I
WHEREAS, Section 14 . 08. 310 of the Redding Municipal Code
provides that the City Council may from time-to-time, by
Resolution, fix, alter, change, amend, or revise all water
utility rates in connection with the water distribution system;
and
WHEREAS, due to the increased costs of operation and mainte-
nance of the water system, and to provide funds for the capital
improvement program of the water utility, staff has recommended
that City Council adopt new, increased water utility rates as set
forth in Exhibit "A" attached hereto; and
WHEREAS, City Council has carefully considered this recom-
mendation; reviewed the existing water utility rate structure;
and studied the increased costs of operation and maintenance and
the capital improvement program of the water utility; and
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held prior to the adoption of
this Resolution; and
WHEREAS, City Council deems it to be in the best interests
of the City of Redding to establish the new, increased water
utility rates as proposed; and
WHEREAS, staff has reviewed the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15273
as it relates to water rates, and is of the opinion that the
proposed water rate increase is not subject to CEQA, with said
findings being based on the following:
r ,
The general water rate increase may be used to:
- meet operating expenses, wages, and employee benefits;
- allow repair and replacement of the existing system;
- increase capacity within existing service areas as a
product of continuing growth and more efficient use of
land;
- provide adequate domestic and fire flows within
existing service areas;
- provide for reconstruction and replacement of sub-
standard portions of the system;
- make emergency repairs as the need arises;
- purchase, pump, store, and transmit water to existing
service areas;
- obtain services and supplies;
- plan and manage the system; and
- process payments;
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED by the City Council of
the City of Redding as follows:
1. Pursuant to Section 14. 08. 310 of the Redding Municipal
Code, City Council hereby approves and adopts as the
established rates for municipal water service to

Redding and the Buckeye Service Area those rates and
charges set forth in the City of Redding Water Utility
schedule of rates attached hereto as Exhibits "A" and
"B" incorporated herein by reference.
The first increase for the Exhibit "A" rate schedule
will be effective October 1, 1993, as to water
furnished to the customers of the City of Redding and
