Reference #2: Customer Name: City of Victorville Contact Individual: Doug Matthews, Director of Public Works and Water Address: 14343 Civic Drive, Victorville, CA 92393 Phone Number: (760) 243-6332 Facsimile Number: Not Available Email: dmathews@ci.victorville.ca.us Contract Amount: $200,000 Year: 2015 to Present Brief description of scope or services provided: Water Rate Study, Sewer and Recycled Water Rate and Capacity Fee Study, Storm Drain Feasibility Study In 2016, NBS completed a Water Rate Study, for the City of Victorville. The main concerns addressed in the water rate study include developing a capital funding plan that includes over $55 million in rehabilitation and replacement projects, updating the water rate structure to one based on Industry standards, that transitions from a consumption -based fixed charge to one that is based on meter size, and developed drought rates. A key part of this Study was working with the Board of Directors in several workshops where they reviewed rate alternatives and provided recommendations on the development of new water rates, and ultimately gaining their support to adopt new water rates and fully -fund the needs of the utility. Earlier this year, NBS completed a Storm Drain Feasibility Study to evaluate the City's costs related to its storm drain program and provide funding options, based on the specific costs that need to be funded and the City's unique needs. The ultimate recommendation of this study is to implement a special tax to supplement existing funding for the program. In addition, NBS is in the process of completing a Sewer and Recycled Water Rate and Capacity Fee Study for the City of Victorville. Main issues that are being addressed in this study are developing capital funding plan that includes over $37 million in rehabilitation and replacement projects and updating the sewer rate structure to incorporate a volumetric component to commercial sewer rates. Other issues include developing rates for the City -owned industrial wastewater treatment plant, including pretreatment program charges.
