2014 Sewer Charge Comparison <br />$120 <br />$100 <br />$ 80 <br />$60 <br />$40 <br />4S 1b4oygAN' 4�����3 <br />�t <br />►' <br />156 <br />157 <br />158 In this instance, Roseville sewer charges were less than the median. To get a broader perspective, the <br />159 following chart depicts the combined water and sewer impact for a typical single-family home for the <br />160 comparison group. <br />161 <br />162 <br />163 <br />164 When combined, Roseville is approximately 18% above the average for the peer group. However, it <br />165 should be noted that most of the cities shown in the chart that have lower utility rates, happen to have <br />166 much higher property tax rates. This is an important distinction because again, each City employs a <br />167 different philosophy in how it funds the direct and indirect costs of providing services. <br />168 <br />169 Roseville's philosophy is to ensure that all indirect costs are reflected in the water and sewer rates. This <br />17o results in higher water and sewer rates. This also means that we don't have as much indirect costs <br />171 being supported by the property tax or assessments. <br />172 <br />173 This can be somewhat reflected in the chart below which combines property taxes and water and sewer <br />174 charges for a typical single-family home. <br />175 <br />Page 7 of 8 <br />2014 Water & Sewer Charge Comparison <br />$200 <br />$180 <br />$160 <br />$140 <br />$120 <br />$100 <br />$80 <br />10 <br />0 <br />14e <br />C <br />164 When combined, Roseville is approximately 18% above the average for the peer group.
