The 2012 Budget has been designed to assist in achieving the goals
detailed in SAWS' mission and vision statements. Included among these goals is a commitment to the customers and communities we serve to provide courteous, quality and timely service at an affordable price, as well as a further commitment to execute our 50-year conservation and
water supply strategy to ensure sufficient supplies are available both during normal conditions and critical drought periods.
The 2012 Budget provides for the resources to achieve SAWS' goals through many ongoing operating initiatives and capital projects.
Among these projects and initiatives are:
To meet the revenue requirements of the 2012 Budget, a combined increase in water supply,
water delivery and wastewater rates of 7.9% is proposed for 2012 for the average residential
customer. The primary drivers of the proposed rate increase are the financing needs of the
capital improvement program to include the aggressive water supplies development efforts, and
the need to ensure that debt coverage levels are consistent with rating agencies' expectations
for issuing continued high ratings for SAWS debt issuances in support of the capital
improvements program.
