Our ordinance states that rates will be
set by a resolution of the council. If you would like a copy of
that ordinance, I can send it to you. We indexed the water and
wastewater rates according to two different inflation indices. The
fixed costs (capital construction, improvements, etc.) are indexed to the
McGraw-Hill construction price index, and the variable costs (those related to
actual production costs—the more produced, the more cost-such as
chemicals, electricity, etc) are indexed by the Portland CPI. I can send
you that resolution as well, if it will assist you. Just let me
know. Take care and have a great day!!

Subject: [occma] CPI rates
After emails that were going around a few weeks ago
regarding raising rates according to the yearly CPI, I approached my Council
about the same topic. They thought that was an excellent idea and would
like to do the same here. I am looking for any Ordinances that might stay
raising water/sewer rates according to the CPI. Thanks to all that
respond and help me from reinventing the wheel.
