- Notice of Public Hearing Purpose: The City of St. George, Utah will hold public hearings to review and take public comment regarding non-reciprocal transfers for unbilled utility services from the Electric and Water Funds to other City Funds. Public Hearing: Thursday, June 7, 2018 at 5:00 pm. St. George City Hall, 175 E 200 N, St. George, UT 84770 Background: The City of St. George has funds that operate as business-type funds, providing water and energy services to customers and charging fees based upon consumption (usage) at rates established by the St. George City Council. Most city-owned facilities are charged for these services, but some services are provided at no cost to the City. For example, the Water Fund provides water for some city parks, landscaping, city facilities and right-of-ways. Similarly, the Electric Fund provides power to city wells and pump stations used by the Water Fund to distribute water to customers. For the current fiscal year ending June 30, 2018, the total amount of unbilled utility services is estimated to be approximately $436,900 for water and $1,085,700 for electricity. The costs indicated in this notice are already included in the rates utility customers are currently paying, and we estimate that each customer is billed an average of $1.00 per month for these costs. This notice is for informational purposes only and this practice of unbilled utility services does not result in a proposed increase in the water or electric rates. However, the 2018-2019 budget does include a proposed water rate increase due to increased costs from suppliers. The proposed water increase is $0.10 per 1,000 gallons. For the current fiscal year 2017-2018, the estimated amount of unbilled utility services is as follows: Fund Receiving Service Unbilled Electricity Unbilled Water General Fund $ 41,900 $ 400,900 Water Fund $984,600 $ 3,400 Energy Fund $ 59,200 $ 4,000 Regional Wastewater Treatment $ 0 $ 28,300 Public Transit Fund $ 0 $ 300 Total Unbilled Amount $1,085,700 $436,900 For next fiscal year 2018-2019, the unbilled utility services are budgeted as follows: Fund Receiving Service Unbilled Electricity Unbilled Water General Fund $ 43,000 $ 421,000 Water Fund $1,015,000 $ 4,000 Energy Fund $ 62,000 $ 4,500 Regional Wastewater Treatment $ 0 $ 30,000 Public Transit Fund $ 0 $ 500 Total Unbilled Amount $1,120,000 $460,000 For questions or comments regarding this public notice, please contact the following individuals at 435-627-4000 or click here to email.
