Roseville Finance Commission <br />Agenda Item <br /> <br />Page 11 of 12 <br /> <br />To get a broader perspective, the following chart has been prepared depicting the combined water and <br />sewer impact for a typical single-family home for the comparison group. <br /> <br /> <br />When combined, Roseville is approximately 14% above the average for the peer group. <br /> <br />It should be noted that most of the cities shown in the chart that have lower water & sewer rates, happen <br />to have much higher property tax rates. This is an important distinction because again, each City employs <br />a different philosophy in how it funds the direct and indirect costs of providing water & sewer services. <br /> <br />Roseville’s philosophy is to ensure that all indirect costs are reflected in the water and sewer rates. This <br />results in higher water and sewer rates. This also means that we don’t have as many indirect costs being <br />supported by the property tax or assessments. We can adjust for these differences by combining property <br />taxes and water & sewer fees for a typical single-family home. <br /> <br /> $80 <br /> $100 <br /> $120 <br /> $140 <br /> $160 <br />2016 Water & Sewer Fee Comparison: SF Residential
