REVISED DRAFT b. The total revenue requirement for the Wastewater Utility portion of the test year is estimated to be $4,372,792. c. Since the 1999 study, total water consumption has fallen from 546 million cubic feet to 498 million cubic feet in 2001, a 9% decrease. This decline is primarily a result of a reduction in water purchases by Campbell Soup, as well as a decline in wateryurchases by the Residential customer class. d. In 1998, the Residential wastewater winter average was 675 cubic feet. The winter average for 2001 declined to 651 cubic feet, a 4% decrease. e. There appears to be a discrepancy between the City's residential water billings and wastewater billings. The City uses the months of November, January and February to calculate the residential wastewater winter average, which is used as the maximum monthly volume ("cap") that can be billed a customer during the following year. Generally, wastewater billings remain slightly below the winter average during winter and spring months, however, as water consumption increases during the summer and fall months, the wastewater billings approach the winter average cap. The City's wastewater billing infonnation shows that the wastewater billings have stayed well below the winter average (approximately 100 cubic feet on average). In fact, June 2001 had the lowest wastewater billings for FY 2000/2001, even though it was the third highest month in water consumption. f.
