Costs associated with assigned personnel are <br />expected to increase 6.6% which includes a 2% cost -of -living adjustment and a 5% increase for healthcare <br />costs. It also includes additional monies for an intern position to avail more resources for the utility <br />billing function. These added costs will be offset by a decline in water purchases and energy costs. <br />45 The single largest operating cost for the water operation is the purchase of wholesale water from the St. <br />46 Paul Regional Water System. SPRWS Officials have informed us that there will not be an increase in <br />47 the cost of purchasing wholesale water in 2016. <br />48 <br />49 Because overall expenditures and scheduled capital improvements are largely unchanged, both the water <br />5o base and usage fee can remain the same as it was in 2015. <br />51 <br />52 <br />Page 2 of 10 <br />
