd Street Sewer Line Upsize 2027 $1,600,000
Capital, MCES, and debt expenditures comprised 92% of the total cash expenditures in the
Sewer Fund in 2021 as shown in Figure 4. These are fixed costs that do not fluctuate with
consumption; therefore, the revenue stream needs to be reliable from year to year.
City of Edina, MN
Utility Rate Study Analysis 12
Figure 4. 2021 Sewer Expenditures (Excluding Depreciation)
VI. STORM WATER FUND
The storm water fund was created to pay for the management of storm water runoff in
concert with the local watershed. City projects include repair and maintenance of storm water
infrastructure such as catch basins, manholes, pipes, and sediment collection devices. Single
family residential properties pay a fixed quarterly fee. Commercial property owners are
charged based on residential equivalency unit, acreage, and the storm water rate. Over time,
capital costs for the storm water system have increased to meet increasingly stringent state
standards intended to improve water quality. In addition, there are storm water related
construction costs in connection with street reconstruction projects and flood mitigation.
To fund the capital improvements and on‐going repairs and maintenance the City will need to
generate more storm water revenue. We propose an annual 8% increase in 2023 and
thereafter as shown in Table 7. The recommended rate increase is consistent with last year’s
rate study.

Utility Rate Study Analysis 13
When considering increased storm water rates, it is necessary to balance affordability and
capital needs. With the proposed 8% annual increase in storm water rates, the City will be able
to fund approximately $10 million in flooding mitigation projects every eight years. With this
annual increase, it will take approximately 40 years to accomplish the City’s $50 million in
flood projects unless other funding is secured.
The 8% annual increase allows the City to spend $64 million on capital improvements from the
storm water fund in the next ten years, including the aforementioned $10 million in flood
mitigation projects (see Appendix A). The table below outlines some of the major storm water
capital projects in the City’s capital improvement plan.

Capital and debt expenditures comprised 78% of the total cash expenditures in the Storm
Water Fund in 2021 as shown in Figure 5. These are fixed costs that do not fluctuate with
consumption; therefore, the revenue stream needs to be reliable from year to year.

VII. CONNECTION FEES
The City of Edina currently charges water and sewer connection fees totaling $4,770 per sewer
availability charge unit for new development. The connection fees help pay for the capital
costs of serving new properties. Growth in the Southdale area and expansion projects in the
Cahill area are requiring an investment in an additional water treatment plant and other water
and sewer infrastructure. The estimated costs and sewer availability charge units are show in
Table 9.
Table 9. Project Areas and Estimated Utilities Expansion Cost and New SAC Units
Project Area Estimated Cost Estimated New SAC Units per Year
Southdale Area $11.4 Million 175
Cahill Area* $13.1 Million 119
*Cahill expansion projects will be constructed in 2023‐2024 with assumed growth in that area
to begin in 2027.
To pay for the improvements needed to accommodate the Cahill area growth from sewer
connection fees alone, the fees would need to increase 50% in 2023, 37% in 2024, and 27% in
2025. This level of fee increase may deter the development needed to pay for the
improvements. Instead, this study recommends increasing sewer usage fees half a percent
more annually than otherwise needed to pay for sewer costs and increasing the water
connections fees 3% annually and sewer connection fees 28% in 2023, 22% in 2024 and 5%
annually thereafter as shown in Table 10.

Even with the proposed increases, the City of Edina’s connection fees remain competitive as
shown in Figure 6.

VIII. CASH RESERVES
The proposed rate increases will maintain the financial health of the funds. Each graph
compares the projected cash balance in the fund (in orange) with the City’s target cash reserve
(in blue). The target cash reserve for each utility is set at an amount necessary to provide
adequate operating reserves plus fund next year’s debt service and a portion of capital
projects. Figures 7‐9 show the City’s projected ending cash compared to target cash reserves
for each utility. See Appendix B for the full 10‐year cash flow analyses for the City’s utility
funds.

IX. COMMUNITY COMPARISON
Each community has different demands on its utility systems that make it unique – different
growth patterns, groundwater sources, soil conditions, usage patterns and infrastructure.
Therefore, one should set rates based on documented need, as the City of Edina does through
its periodic rate studies. Nevertheless, it is helpful to know how the City compares to
surrounding communities because residents and businesses often expect to pay similar rates.
In Edina, water use varies significantly based on personal usage, lot size, irrigation, and
weather. The data used for this analysis shows an average usage range of 13,700 gallons in the
winter quarter to 27,500 gallons in the summer quarter, with the average quarterly usage
being 19,200 gallons. Figures 10‐11 compare utility bills for a low volume and medium volume
residential customer.

Utility Rate Study Analysis 19
Figure 11. Quarterly Bill Comparison of Neighboring Communities – Medium Volume Residential
Under the current and proposed tier structure the low volume user’s water usage is all being
charged at the tier 1 rate which results in a reduced bill in 2023 due to a reduced tier 1 rate.
Under the current tier structure, the medium volume user’s water usage is all being billed at the
tier 1 rate, and under the proposed 2023 tier structure 12,000 gallons will be billed at the tier 2
rate which results in a higher 2023 bill. The proposed tier structure provides more customers
with a price signal and promotes water conservation while maintaining affordability for essential
indoor water use.

Utility Rate Study Analysis 21
XI. SUMMARY
The utility funds have been well managed and have adequate cash reserves. However, each
utility is facing unique challenges putting upward pressure on rates, and our analysis indicates
opportunity to change the rate structure to promote water conservation, a key climate action
goal for the City.
To address these challenges, Ehlers proposes the following restructure of water and sewer
rates in 2023 with annual increases in 2024 and beyond.
