Pricing was developed with the intention of recovering the full cost of the system without impacting the financial position of CWW’s retail customer service. Raftelis assisted CWW with pricing development used in the acquisition proposal. CWW proposed to assume responsibility for purchase, capital maintenance, expansion, and operation of the systems. Raftelis assisted the Columbus Water Works (CWW) in development of 50-year contract pricing for the acquisition and operation of water and wastewater systems at Fort Benning, Georgia. Raftelis has been assisting Columbus Water Works on rate issues since 2001. Currently, Fort Benning uses approximately 10 million gallons of water and wastewater services daily. Raftelis assisted CWW with updates to contract pricing associated with Base Reauthorization and Closure (BRAC) efforts which significantly expanded the Fort Benning mission. Raftelis also assisted the CWW in development of 50-year contract pricing for the acquisition and operation of water and wastewater systems at Fort Benning, Georgia.

Comprehensive presentation packages used to persuade Board members of the need for a five-year program of rate increases under the new rate structure. Sensitivity analysis was developed to demonstrate the financial consequences of maintaining the status quo. Fund balance tracking mechanisms were established to ensure the availability of adequate funds for capital needs, operating capital, and rate smoothing in future years. The study used a five- to 10-year planning horizon that incorporated long-term capital planning needs, debt funding assumptions, operating cost projections, and demand projections. The cost of service and rate design used a detailed customer class and bill frequency analysis to evaluate a variety of rate restructuring approaches.
In addition to the core project scope, Raftelis performed analyses of numerous alternative-pricing schemes for providing negotiated water and sewer service to the Army base of Fort Benning. The task was complicated by the recent departure of several large contract and wholesale customers and major looming capital needs. The project’s aim was to develop and implement equitable yet understandable cost-based rate structures for both inside-city and contract customers. Raftelis was engaged by the Columbus Water Works (CWW) to conduct a multiphase project involving a financial management systems evaluation, cost-of-service analysis, block rate design, contract rate analysis, and financial reporting system review.
