Re: Request for an Increase in Water and Sewer Rates for the Sebastian
Highlands Division - General Development Utilities, Inc. ,and
adoption of its Service Availability/Main Extension Policy
Dear Mayor Flood:
Pursuant to Section 3 of Ordinance 0-81-8 and 0-81-9, dated May 11,
1981, General Development Utilities, Inc. Water and Sewer Franchises,
General Development Utilities, Inc. hereby gives notice to the City
Council of the City of Sebastian that the Company deems it necessary to
amend its charges for water and sewer services provided
within its franchise area in the City of Sebastian. The present
schedule of rates has become insufficient, and an increase is required
in order to establish rates that are reasonable, sufficient, and
compensatory and provide the Company with a fair and reasonable rate of
return on the net valuation of its properties as provided by the
franchise agreement. General Development Utilities, Inc. respectfully
requests that the City Council set a public hearing as provided under
said ordinance to consider this request at its earliest convenience.
The increase is required to offset the adverse impact of inflation on
General Development Utilities' operating costs. The current rate
increase application is based upon a 1980 test year, and reflects the
efforts of the Company to offset a portion of its losses while
continuing to provide service at the lowest possible reasonable cost.
In 1980 Sebastian Highlands had a net operating loss of $16,160, in its
Water Division and a net operating loss of $16,188 in its Sewer
Division. The Company cannot continue to operate if it loses money
every year.
The total requested revenues which General Development Utilities
seeks is $43,279 in the Water Division and $28,177 in the Sewer
Division based on the 1980 test year.

The current and proposed water and sewer rates are attached hereto and
made a part hereof as Exhibit 1. Comprehensive data supporting the
proposed rates is attached as Exhibits 2 through 5.
In addition, Genera? Development Utilities, Inc. seeks the adoption of
its Service Availability/Main Extension Policy and to amend its
schedule of charges to more accurately reflect the current costs of
construction. These charges will be incurred only by new customers as
they connect to the system. The current and proposed rates are
attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit 6 and supporting
documents have been included as Exhibit 7. The Service Availability /
Main Extension Policy has been attached as Exhibit 8.
It is requested that the request for an increase in monthly rates for
water and sewer service and adoption of the Service Availability/Main
Extension Policy, together—with the requested increase in charges be
placed on the agenda and notice \ for public hearing at the earliest
opportunity. /
Respectfully submitfed,

should be made, preparation of a Service Work Order, driving to customer's
home, turn valve to permit low of water, returning to Utility office with
completed Service Work Order. A reconnection by definition requires that
the service first be turned off. Turn-off requires determination that the
turn-off should be made (delinquent account or temporary vacancy), prepara-
tion of a Service Work Order, driving to the customer's home, turning valve
to stop flow water, returning to Utility office with completed Service
Work Order.

hereinafter referred to as Utility, adopts and incorporates
herein by reference Part IX, Rules and Regulations for Ser-
vice Availability for Water and Sewer Systems, of the Florida
Public Service Commission, promulgated under Commission Order
No. 6397. Utility will make available service and extensions
of service under said Rules, subject to matters of economic
feasibility, as defined in Rule.No•. 25-10.121 of the said Com-
mission Rules and Regulations. This Policy shall not apply
to developer's agreements entered into between Utility and
dontributors which reflect policies implemented and contracts
entered into prior to the adoption of Part IX, Rules and Regu-
lations, of the Florida Public Service Commission. (25-10.120,
F.A.C.) The word "person" as used in Rule 25-10.121(5), F.A.C.,
shall mean and include "political subdivision" as defined in
subsection 1.01(9), Florida Statutes.
2.0 AVAILABILITY
The provisions of this Policy are available to contributors
throughout the territory subject only to matters of economic
feasibility. (For Rules governing service outside the terri-
tory, see Paragraph 15.0 of this Policy.) (For reference to
prior policies, see Paragraph 14.0 of this Policy:.) (See
Section 367.121(1)(d), Florida Statutes.)
3.0 MAIN EXTENSION AND CONNECTION (PLANT CAPACITY) CHARGES
The following is the charge being made by the Utility to con-
tributors (including the Parent Company) upon approval of the
Public Service Commission or other governmental agency having
jurisdiction of this Policy, where water or sewer service is
available or agreed to be made available, in'the territory.
"On site" or "Off-site" water distribution and sewage collec-
tion lines and facilities are included in these charges and
provisions.
Charges to contributors pursuant to this Policy are calculated
on a cost based upon the estimated demand of the contributor's
proposed installation, upon the transmission and treatment faci-
lities of the Utility, and is computed by multiplying the follow-
ing rates by daily rated gallons of demand set forth in Exhibit
A, as modified by Paragraph 6.0 of this Policy.
Connection (plant capacity) charges are stated per gallon demand
for water and sewer service.

Extension charges are stated at the charge per foot measured
along front of the property to be served.
Main Extension Charge Water: $ 7.00
Sewer: $15.25
3.01 Main extension charges for service to customers outside
Utility's certificated service area will be negotiated.
(a) Such customers may be required to advance the full cost
of on-site and off-site mains, subject to refund of portions
thereof in excess of the contributor's hydraulic share.
(b) In addition to payment of the above, connection (plant
capacity) charges will be required to support excess plant
capacity dedicated to the contributor.
4.0 GALLONS PER DAY, WATER AND SEWER DEMAND CHARACTERISTICS
In Exhibit "A", attached hereto, is a list of daily rated
gallons of demands for various occupants which will be used
in computing Connection (plant capacity) and Main Extension
Charges. In the instance of.common facilities for multiple
dwelling units such as irrigation, laundering, recreation
facilities, and commercial and commercial/residential faci-
lities, determination of connection (plant capacity) and main
extension charges will be based upon the use the prospective
contributor, as accepted by Utility. (25-10.121(11), F.A.C.)
5.0 PREPARATION OF DEVELOPER AGREEMENTS
Utility may require that the contributor, in addition to the
fees and charges set forth herein, bear the cost of prepara-
tion of developer agreement.,by independent counsel or persons
qualified to draft and prepare such agreements. Sain charges
shall not exceed that amount normally to be contemplated for
such service.
(25-10.137, F.A.C; 25-10.139, F.A.C.)
6.0 WATER AND SEWER CAPACITY ALLOCATIONS
Upon payment by the contributor and its proper execution of
an agreement for service availability pursuant to these rules,
Utility will reserve and will allocate to the contributor the

t'

GENERAL, DEVELOPMENT UTILITIES, INC. ORIGINAL SHEET.NO. 5.0
SEBASTIAN HIGHLANDS DIVISION
(Continued from Sheet No. 4.0)
portion of water and sewer plant and off-site line capacity
as set forth in the agreement. If for example, the contribu-
tor shall calculate demand of 350 gallons of water per day
per single family residence, that capacity will be built or
reserved for the contributor. Utility will not be obligated
to provide capacity in excess of that allocation and may re-
quire consumers to curtail use which exceeds such allocated
capacity.
In those areas where the experience of Utility has demonstrated
that the demand characteristics of customers of the community
exceed those daily rated gallons of demand set forth in Exhibit
A, Utility shall require that the contributor pay those fees
and make the necessary commitments based on the actual and ex-
perienced demand, and not the average demand. Thus, when Utility
shall demonstrate to the developer that its records and experi-
ence show, for example, that a single-family residence of the
type which the contributor proposes to build in the specific
community places demand during certain times of the year equal
to 600 gallons of water per day, then the charges per gallon
demand set forth in Paragraph 3.0 of this Policy shall be multi-
plied by 600 gallons. In no event shall Utility be required to
build or accept plans, specifications, fees, charges or agreements
predicated upon demand for water service of less than 350 gallons
per single-family residential equivalent or sewer service or
less than 350 gallons per residential equivalent per day.
(25-10.121(13), F.A.C. )
7.0 WATER SERVICE ONLY - SEWER SERVICE ONLY
In any instance where either water or sewer service only is
furnished without the companion service, then the connection
(plant capacity) charge shall be computed for that service only.

Utility will not be obligated to furnish water in excess of
"Maximum Water Use Demand." Recommended Maximum Rate for
continuous operation will be 1/3 of the Maximum Rate listed.
Meters over 2 inches in site are charged upon the estimated
actual cost of installation. Where actual charges differ
from estimates, the difference will be refunded by Utility
if the total cost was less than the estimate, or paid by the
contributor prior to initiation of water service if the actual
cost exceeds the estimated cost. The contributor will be
furnished with a copy of the invoice at the time of installa-
tion.
9.0 ACTION BY GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY
Requirements by appropriate governmental authorities to limit
or curtail utility services, such as irrigation moratoriums,
may restrict the use of utility services in addition to the
maximum water use demand set forth in Paragraph 8.0 of this
Policy. Contributors and customers obtain reservation for
__service or the service itself subject to notice of this limi-
tation,
10.0 TRANSFER OF CONTRIBUTED PROPERTY - BILLS OF SALE
Utility reserves the right to construct all facilities for
providing water. and sewer :service:to the point of connection.
If Utility determines that it will accept such facilities
constructed by others, the following rules will apply:
,Each contributor (developer) who has constructed portions of
a water distribution and sewage collection system shall con-
vey
onvey such component parts of the water distribution and sewage
collection system to Utility by bill of sale, in form satis-
factory to Utility's attorney, together with such evidence as
may be required by Utility that the water and/or sewer systems
proposed to be transferred to Utility are free of all liens
and encumbrances.
Any facilities in the category of consumer's connections of
the customer's side of the connection point shall not be
transferred to Utility and shall remain the property of indi-
vidual customers, their successors or assigns.
Utility shall not be required to accept title to any component
part of the water distribution and sewage collection system
(Continued to Sheet No. 7.0)
Gerard P. Mozian
Executive Vice President
GENERAL DEVELOPMENT UTILITIES, INC. ORIGINAL SHEET NO. 7.0
SEBASTIAN HIGHLANDS DIVISION
(Continued from Sheet No. 6.0)
until Utility's engineer has approved the construction of
said lines, accepted the tests to determine that such con-
struction is in accordance with the criteria established by
Utility, and thereafter evidenced its acceptance of such
lines for Utility's ownership, operation, and maintenance.
Contributor shall maintain accurate cost records establishing
the construction costs of all utility facilities constructed
by contributor. Such cost information shall be furnished to
Utility concurrently with the bill of sale, and such cost
information shall be a prerequisite for the acceptance by
Utility of the portion of the water distribution and sewage
collection system constructed by the contributor.
Utility reserves the right to refuse contributor and to deny
the commencement of service to any contributor seeking to
be connected to portions of the water distribution and sew-
age collection system until such time as the provisions of
this section have been fully met.
With respect to a development which constitutes a "single
unit" such as a mobile home park, a shopping center, or
apartment complex, Utility's obligation for service and....
maintenence of lines and facilities located wholly within
such development, and not in public rights of way, shall
extend solely to repair and/or maintenance of the lines
or facilities, and Utility will not be liable in any manner
for damages, replacement or repairs to surface areas.
11.0 INSPECTION FEES
Any engineering plans or designs for, or construction of
facilities by a contributor (developer) which are to become
a part of Utility's system, will be subject to review and
inspection by Utility. For this service, Utility may charge
an inspection fee based upon the actual cost to Utility of
inspection of facilities constructed by contributors or
independent contractors for connection with the facilities
of Utility. Such inspection fee shall be paid by the con-
tributor in addition to all other charges above stated, as
a condition precedent to service.
