SEBASTIAN HIGHLANDS RATE CASE
1980 Test Year
Response to Inquiry No. 6
The development of a rate structure involves the determina-
tion of how the total revenue requirement will be allocated
among the customers. There are various rate structure
options including: flat rate charges, block rates, demand
rates and social pricing. The development of a rate struc-
ture is based in part on value judgements. Generally, a
rate structure should:
1. cover the cost of providing service
2. be reasonable from an administrative stand-
point in its application
3. provide for customer understanding and acceptance
4. provide revenue and rate stability over time
5. discourage waste of the service
6. promote efficiency in the use of the facilities
providing service
7. avoid undue discrimination by providing for
equity in the distribution of cost across
customer classes.
The development of a rate structure is not very scientific.
It is more of an art. Rates are designed to satisfy those
items mentioned above and involve compromise among partly
conflicting goals.
Because of the multiple goals involved in the development
of a rate structure, there is no direct classification of
costs which can be directly linked to being recovered through
the base facility vs. usage charge. As the schedules on
pages 2 and 3 of this response indicate, a strict adherence
to a base facility vs. usage classification would require that
base facility rates be higher and usage rates lower than
those proposed by GDU. GDU feels it is in the public inter-
est to have the base facility charges as proposed, since this
gives the customers more control over their individual bills
while, at the same time, spreading the total costs of pro-
viding service more equitably over all customers.

SEBASTIAN HIGHLANDS RATE CASE
1980 Test Year
Response to Inquiry No. 10
Inquiry: What were the reasons for increases in operation
and maintenance expenses between 1979 and 1980? What im-
pact did inspections from DER have in the Test Year?
Response: The primary reason for the increase in operation
and maintenance expense was due to payroll and payroll -
related items. The calendar year 1980 was the first year
that required a full-time employee to be stationed in the
Sebastian system. This was required due to the anticipated
expansions of the water and wastewater plants. Treatment
plants with a Class "C" rating require licensed operator
coverage. This employee's time was spent in the operation
and maintenance of both systems. Maintenance expense for
sewer lift stations increased due to a motor burining up.
DER inspections during 1980 resulted in the following
items needing to be addressed:
(1) only one production well in service
(2) inadequate pumping facilities
(3) no auxillary power for pumping facilities
(4) miscellaneous items as to the general
condition of the plants.
Actions were taken in 1980 to address these issues. A
second production well was brought on line, certain pumping
equipment was upgraded, and an automatic start-up system was
installed to provide auxillary power. The costs of doing
this work was capitalized. Miscellaneous work required
around the plant would have been properly charged to main-
tenance accounts.
Inquiry No. 10
General Development Utilities, Inc
May 4, 1982
r
The Honorable Pat Flood, Jr.
Mayor, City of Sebastian
P. 0. Box 127
City Hall
Sebastian, FL 32958
RE: General Development Utilities, Inc. Request for a Change
in Water and Sewer Rates and a Change in Service Avail-
ability and Main Extension Policy Charges
Dear Mayor Flood:
As you stated in your letter of April 28, 1982 the City Council
of the City of Sebastian has spent a great deal of time and
analysis in reviewing General Development Utilities' request
in the above referenced filing. As I stated at the April 27,
1982 public workshop, General Development Utilities feels that
it is in the best interest of both the utility and the customers
served by our water and sewer systems in Sebastian Highlands to
resolve the various issues involved without having to seek a
review by a court. The City Council has indicated that they feel
a rate for sewer service of $10.00 per month per residential
connection is fair. While General Development Utilities feels
its filing documents support the level of revenues requested in
this proceeding, the $10.00 flat rate per month charge per resi-
dential connection is a reasonable resolution of the issues in-
volved in this case in light of the philosophy mentioned above.
Your letter also outlines the methodology that the Council pro-
poses to use for a computation of sewer rates which is based upon
specifically identified items of operating expenses divided by
1200, the total permitted equivalent residential connections for
our 300,000 GPD wastewater treatment plant. General Development
Utilities agrees to use this same methodology in the next rate
case except for the question of the total potential equivalent
residential connections that this plant can service.
To be consistent with the approach used to resolve those issues
related to sewer service in this case, we propose that the rates
for basic water service be increased approximately 100%. The
basic water service would be for residential customers on 5/8 x 3/4'
meters using anywhere from 3,000 to 6,000 gallons of water per
month. For customers using less that the basic service, the in-
crease would be less, and for customers using more than the basic

service, the increase would be greater. This is because the new
rates have incorporated a conservation block rate structure to help
promote the efficient use of this natural resource. These new
rates, shown in attachments to this letter, would generate 125%
increase in revenues.
General Development believes that the charges outlined in its
Service Availability and Main Extension Policy are the rates that
should be implemented. Additional detail to support the rate for
the extension bf sewer mains is included._
General Development Utilities further agrees that it will not
file an application seeking an adjustment in rates until at least
six months from June 1, 1982.
If you or any of the Council have questions regarding this response,
please call me at your earliest convenience.

1.0 GENERAL POLICY
General Development Utilities, Inc., a Florida Corporation, here-
inafter referred to as Utility, adopts and incorporates herein by
reference Part IX, Rulgs and Regulations for Service Availability
for Water and Sewer Systems, of the Florida Public Service Commis-
sion, 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 Commission Rules and Regulations. This Policy
shall not apply to developer's agreements entered into between
Utility and contributors which reflect policies implemented and
contracts entered into prior to the adoption of Part IX, Rules and
Regulations, of the Florida Public Service Commission (25-10.120,
F.A.C.). The word "person" 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 the Policy are available to contributors through-
out the territory subject only to matters of economic feasibility.
For Rules governing service outside the territory, 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 Utility to contributors
(including the Parent Company) upon approval of the Board of County
Commissioners, 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 collection 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 facilities of the
Utility, and is computed by multiplying the following rates by the
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.
Connection (Plant Capacity) Charge Water: $0.86
Sewer: $2.22
Gerard P. Mozian
President
Gencral Development Utilities, Inc. Original Sliest ;%o. 4.0
Sebastian llighlands Division
Extension Charges are stated at the charge per foot measured along
front of the property to be served.
Main Extension Charge Water: $ 7.22
Sewer: $15.47
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 & SEWER DEMAND CHARACTERISTICS
Listed in Exhibit A (attached hereto) are daily rated gallons of
demand for various occupancies 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 facilities, determination of connection
(plant capacity) and main extension charges will be based upon the
use characteristic defined by engineering data supplied by 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 preparation of devel-
oper agreement by independent counsel or persons qualified to draft
and prepare such agreements. Said 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 plrrsuant to these rules, Utility
will reserve and will allocated to the contributor the portion of
water and sewer plant and off-site line capacity as set forth in the
agreement. If, for example, the contributor 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 or service in excess of
Gerard P. Mozian
President
General Development Utilities, Inc.
Sebastian Highlands Division
Original Sheet No. 5.0
that allocation and may require 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 experienced demand,
and not the average demand. Thus, when Utility shall demanstrate to
the developer that its records and experience show, for example,
that a single-family residence of the type which the contributor
proposed 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 Plicy shall be multiplied 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 equiva lent 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.

tion will be 1/3 of the Maximum Rate listed.
Meters of two inches in size 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 a copy of the invoice at
the time of installation.
9.0 ACTION BY GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY

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 limitation.
t,
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 convey such compon-
ent parts of the water distribution and sewage collection system to
Utility by bill of sale, in form satisfactory 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 cus-
tomer's side of the connection point shall not be transferred to
Utility and shall remain the property of individual customers, their
successors or assigns.
Utility shall not be required to accept title to any component part
of the water distribution or sewage collection system until
Utility's engineer has approved the construction of said lines,
accepted the tests to determine that such construction is in accor-
dance with the criteria established by Utility, and thereafter evi-
denced its acceptance of such lines for Utility's ownership, opera-
tion, and maintenance.
Contributor shall maintain accurate cost records establishing the
construction costs of all utility facilities constructed by con-
tributor. 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 connection and to deny the
commencement of service to any contributor seeking to be connected
to portions of the water distribution and sewage 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 maintenance of lines and faci-
lities located wholly within such developments, and not in public
Gerard P. Mozian

General Development Utilities, Inc. Original Sheet No. 7.0
Sebastian Highlands Division
rights of way, shall extend solely to repair and/or replace the
lines or facilities, and the Utility will not be liable in any
manner for damages, replacement or repairs to surface areas.
11.0 INSPECTION FEES 9,
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 the 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 fac-
ilities of Utility. Such inspection fee shall be paid by the con-
tributor in addition to all other charges above stated, as a condi-
tion precedent to service.
12.0 INSPECTION OF PLUMBER'S HOOK-UP
It shall be the responsibility of the contributor or its.plumbing
contractor to connect contributor's plumbing installation with the
water or sewer system. Utility reserves the right to inspect all
such connections to be assured that the same are properly made in
accordance with Utility's rules governing such connections, and that
the connection, as made, is free from infiltration.
The contributor shall notify Utility of any proposed interconnection
with the facilities of Utility, and connection may be made without
the presence of Utility's inspector. However, such connection shall
remain open until inspection by Utility and until notice of the
approval of such connection is furnished to the developer in
accordance with the practices and procedures of Utility. Any
connection covered without the benefit of inspection will result in
the contributor being required to reopen the connection for
subsequent inspection. If Utility fails -to inspect the connection
within 48 hours after notice that the same is ready to inspect, the
connection shall be deemed approved by Utility.
13.0 ADJUSTMENT PROVISIONS
Governmental Authority: The charges set forth in this Policy are
subject to adjustment by appropriate action of the governmental
agency having jurisdiction of this Policy, either upon the
initiative of the governmental agency or by request of Utility
(25-10.141, F.A.C.).
14.0 PRIOR POLICY
Prior to the adoption of this Policy, Utility had, by virtue of its
obligations, established other policies which will remain in effect
until the obligations pursuant to those policies have been
fulfilled.
Gerard P. Mozian
President
Ccncr.;l T)cvclopment Utilities, Inc. Original Sheet No. 8.0
Sebastian Highlands Division
Under a previous program, Utility constructs water facilities at its
own cost covering approximately 1418 lots to which water service would be
extended by Utility within sixty days after the building permit has
been obtained and notification of commencement of construction has
been given to Utility. The cost of such water facilities is to be
borne solely by Utility as an investment. The only charge to the
customer would be a meter installation fee. Utility made a commit-
ment to provide sewer service to approximately 1418 lots, and facilities
will be installed as an investment of Utility to those lots. These
commitments by Utility were based upon contracts made in the past
and are not available to prospective customers or contributors. A
list showing the lots to which service will be made available, as an
investment by Utility, is available in Utility's office, and may be
examined by any customer or prospective customer during the regular
business hours of Utility's office (25-10.120, F.A.C.).
15.0 EXTENSION OUTSIDE TERRITORY
Providing service outside Utility's territory may involve formal
notice and formal proceedings before the Board of City
Commissioners and, therefore, entail engineering, administrative and
legal expenses in addition to costs incurred by Utility in providing
service within its territory. Utility will, therefore, not be
obligated to provide its services outside the territory unless the
contributor agrees, in advance, to defray those additional expenses
and pay to Utility the estimated costs thereof. The advance payment
will be adjusted to conform with actual expenses after the
proceedings have been concluded. Utility will further make such
extensions outside the territory only if the net income. to be
derived from prospective consumers within the area to be served by
the proposed extension will provide a fair return on Utility's
investment in the proposed extension, transmission, and treatment
facilities involved. Utility will not extend its facilities under
circumstances where the extensions will cause service to existing
customers to suffer either as a result of reduction of capacity to
provide its service to customers, or the diminishment of the
economic capacility of Utility to meet its financial commitments
(see Section 367.061; 367.121(2), Florida Statutes).
16.0 DISTRIBUTION AND COLLECTION SYSTEMS CONSTRUCTION
If any on-site distribution and collection systems are constructed
by the contributor as set forth in Paragraph 10.0 herein, Utility
shall establish specifications basedrupon good engineering and
public utility practices, and the contributor shall, not less than
sixty (60) days prior to commencing construction, furnish Utility
with a complete copy of the plans and specifications of the proposed
on-site collection and distribution system. Utility shall have
thirty (30) days in which to determine the acceptability of the
plans and specifications furnished to it by the contributor. If the
Utility shall object to the plans and specifications or any part
thereof, the contributor shall defer the commencement of

OriFinr,! Sheet No. 9.0
construction pending the resolution of Utility's objections
(25-10.127, F.A.C.).
17.0 INSPECTIONS
Utility shall have, at all times during the construction, the right
to inspect the construction of the on-site distribution and/or coll-
ection systems being built by the contributor, or his agents or em-
ployees, as set forth in Paragraph 11.0 of this Policy and receive
payment of fees referred to herein.
18.0 REFUNDABLE ADVANCES
Utility may require, in addition to the charges set forth herein, a
refundable advance by a contributor to temporarily defray the cost
of any off-site extension of water and/or sewer mains, pumping
stations, and other facilities necessary to connect the developer's
property with the then proper point of interconnection with
Utility's existing water and sewer facilities, in size needed to
provide service to the subject property. The contributor may be
required to advance to Utility additional main extension charges
based upon the anticipated hydraulic load requirements of the
undeveloped property in order that such off-site facilities may be
constructed to serve the developer's property and be in accordance
with Utility's master plant for service to the immediate surrounding
area. Charges paid by the contributor over and above the
contributor's hydraulic share of the off-site facilities, shall be
refunded to the developer in accordance with the terms and
conditions of a refunding agreement which Utility will execute with
the contributor. The refund agreement will provide for a plan of
refund based upon connection of other properties to the extent of
their hydraulic share with other properties that will be served by
the off-site facilities and styled at the expense of the
contributor. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section,
Utility may limit the life of the refund agreement to a term of at
least seven years, after which time a portion of the refund not made
to the contributor by the terms and conditions of the refund
agreement shall be cancelled. In no event shall a contributor
recover an amount greater than the difference between the
capitalized cost of such off-site improvements and the developer's
own hydraulic share of such improvement. Utility will not include
any interest upon the refund of the developer's advance
(25-10.111(20), F.A.C.).
VY
19.0 GUARANTEED REVENUE AGREEMENT
Utility may establish a policy of requiring, as a condition prece-
dent to service, that the contributor (developer) enter into a guar-
anteed revenue agreement, as defined in Commission Rule No.
25-10.121(12).

20.0 RESERVE CAPACITY CHARGE
Pursuant to Section 25-10.134 and 25-10.138, F.A.C., Utility may
enter into an agreement with a contributor requiring contributor to
pay a minimum guarantagd connection charge. If contributor wishes
to insure that there will be available sufficient plant capacity at
various planned stages of development and, if Utility agrees to
reserve such capacity for contributor, the contributor will be
required to pay applicable fixed costs including depreciation,
property tax, insurance and interest costs on plant capacity
reserved for the period of the reservation.
