REVENUE CAP A CITY INFORMA TION Revenue capacity information is provided to assist users in understanding the factors affecting the Authority's ability to generate sources of revenue. In setting the user rate and availability fee structure, the Authority's general practice has been to cover projected operating costs with user rates and to cover projected capital improvement costs with availability fees. That practice generally allows growth in use of the Authority's services to pay for the additional costs of expanding the Authority's system capacity. The tables below set forth historical user and availability fees for a typical customer over the last ten years. For a complete schedule of all rates and fees, please contact the Authority's Customer Service Department at 703-335-7950 or mail your request to PWCSA, Customer Service Department, PO Box 2266, Woodbridge, Virginia 22195-2266. TABLE 3 Water and Wastewater Charges – Last Ten Fiscal Years (in dollars) User fees consist of a fixed monthly service charge, plus a commodity charge for water and sewer service. The monthly service fee is designed to recover fixed administrative costs and is based on meter size and the type of service being provided (water and/or sewer). Commodity charges cover the cost of purchased water and sewage treatment as well as the cost of operation and maintenance for the Service Authority’s lines, pumping stations and water storage tanks. Commodity rates are based on the revenue class (Residential or Commercial) and the type of service being provided, and are billed based on metered water usage. Through the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, any rate increases were effective September 1 of the fiscal year. Starting in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 rate increases were effective on January 1.
