(Number.Residential.Customers), and general (Number. General. Customers); and 6. the total number of ESUs (ESUtotal) and the total number of ESUs for customers in the commercial/industrial category (ESUcomind). The amount of the revenue requirements is generally related to the size of the program. The larger the annual budget, the more revenue the utility will need to collect from its customers if all other revenue sources remain constant (e.g. Systems Development Charges, assessments, permit fees). The total number of customers is basically the number of premises in the Eugene city limits with impervious surface on them. The total number of ESUs is calculated by adding up all the individual customers' ESUs. The above six values are calculated once every time a new rate is set which can occur as frequently as required, typically yearly. The only information that will vary by individual customer is the customer's rate category and the number of ESUs belonging to that customer. Supported with all seven of these values and knowing a customer's rate category, the utility can calculate any individual customer's fee. 5.2 Individual Fees* To calculate the quantity and quality components, the quantity and quality revenue requirements are each divided by the total number of ESUs. The administrative component is calculated by allocating the administrative revenue requirements over the total number of customers in each major customer category in the utility. The street- related component is calculated by allocating costs attributable to the impervious area of public streets to customer categories proportionate to the categories' use of the street network. The following sections provide more detail on this process. [Note, the following footnote provides simplified formulas; these formulae differ from the previous methodology document only in formatting.] * The formulas in the body of the text are simplified from the complete formula. The formula can be simplified because of the way that Eugene is currently handling water quality allocations- certain terms drop out of the equation. Below are a complete set of equations for each major customer category and an explanation of those terms which are not defined above. Monthly Fee for Small/Medium Residential Customer = Quantity Component + Quality Component + Administrative Component + Street Component where, Quantity Component = (((Revenue quantity/12) / ESU total) * ESU customer) Quality Component = (((Revenue quality/12) / ESU weighted) * ESU customer * Quality.Factor) Administrative Component + ((Revenue adminres /12) / Number.Small/Med.Customers) Street Component = + (Revenue streetres /12) / Number.Residential.Customers) Monthly Fee for General Residential Customer = Quantity Component + Quality Component + Administrative Component + Street Component where, Quantity Component = (((Revenue quantity/12) / ESU total) * ESU customer) Quality Component = (((Revenue quality/12) / ESU weighted) * ESU customer * Quality.Factor) Administrative Order - Page 5 of 17
