Disadvantages: Smaller business owners, with line sizes similar to residential properties, may be <br />upset over the lack of consistency with residential properties. <br />FINANCIAL: <br />Financial exposure will depend on what, if any, changes are made to our current policy. If ERMU <br />takes on the added responsibility of funding service line repairs/replacement from the main <br />through the curb stop valve, residential costs would increase by approximately $2.20/month. <br />Costs for commercial customers would increase by approximately $5.00/month. Depending on <br />the selected program, these amounts would be recovered through either a service fee or a rate <br />increase. Calculating the final amounts would be part of our 2025 rate study, planned for the <br />third quarter of 2025. <br />Note: The amounts presented are estimates only, they are not intended to cap our expenses. If <br />we adopt a plan that increases our financial responsibility, we will have to treat all eligible <br />customers the same, even if the total annual costs exceed our budget estimates. <br />NEXT STEPS: <br />Staff requires commission direction on which, if any, policy changes they would like to pursue <br />for approval at a future commission meeting. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />• City Survey— Water Service Line Ownership <br />Page 4 of 4 <br />105 <br />
