About the Cover - “Water Resources – One Water”
The concept of “one water” has been around for several years in the water and wastewater industry. As a general rule, the industry has kept drinking water and wastewater separate. Now, due to water shortages in some areas of North America and throughout the world, we’ve added repurified water (e.g., reuse or reclaimed water) to the mix. Stormwater has also become a more focal target as rainfall hits our paving and rooftops and generates significant runoff volume into our streams and rivers. The Water and Sewer Department is changing our entire approach to water use in the City; considering it a single resource – or One Water. We are therefore changing our Department name to Murfreesboro Water Resources.
The Murfreesboro Water Resources Department was recently recognized as a Water Resources Utility of the Future Today. As a Utility of the Future, MWRD must be “change-ready” and “rebrand” both our role and the products we produce. We are One Community that must make full use of our One Water. MWRD looks forward to the challenges facing our community as they are seen as opportunities to lead and advance the culture into a Right Water for Right Use mentality. As part of this rebranding, the Sinking Creek Wastewater Plant will be renamed the Stones River Water Resource Reclamation Facility (WRRF).

BUDGET MESSAGE
May 10, 2017 Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council and Water Resource Board, RE: Draft 2017-18 (FY18) Budget I submit to you the 2017-2018 (FY18) Draft Budget for review and consideration. It is presented in the same format that the City Budget has been prepared. As the City budget is amended so will the Water Resource and Stormwater budgets. The multiple accomplishments of the Murfreesboro Water Resource Department (MWRD) for FY17 are detailed on page 22 of this document. The Department’s highlighted or most significant accomplishments for FY17 are associated with completing the construction of the Broad St. pump station near International Paper, completing the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) implementation, continued construction of the Phase 4D Sinking Creek Water Resource Recovery facility, installing three (3) biosolids presses at the Sinking Creek plant and initiating a pilot study to generate Class “A” biosolids using lime pasteurization (creating a commodity fertilizer in lieu of a landfilled waste product). The Department’s FY18 goals are detailed on page 23. The most significant ongoing projects by the Department are the anticipated completion of the Sinking Creek Water Resource Recovery Facility, expanding the plant from a rated 16 million gallons per day (MGD) to 24 MGD. MWRD also anticipates completing its Water Resources Integration Plan (WRIP) that complements the City’s Comprehensive Plan; ensuring proper water resources and infrastructure are in place for supporting the vision for growth in Murfreesboro’s Urban Growth Boundary (UGB). Completion of pumping station #13 on DeJarnette Lane is anticipated in the upcoming year. Also, the Department expects to initiate a Waste Load Allocation (WLA) model in conjunction with development of a new National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit rationale. Customer Service renovations are planned to occur in FY18 as well as a more intentional approach to have customers participate in our “Help 2 Others” (H2O) to help supplement low income customers’ ability to pay their water and sewer bills.
8
The water resources FY18 draft budget is balanced and is not expected to deviate significantly from the overall revenue and expense total of $51,164,000. This amount is a $1,074,500 over the FY17 budget and $534,000 under FY17 projected revenues.
The $1,074,500 increase in budget can be attributed to the following:
1) An adjustment in the rate design as well as an anticipated reduction in sewer commodity revenue
due to General Mills / Yoplait land applying approximately 550,000 gallons per day on the Indian Hills Golf Course. The combination of the rate design increasing revenue and the aforementioned revenue decrease results in an estimated net increase of $360,000. Chart 1 identifies those components that make up the increase and shortfall anticipated to yield a net increase of $360,000 in revenue
2) The tap revenue has been increased by $700,000 for FY18 due to anticipated growth and connections made to the Department’s sewer system. Tap revenue is simply being adjusted above what was budgeted for FY17. Tap revenue is a direct corollary to the level of development that occurs within MWRD’s service area. All tap revenue is expensed to the Department’s working capital reserves to fund future capacity projects or major repair and replacement projects.

$1,766,254 of sinking funds are being earmarked to assign the excess revenue for future construction or repair and replacement. The sinking funds identified below have been assigned rate revenue since FY15. The total FY18 earmarked amounts and FY15-17 “banked” amounts are as tabulated below:
FY18 Budget FY15-17 Budget 1. Water Plant Membrane Replace (Funding Complete) $ - $800,000 2. Lift Station Replacement (Ongoing) $250,000 $910,000 3. Biosolids Storage & Processing Equipment $500,000 $1,300,000 4. NE Regional P.S. & FM (10-yrs for $10.0M) $890,000 $1,500,000 5. Walter Hill Dam Remediation/Rehabilitation $125,000 $ -
The sinking funds will be sustained until such time that the entire anticipated debt service hits in the first quarter of 2018 and potentially eliminates the opportunity to continue supporting sinking funds for cash funded projects. The use of sinking funds reduces the need to incur debt thereby alleviating the need for future rate increases. Based on the FY15 Cost of Service Study (COSS) and FY20 Pro Forma developed by Jackson Thornton Financial Consultants, the following chart identifies the revenue deficit projected for the water resources enterprise funds as it relates to the over-recovery that was experienced in FY15.

Table 1 itemizes the projects that will ultimately equal an approximate annual debt service of $3.0 million dollars. Approximately $2.13M of that annual debt service payment is built into the Department’s FY18 budget; based on the completion of the Southwest regional pumping station, force main, and Sinking Creek Headworks projects, and 85% completion of the Sinking Creek Plant Expansion Phase 4D.

A rate structure change is recommended for FY18. Since July 2008, a rate strategy has been implemented to reduce the consumption allowance for a minimum bill over multiple years. In FY14, the minimum monthly allowance for 5/8 inch meters was reduced to a zero minimum allowance per month. In FY16, customers with a 5/8 inch meter (primarily residential) were increased by $0.50 on the sanitary sewer minimum monthly bill. Approximately 96% of MWRD’s customers have 5/8” meters. In FY18, staff is recommending no rate increase for customers with 5/8 inch meters. With no rate increase, the
11
Department maintains AWWA’s affordability index, or 4% of a very low income earner as defined by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The proposed FY18 rate design also reduces the minimum monthly allowance for all meter sizes one (1”) inch and greater by one hundred (100%) percent. FY18 completes the reduction of all allowances for meters sizes one (1”) inch and greater. The minimum monthly monetary charges for all meter sizes remain the same. Table 2 provides the average monthly dollar increase for each size meter one (1”) inch and greater.

The water and sewer rate has been changed to $ per 1,000 gallons instead of $ per 100 cubic feet. Since all allowances are being eliminated as part of the FY18 proposed rate ordinance, the 90 cents per 100 cubic feet Operation and Maintenance Fee can be incorporated into the sewer rate. The water rate is recommended at $3.66 per 1,000 gallons ($0.00366 per gallon) and the sewer rate is recommended at $5.67 per 1,000 gallons ($.00567 per gallon). The average monthly bill for an MWRD customer that uses 5,200 gallons per month for water and 4,800 gallons per month of sewer will remain the same, or $66.70 per month.
There are no increases recommended to the water and sewer connection fees. Based on findings in the Cost of Service Study by Jackson Thornton Utilities in 2007, water and sewer connection fees were scheduled to increase annually until the water connection fee reached $1,700 and the sewer connection fee $3,300. The Study identifies connection fees that can be justified based on utility assets. However, when setting these fees the regional market and economy are taken into account. These increases are recommended to be suspended and considered again next year. The FY18 total operating expenses, including benefits and payroll, decreased $(329,641), or -1.52% under the FY17 budgeted amount. The following personnel requests, the FY18 personnel budget is expected to increase by 1.25% or $134,346. There are a total of 164 full time and four (4) part time positions budgeted for FY17. Included in the full time positions are seven (7) positions in the stormwater department. There are three (3) new positions requested for the FY18 personnel budget:
12
1. Administration/Finance – One (1) position is anticipated to be cut from MWRD’s payroll budget.
Ms. Peggy Goodwin’s position of Admin Aide II is no longer deemed necessary. . 2. Engineering – Two (2) new Full Time Equivalents are requested for the Engineering Division.
One (1) full-time GIS Technician and one of the following options: a. Two (2) part-time Engineering Support Specialists (Cooperative Students), or b. One (1) full-time Engineer-in-Training (EIT).
The GIS position is necessary to increase the effectiveness of the GIS Coordinator to allow
elevated duties in conjunction with the new CIS and AMI systems as well as start development
of the new Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS). The new GIS Technician
will take over the more routine GIS functions of Data Entry of Easements, Geocoding,
Subdivisions, Addressing, Impervious Surfaces, Water Infrastructure, Stormwater Infrastructure,
Reclaimed Water Infrastructure, etc. The part-time Engineering Support Specialists (Coop
Students) or EIT are deemed necessary to aid in the development plans review process and
development of plan of service responses for Planning Commission. The additional engineering
support would be groomed for potential backfill of a hard to fill position.
3. Operations & Maintenance – O&M is requesting two (2) new internal promotions that will culminate in two (2) new entry level hires as W/WW Laborers. The two (2) new internal promotions are requested as CCTV Technicians. Since the creation of the Department’s off-road sonar/CCTV crew in 2014 (FY15), the CCTV Vans operating in the road right-of-way have been down to one (1) FTE each. Their production has gone down by 50% and safety is a concern with only one (1) employee working in the road right-of-way. This request would bring the CCTV vans back to full operational output and increase safety with two (2) FTE’s in each van. The other internal promotion is the creation of a new W/WW Foreman. This position would be in charge of the New Construction Crew and would take over a portion of the duties that the Line Construction Coordinator position had previously been accountable for.
The rate funded capital budget is $5,928,620, which is a decrease of ($724,945) from the FY17 budget. MWRD’s goal is a minimum of $5 million per year in rate-funded capital purchases. With increased projected revenues from FY17 factored into the FY18 budget, staff is investing more into the Department’s sinking funds for future major repair and replacement projects. Debt service expense increased $1,239,271 as compared to the FY17 budget. This increase is due to the Sinking Creek plant expansion being around 85% complete and the full debt service for the $30.5M improvements hitting the books in FY18.

COMMUNITY PROFILE
OVERVIEW
Overview - Water Resources Department
Water service is provided through approximately 26,824 meter connections within the Murfreesboro Water Resources Department water service area (35.54 square miles), and sanitary sewer service is being provided to areas served in the Consolidated Utility District water service area for an estimated additional 18,093 sewer only customers. The City operates a separate fund for Stormwater services and has 34,939 customers. There are 60.46 square miles within the city limits and 179.6 square miles within the Murfreesboro Urban Growth Boundary (UGB). The City also operates the largest reclaimed water system in the State of Tennessee; having 160 customers and delivering between 4 to 8 million gallons per day of high quality repurified water. The Murfreesboro Water Resources Department (Department) is an enterprise fund of the City of Murfreesboro. The fund is managed to fully recover the expenses of providing services from users (as opposed to taxes) and to build and preserve a substantial, long lived capital asset base in the treatment facilities, water distribution and storage system, wastewater collection system and repurified water distribution and storage system. Because utilities have many characteristics of a business, business accounting and financial management rules are usually applied to enterprise funds. Because of this, the presentation of the Department differs from that of the City General Fund Budget. The Department’s aggressive maintenance and replacement programs result in a greater asset value. The Total Asset Value as of June 30, 2016 was $477,043,767, a 6.19% increase from FY15. The Department financial and management model is to improve infrastructure each year, strive to provide excellent customer service, make knowledge-based decisions, and stretch the dollar to get the maximum benefit and minimize waste. The employees of the Department are dedicated to providing its customers with a bountiful supply of clean, safe water, sanitary sewer service and recycled water service in the most economical and efficient way possible. The Department’s responsibility to manage the City’s municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit, which directly affects the quality of stormwater runoff within the City, allows for a holistic approach to affect the quality of the water we withdraw from our natural resources and the quality of the water returned to our streams, rivers and lakes. There are a total of 167 full time and four (4) part time positions in water and sewer, including eight (8) full time stormwater positions budgeted for FY18. There are three (3) licensed professional engineers, one (1) engineer-in-training, one (1) certified public accountant, three (3) professional operators, and fifty-one (51) employees with a Tennessee Certified Operators License for one or more of the following: water treatment, wastewater treatment, water distribution and wastewater collection system.

CITY GOVERNMENT
The City operates under a Council-Manager form of government. The governing body is the City Council, which consists of seven members who serve four-year terms of office. Non-partisan elections for City Council are held in even numbered years on a staggered basis. City Council members are elected at large. The City Council is responsible for adopting ordinances, the annual budget, appointing committees and establishing policies. The City Council appoints a City Manager, who is responsible for carrying out the policies and ordinances of the City Council and the day-to-day operations. The City Manager appoints and supervises the various department heads of the City. The Water and Sewer Department was created in 1958 by the adoption of a city ordinance. The powers and duties of the Board are established in Article IV of the Murfreesboro City Code. A seven member citizen advisory board has the oversight of department policy and financial operations. The Board makes recommendations to the City Council. User charges provide the sole source of revenue for the Water and Sewer Department. No general tax base revenues are received. The Murfreesboro Water and Sewer Board held its first meeting on December 12, 1958. The first members consisted of C. B. Huggins, Herman O. Jones (Councilman), Jennings A. Jones, Sam Lasseter, and Fount Pitts. At that time, the Mayor was A. L. Todd, Jr., City Manager was H. L. McCullough, and Joe W. Lovell was Superintendent of the Water Department. The Director of the Department reports to the City Manager. There have been five (5) Directors over the past fifty five years; Joe Lovell, Jim Clark, Doug Miller, Joseph Kirchner and Darren Gore. As of July 1, 2017, The Water and Sewer Department will be newly titled the Water Resources Department. The Water Resources Board meetings are held on the fourth Tuesday of each month at 3:30 p.m., at 1725 South Church Street, Murfreesboro.

BUDGET GUIDE
OVERVIEW
A budget is a financial and operating plan for a city enterprise fund for a period called a “fiscal year.” The budget is a plan for the use of the fund’s resources. Through these resources, services are provided to meet the needs and desires of water and sewer customers. The City of Murfreesboro’s and Water Resources Department’s fiscal year begins on July 1 and ends on June 30. The fiscal year that begins on July 1, 2017 is referred to as FY18.
BUDGET PROCESS The preliminary steps in the budget include a review of current economic conditions, revenue projections, community input, program initiatives, long range plans and federal and state mandates. The departmental budget requests are submitted to the Director. These budget requests are reviewed by the Director and Assistant Director of Finance and Administration. The City Charter provides that the City Manager must prepare a proposed budget and submit it to the City Council not later than May 15 each year. The Water Resources Board (Board) reviews the proposed budget at its April meeting. The Board recommends to the City Council the draft budget and any changes to rates and fees. The Director presents the draft budget and related recommendations to the City Council. The City Council conducts a public hearing on the proposed budget to obtain additional citizen input on the spending plan. Following the public hearing, the City Council amends the draft budgets as needed and adopts a budget ordinance for the city along with water and sewer rate ordinance and the water resources budget resolution. The WATER RESOURCES Department follows the general timeline in setting rates to coincide with the Department Budget Development:
• October Audit completed – Assessment of Working Capital Reserves available as of June 30.
• Cost of Service Study and Pro Forma commissioned in Sept/Oct. – Available by December.
• Capital Improvements Plan updated December – New Debt Service Cash Flow inserted into
Trailblaze Financial Model; Large Capital Outlay from Working Reserves Identified
• January/February – Board and Council Update on Revised CIP, Debt Service and Rate Design
• March - Initiate Preliminary Budget
18
MONITORING OF REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES Through the course of each fiscal year, the Director, Assistant Director of Finance and Administration and division heads monitor the budget established by City Council.
FUND OVERVIEW
FUND DESCRIPTIONS A fund is established to account for a specific activity or purpose. Law mandates the creation of some funds. Other funds are established by management to demonstrate financial compliance with budget or legal requirements. All of the funds of the City of Murfreesboro can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.
19
GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS Governmental funds are used to account for most of the City's basic services. Governmental fund information is useful in determining whether there are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent in the near future to finance the City's programs. The City of Murfreesboro maintains twenty-nine (29) individual governmental funds. The modified accrual accounting method is used to account for the City’s general government operations. This accounting method measures cash and all other financial assets that can be readily converted into cash.
Murfreesboro City Schools prepares a separate budget document.
PROPRIETARY FUNDS There are two types of proprietary funds: enterprise funds and internal service funds. Enterprise funds are used to account for operations that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises. The City's water resources department and electric department are the largest of these funds and prepare their own budget documents. While funds are appropriated by City Council, these enterprise funds are not presented in this document.
Internal service funds are used to account for activities that provide supplies and services for the City's other programs and activities. These services predominantly benefit governmental functions such as the fleet maintenance of vehicles and for its self-insurance programs.
FIDUCIARY FUNDS Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside of the government. The resources of those funds are not available to support the City's own programs. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is much like that used for proprietary funds. The Pension Fund is accounted for in this category.
EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION Department employees are covered under the city’s Classification and Compensation Plan.

General Mills & Indian Hills Collaboration) o In facilitating Development Partnerships that may benefit from unconventional sewage
treatment techniques (e.g., Dill/Rushing/Lyons Property). o Collaborating water management strategies with the Consolidated Utility District to
identify challenges and strategies to providing water services within the Urban Growth Boundary
Developed decentralized Septic Tank Effluent Pump (STEP) design guidelines for developments seeing a better business case or significant constraints in tying to MWRD’s centralized sewer collection system.
Completed Broad Street pump station near International Paper. This allowed abandonment of three (3) other pump stations – two (2) of which were at the end of their useful life.
Completed the implementation of an $8.3M Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) network across MWRD’s water service area. In conjunction with this implementation, MWRD has developed the meter reading workforce into a more sophisticated level of skills and abilities that are now actively finding leaks using an Acoustic Leak Detection (ALD) system.
Continued use of the Department’s Interactive Voice Response (IVR) software for “out bound” calls giving advance notice to customers needing to pay prior to water being turned off.
Received renewal of the City’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit from the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation.
Introduced language for a bill that affords the City of Murfreesboro 100% credit for return flows (i.e., effluent) from our Water Resource Recovery facility into J. Percy Priest reservoir. The bill was passed on April 17th by the 110th Tennessee General Assembly and signed by the Governor on April 28th; taking affect July 1, 2017.
23
Conduct on-going testing and analysis of the biological water quality analyses on the West and East Fork Stones River to prepare the foundation for additional potential discharges into the City of Murfreesboro’s receiving streams; allowing for continued growth.
Replaced three (3) Fournier Biosolids Presses and the associated electronic and networking systems, variable frequency drives, and Penn Valley sludge transfer pumps.
Developed a Biosolids Master Plan (BMP) and conducted a Biosolids pilot project utilizing the Schwing Bioset process to lime pasteurize biosolids into Class “A” quality; effectively taking a waste product and turning into a commodity (e.g., fertilizer).
85% complete in expanding the Sinking Creek Treatment Plant from 16 million gallons per day (MGD) to 24 MGD (Notice to Proceed date April 27, 2015). Beginning year five (5) of MWRD’s Information Technology Master Plan; two (2) years into a new Financial Information Systems (FIS) for general ledger accounting and reporting under the MUNIS software platform and three (3) years into a successful utility billing and customer information systems (CIS) software (CIS.Infinity from Advanced Utility Solutions) along with a Mobility Workforce Management wireless work order system. Customer engagement has grown through the use of on-line payment ability.
FY 2018 DEPARTMENT GOALS
Implement “Help 2 Others” (H2O) program in conjunction with Community Helpers of Rutherford County that provides a venue to allow customers to pay additional monies above their water and sewer bill to provide a need based resource to help and/or supplement low income customers’ ability to pay monthly water and sewer bills.
Complete the improvements associated with the Sinking Creek plant upgrade, including a new ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system that is anticipated to save energy in December 2017.
Complete MWRD’s Water Resource Integration Plan (WRIP); the goals of which are: o Look holistically at the management of water (drinking water, wastewater, repurified
water, and stormwater) within the potential service areas of the Murfreesboro Water & Sewer Department.
o Coordinate efforts with the City’s Comprehensive Plan, so that the overall goal of facilitating the growth of the City of Murfreesboro will be accomplished in an orderly fashion with consideration of affordable and sustainable water management.
24
o Coordinate water management strategies with the Consolidated Utility District to identify challenges and strategies to providing water services within the Urban Growth Boundary.
o Coordinate with other studies currently underway assessing the assimilative capacity of the East and West Fork Stones Rivers.
Seek partnerships with agricultural and industrial operations to increase the disposal rate of effluent and biosolids for land application generated at the Sinking Creek plant.
Complete replacement of DeJarnette Lane Pump Station #13 and bid out for replacement the Ransom Drive pumping station.
Initiate and complete a Waste Load Allocation model to integrate into a site-specific rationale for TDEC review as a prototype for the City’s upcoming 2021 NPDES permit.
Continue to make a presence at public outreach events such as Earth Day, partner with MTSU when the opportunity presents itself, and educate public on water cycle, stormwater best practices and recycling of water for the “right use”.
Continue developing predictive benchmarking and performance measurement criteria that advance MWRD into a performance driven utility. MWRD expects to launch Power BI (Business Intelligence) that will allow for leveraging CIS, utility billing and financial data to be utilized in a “living” dashboard.
Initiate and complete enhancing security in the Customer Service Area through renovation and remodeling efforts.
Continued Partnering with Key Stakeholders, such as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, the Rutherford County Chamber of Commerce, General Mills / Pillsbury, Rutherford County, Middle TN State University, Consolidated Utility District, and the development community.
Develop development “tool kits” such as grease interceptor requirements for food service establishments discharging fats, oils and grease (FOG), and industrial discharge criteria for interested industries looking to Murfreesboro as a potential building site.
Seek to simplify the development process for small business owners and integrate into a “one stop shop” culture.
Continue to reduce unaccounted for water through more accurate meter reading and utilization of Acoustic Leak Detection system.
Begin development of a Meter Change Out Program.

The EUM Keys to Management Success listed below represent the tools by which we plan, address issues, and
track performance
The Utility Self-Assessment The Self-Assessment was conducted by the MWRD Leadership Team (Division Managers) and the Water
Resources Board, separately. Both groups identified Customer Satisfaction, Product Quality and
Financial Viability as our highest priority goals. More importantly, the exercise also produced a priority list
of EUM attributes in need of the most improvement. These included Customer Satisfaction and Employee and
Leadership Development. Since 2013, improvement initiatives have largely focused on the Customer
Satisfaction attribute.
Activities and Process Improvements
2013, Replaced a legacy customer information system, began accepting credit cards, introduced e-
billing
2014, Installed Interactive Voice Response (IVR) giving customers access to account information and
the ability to pay their bill remotely
2014, Began use of Mobile Workforce Management software which issues/tracks electronic service
orders to field technicians
2015-2017, Procured and installed Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) providing more accurate
metering, early leak notification to customers, and online customer access to their own water
consumption data
2001-2016, Instituted stormwater runoff enhancements and WWTP improvements
Measurable Results
Online and IVR transactions have risen to ~5000 per month, serving ~18% of our customers
Apparent water loss reduced by ~ 25%, resulting in ~$1.5M/yr in new recurring consumption revenue
Measured improvements in water quality and biological health of our receiving stream as measured
by the Tennessee Macroinvertebrate Index. Improvements have led to approval of a renewed and

Lessons Learned
1. Prior to EUM, there was no formal strategic plan or continual improvement process.
There was an understanding of priority and funding, but not a cohesive vision/document
that tied all core missions into one place, nor was there a connection between smaller,
less evident ventures or purchases to the grander scheme. Now there is.
2. EUM has helped us to accomplish perhaps our biggest challenge, that being the
mechanism by which we could effectively communicate to our Board and Council the
need for every action and funding request as being part of a bigger picture.

WATER RESOURCES BUDGET SUMMARY
The following is a summary of the budget:
The FY18Budget reflects $51,164,000 in total revenues. The proposed budget is $1,074,500 more than the FY17 budget and $(534,000) less than FY17 projections.
FY18 Operating Revenues total $44,409,00, a decrease of $(34,000) over FY17 projections and $364,500 increase over FY17 budget.
No rate increase is proposed for residential, or 5/8” size meters; however, the minimum monthly allowance for meter sizes one (1) inch and larger is recommended to be reduced by 100% of the monthly minimum volume (cf) allowance. This reduction is year five (5) of a five (5) year plan to eliminate volume allowances under the minimum monthly bill.
The minimum monthly dollar amounts for all meter sizes 1” and larger remain the same.
The water rate is recommended to remain at $2.74 per 100 cubic feet ($3.66 per 1000 gallons). The Sewer Service Fee is recommended at $4.24 per 100 cubic feet ($5.67 per 1000 gallons).

Water and sewer connection fees are set at $1,200 and $2,550, respectively. From February 2011 through February 2012, water and sewer connection fees were reduced to $950 and $1,500, respectively. Effective March 1, 2012 rates returned to their pre-reduction levels. No increase in connection fees are budgeted for FY18.
Customer Service/Collection and Administrative/General expenses increased by $65,392 (3.2%).
Water Treatment Operating and Maintenance Expenses decreased by $(113,279) (-1.7%).
Wastewater Treatment Operating and Maintenance Expense decreased by $(212,365) (-2.7%)
Rate funded capital purchases total $5,928,620, a decrease of $(724,945) (-10.9) from FY17 budget.
Debt Service Expenses total $13,398,513, an increase of $1,239,271 (10.2%) from FY17 budget. This debt has increased based on the payment derived from SRF loan 2016 and the Phase 4D Sinking Creek Plant Expansion.
FY18 transfers to Reserves from connection fees and other sources have been budgeted at $10,405,748, a decrease of ($759,190) from FY17 projections. This includes $1,735,248 in reserve income for sinking funds to pay cash for large upcoming capital expenditures and $335,000 in reserves for future debt.
The Department is funding $65,000 for pension administration by the City.
Department and Stormwater fund $140,000 to the City for legal services.
The Department is funding $15,000 for the City’s Human Resources Department.
There are a total of one hundred sixty-seven (167) full time and four (4) part time positions budgeted. Included in the full time positions are eight (8) positions in the stormwater department. There are four (4) new positions requested and one (1) position recommended for elimination for the FY18 personnel budget:
Administration/Finance – One (1) position is anticipated to be cut from MWRD’s payroll budget. Ms. Peggy Goodwin’s position of Admin Aide II is no longer deemed necessary.
Engineering – Two (2) new Full Time Equivalents are requested for the Engineering Division. One (1) full-time GIS Technician and one of the following options:
o Two (2) part-time Engineering Support Specialists (Cooperative Students), or o One (1) full-time Engineer-in-Training (EIT).
The GIS position is necessary to increase the effectiveness of the GIS Coordinator to allow
elevated duties in conjunction with the new CIS and AMI systems as well as start development of
the new Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS). The part-time Engineering
Support Specialists (Coop Students) or EIT are deemed necessary to aid in the development plans
review process and development of plan of service responses for Planning Commission. The
additional engineering support would be groomed for potential backfill of a hard to fill position.
Operations & Maintenance – O&M is requesting two (2) new internal promotions that will culminate in two (2) new entry level hires as W/WW Laborers. The two (2) new internal promotions are requested as CCTV Technicians. Since the creation of the Department’s off-road sonar/CCTV crew in 2014 (FY15), the CCTV Vans operating in the road right-of-way have been down to one (1) FTE each. Their production has gone down by 50% and safety is a concern with only one (1) employee working in the road right-of-way. This request would bring the CCTV vans back to full operational output and increase safety with two (2) FTE’s in each van. The other internal promotion is the creation of a new W/WW Foreman. This position would be in responsible charge of the New Construction Crew.

REVENUE ITEMIZATION
Projected Department Revenue for FY18 totals $51,164,000, which is $1,074,500 more than the FY17 budget. This is mainly a result of:
1) An adjustment in the rate design as well as an anticipated reduction in sewer commodity revenue due to General Mills / Yoplait land applying approximately 550,000 gallons per day on the Indian Hills Golf Course. The combination of the rate design increasing revenue and the aforementioned revenue decrease results in an estimated net increase of $360,000. Chart 1 identifies those components that make up the increase and shortfall anticipated to yield a net increase of $360,000 in revenue
2) The tap revenue has been increased by $700,000 for FY18 due to anticipated growth and connections made to the Department’s sewer system. Tap revenue is simply being adjusted above what was budgeted for FY17. Tap revenue is a direct corollary to the level of development that occurs within MWRD’s service area. All tap revenue is expensed to the Department’s working capital reserves to fund future capacity projects or major repair and replacement projects.
A five (5) year rate design was initiated in FY14 to eliminate all minimum volume allowances covered by the minimum monthly bill over a five (5) year period. FY18 represents year five (5) of five (5) and as such, it is recommended the minimum monthly allowance for all meter sizes 1 “ and above be reduced by one hundred percent (100%) of their previous allowance. The minimum monthly monetary water charges for all meter sizes remain the same. The minimum monthly water and sewer charge for 5/8” (residential customers) is recommended to stay the same. The water rate is recommended to remain at $2.74 per 100 cubic feet ($3.66 per 1000 gallons). The Sewer Service Fee is recommended to remain at $3.34 per 100 cubic feet and the Sewer Operation and Maintenance Fee is recommended to remain at 90 cents per 100 cubic feet. Since the allowance for all meters will be eliminated in FY18, the O&M fee can be incorporated into the commodity rate; setting the commodity rate for sewer at $4.24 per 100 cubic feet (or $5.67 per 1000 gallons).

REPURIFIED WATER REVENUE
In an effort to reduce effluent discharge from the Sinking Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant, in 2006 MWRD began offering Repurified Water for irrigation purposes to portions of our service area. In addition to reducing necessary effluent discharge, repurified irrigation water also reduces the amount of water that the MWRD Water Treatment Plant must process and distribute. Rates for repurified water were set low (5₵ per hundred cubic feet) to encourage use by consumers. Consumption is budgeted to increase by 20% for FY18; a more accurate projection of FY17 revenue. Revenue from Repurified water sales is small compared to water and sewer sales. A cost of service study was performed on the repurified system for FY15. The study showed that the Department is only currently recovering approximately 4% of its expenses in delivering this commodity. However, this commodity is unique in that it is only used during the summer months and is considered “waste” in the winter months. The Department is seeking solutions regarding recapturing the cost to serve this commodity to its customers. Disposal of repurified water via irrigation or land application does allow more capacity for the discharge of effluent to the West Fork Stones River, so there is a capacity (i.e., sustainability) benefit that is not calculated in the “hard” numbers associated with the FY15 COSS.

WATER TAPS / SEWER TAPS (SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT CHARGES)
FY18 water tap revenue is budgeted to decrease ($300,000) below the FY17 budgeted amount. FY17 water tap fees are expected to be below budget by this same amount. All excess tap fees beyond labor and material costs associated with tap installation are reserved for future capacity enhancement. Sewer tap revenue is projected above the expected amount of activity anticipated in FY17. FY17 sewer tap fees are expected to be above budget by $1,500,000. FY18 budgeted tap fees are $1,000,000 above FY17 budget. All excess tap fees beyond labor and material costs associated with tap installation are reserved for future capacity enhancement.

FY18 PROPOSED RATE SCHEDULE
Since July 2008 a rate strategy has been implemented to reduce the consumption allowance for a minimum bill over a five (5) year period. The consumption allowance was dropped to zero (0) July 1, 2013 (FY14) for 5/8” sized meters. This same year, meters 1” and larger minimum allowances started to be reduced over a five (5) year period. FY18 represents year five (5) of that five (5) year plan. Based on the FY15 Cost of Service Study (COSS) and FY20 Pro Forma developed by Jackson Thornton Financial Consultants, the following chart identifies the revenue deficit projected for the water and sewer enterprise funds as it relates to the over-recovery that was experienced in FY15.
Historical COS Studies and FY20 Pro Forma Revenue Requirements
The table below illustrates where the revenue over the next five (5) years will be based on various factors. Note that this table shows a total of $860,453 of revenue generated from the various sources described, while $3,180,495 is required. I would qualify the revenue generated from new growth and enhanced revenue from the Advanced Meter Infrastructure (AMI) categories as assumptive. Additionally, the sewer commodity lost is estimated from an anticipated irrigation system at Indian Hills Golf Course being fed by General Mills / Pillsbury process water effluent. If General Mills disposes of 550,000 gallons per day on average at Indian Hills, the revenue lost to the Water Resource Department is approximately $1.1M.
51
I believe it prudent to continue with the decrease in the allowance reductions in the meters greater than 5/8” in FY18, estimated to generate a secured $438,379. I believe it is also prudent to leave the minimum bill for residential accounts flat within this same time frame. A new cost of service study will be scheduled for FY17, and the rate design can be reevaluated at that time.
The water commodity rate is recommended to remain at $2.74 per 100 cubic feet. The sewer commodity rate is recommended at $4.24 per 100 cubic feet.

BILL AMOUNT FOR SELECTED RESIDENTIAL MONTHLY CONSUMPTION
Note: The table above is the fee schedule for monthly consumptions associated with 5/8” or 3/4" water meters (tax not included).
RATE AFFORDABILITY
The Department seeks to maintain a target affordability ratio of 2.0% or less for water and 2.0% or less for sewer (combined 4.0%). This is measured by the dividing of the average annual residential bill by the median household income of the City. When setting rates and evaluating rate structures, the impact on low income customers, while assuring that cost of service principals are met, are considered. The Safe Drinking Water Act (S.1547) established special assistance where the average residential water bill exceeds 2 percent of median income.

AWWA Research Foundation report entitled “Water Affordability Programs” suggest that programs should not be based on median income but rates that cause water bills to exceed 2 percent of income for impoverished households. Because of the focus on impoverished households, measure of the 2 percent was selected to determine if water costs were burdensome. The FY18 proposed monthly cost of water, tax, sewer and stormwater is compared to the Threshold Limits for Affordable Housing Assistance Murfreesboro Community Development 2016 below. Based on the average of 2.5 people per household using 5,200 gallons per month of water and 4,800 gallons per month of sewer, the annual cost of water, tax, sewer and stormwater after July 1, 2017 is calculated as $842, or $70.18 per month. This expense is less than 4% of the very low income threshold of $94.92 per month, or $1,139 annually. In comparing one (1) person through a five (5) household, the affordability metric passes.
FY18 RATE DESIGN: AFFORDABILITY FOR RESIDENTIAL 5/8” METERS
RATES, FEES AND CHARGES OBJECTIVES
The Department’s schedule of rates, fees, and charges are reviewed and adjusted, if necessary, on an annual basis to ensure that rate and revenue levels are adequately funding the overall goals and objectives of the Department and are reasonable and affordable. Rates and fees are established with consideration given to the following long-term rate setting objectives. Rate structures should reflect fixed costs that don’t vary with changes in water usage and production. They should also reflect variable costs, which do vary depending on the amount of water used or produced. The following objectives provide a general framework which can be consistently applied to future water and sewer rate reviews. Because some policy objectives may unavoidably conflict with others, they should be

considered in their entirety to strike an appropriate balance among them when reviewing and establishing the Department’s water and sewer rates.
1. Revenue Requirements: Rates shall be sufficient to meet the Department’s revenue requirements, while striving to charge the lowest feasible cost to the customer over the long run.
2. Customer Payment of Cost-of-Service: The Department shall implement a system of rates, fees,
and charges that effectively recovers allocated costs to customers in proportion to their responsibility for the costs incurred by the utility. Adherence to the cost-of-service principle
(benefiting party pays) shall be a guiding philosophy.
3. Equity: Rates should reflect a fair apportionment of the various costs of providing service among
different groups of customers served by the Department based on their differing service requirements.
4. Efficiency: Rates should provide incentives for cost effective use of facilities and conservation of
water and efficient use and reuse of water resources.
5. Rate Stability: Rate levels and structures shall be changed through gradual programmed
implementation of rate adjustments.
6. Financial Stability: Rate levels and structures shall be sufficient in the recovery of costs to operate
the system.
7. The Department will seek to maintain a target affordability ratio of 2 % or less for water and 2% or
less for sewer (combined 4%). This is measured by the dividing of the average annual residential bill by the median household income of the City. When setting rates and evaluating rate structures the impact of on low income customers, while assuring that cost of service principals are met, will be considered.
8. Connection Fees: The Department shall collect connection fees and sanitary sewer district fees from new water and sewer customers. These charges are intended to recover costs associated with facility capacity expansions necessary to meet the new customer’s water and sewer demands. These charges provide a method for dividing the cost burden of existing and planned facilities
between old and new customers.
9. Periodically the Department shall consider using the services of a qualified independent consultant
to conduct a comprehensive cost of service and rate study every two years.

DIVISION NARRATIVES – ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND GOALS
DEPARTMENT SUMMARY
The Murfreesboro Water Resources Department (Department) is an enterprise fund of the City of Murfreesboro. The fund is managed to fully recover the expenses of providing services from users (as opposed to taxes) and to build and preserve a substantial, long lived capital asset base in the treatment facilities, water distribution and storage system, wastewater collection system and repurified water distribution and storage system. Because utilities have many characteristics of a business, business accounting and financial management rules are usually applied to enterprise funds. Because of this, the presentation of the Department differs from that of the City General Fund Budget.
The Department’s aggressive maintenance and replacement programs result in a greater asset value. The Total Asset Value as of June 30, 2016 is $477,043,767, a 6.19% increase from FY15. The Department financial and management model is to improve infrastructure each year, strive to provide excellent customer service, make knowledge-based decisions and stretch the dollar to get the maximum benefit and minimize waste. The employees of the Department are dedicated to providing its customers with a bountiful supply of clean, safe water, sanitary sewer service and repurified (i.e., recycled) water service in the most economical and efficient way possible. Stormwater permit management is also provided. Water service is provided through approximately 26,824 meter connections within the Murfreesboro Water Resources Department water service area (35.54 square miles), and sanitary sewer service is being provided to areas served in the Consolidated Utility District water service area for an estimated additional 18,093 sewer only customers. The City operates a separate fund for Stormwater services and has 34,939 customers. There are 60.46 square miles within the city limits and 179.6 square miles within the Murfreesboro Urban Growth Boundary (UGB). The City also operates the largest reclaimed water system in the State of Tennessee; having 160 customers and delivering between 4 to 8 million gallons per day of high quality repurified water. There are a total of 168 full time and five (5) part-time positions budgeted for fiscal year 2018. There are three (3) licensed professional engineers, one (1) engineer-in-training, one (1) certified public accountant, three (3) professional operators, and fifty-one (51) employees with a Tennessee Certified Operators License for one or more of the following: water treatment, wastewater treatment, water distribution and wastewater collection system; eleven (11) at the Wastewater plant, eighteen (18) at Operations & Maintenance, and twenty-two (22) at the Water plant.
The Murfreesboro Water Resources Board held its first meeting on December 12, 1958. The first members consisted of C. B. Huggins, Herman O. Jones (Councilman), Jennings A. Jones, Sam Lasseter, and Fount Pitts. At that time, the Mayor was A. L. Todd, Jr., City Manager was H. L. McCullough, and Joe W. Lovell was Superintendent of the Water Department. The Director of the Department reports to the City Manager.
A seven member advisory board has the oversight of department policy and financial operations. The Board makes recommendations to the City Council. User charges provide the sole source of revenue for the Water Resources Department. No general tax base revenues are received, yet our rates are well below those of many of our sister utilities.
The Water Resources Board meetings are held on the fourth Tuesday of each month at 3:30 p.m., at 1725 South Church Street, Murfreesboro.

DRINKING WATER TREATMENT PLANT
DIVISION SUMMARY
The Water Treatment Plant is charged with directing and conducting treatment, production and distribution of potable water for consumption; quality control and assurance through laboratory analysis of the potable water; the maintenance all plant facilities, storage tanks and equipment; flushing of distribution mains and dead-end lines; and identifying, detecting and preventing cross-connections to the potable water system. The Stones River Water Treatment Plant is located behind the Alvin York Veteran’s Administration Hospital, at 5528 Sam Jared Road. It has a treatment capacity of 20 million gallons per day. The last expansion in 2010 increased treatment and pumping capacity, added membrane filtration, granular activated carbon contactors, standby power generation and changed the disinfection process from chlorine gas to sodium hypochlorite. The water quality laboratory facilities were remodeled and expanded. The sand filters, replaced by membrane microfiltration, were converted to granular activated carbon beds providing removal of taste and odors; pharmaceuticals and personal care products; and disinfection byproducts. The plant operates continuously producing an average of 12 million gallons per day, with a peak of 17 million gallons per day, of potable water, all of which meets or surpasses all state and federal drinking water regulations. The primary water source is the East Fork of the Stones River with an alternative source at the J. Percy Priest Lake, both of which are classified as surface water supplies. The water system is interconnected with Consolidated Utility District of Rutherford County’s potable water system in case of an emergency. The Department’s water service area encompasses 36 square miles. The water distribution system includes five water storage tanks with a total storage capacity of 12 million gallons. All five storage tanks have standby power generation which allows the water treatment plant to control water in and out of the tank; monitor the telemetry systems; monitor the security system; and keep the wireless network operating in the event of a power outage. Murfreesboro maintains a Class 2, ISO Public Protection Classification for fire protection. The water system accounts for 40% of the score and the remaining 60% the Murfreesboro Fire Department. In the last rating survey the Water Resources Department scored 37.76 points out of a possible 40 for water supply toward the scoring for the classification. In 2010, the Stones River Water Treatment Plant was recognized by the American Council of Engineering Companies of Tennessee with the 2010 Engineering Excellence Grand Award and the Kentucky-Tennessee Section American Water Works Association 2010 Award of Excellence for Plant Operations in the 10 million gallons per day and above category.
In 2014, the Stones River Water Treatment Plant became a member in the Partnership for Safe Water Treatment Plant Optimization Program. The Plant is going into its second year in the program. In 2016, the Murfreesboro Water Resources Department received a 100%, 599 points out of 599, on the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation Water Resources Sanitary Survey.

WATER RESOURCE RECOVERY FACILITY
DIVISION SUMMARY
The Clean Water Act prohibits discharging pollutants into a "water of the United States” without a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has delegated enforcement of this federal law to the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC). In turn, TDEC has issued the City of Murfreesboro an NPDES permit to discharge the Sinking Creek plant’s effluent into the West Fork Stones River. The Sinking Creek Wastewater Treatment plant is the heart of an operation which begins with an expansive
wastewater collection system that is regulated by a Pretreatment program and a Fat, Oils, and Grease (F.O.G.) program. The operation’s process is complete when the high quality effluent is either discharged into West Fork Stones River or put to beneficial reuse. The reuse portion of the operation includes an expanding network of over 26 miles of reuse water lines, public irrigation sites, two Department owned farms totaling over 600 acres, and two storage towers with a combined capacity of two million gallons. The Sinking Creek Plant, located at 2032 Blanton Drive, was constructed in three phases beginning in 1995. The final phase was commissioned in May of 2000. It has a permitted design flow capacity of 16 million gallons per day (MGD). In the autumn of 2017, construction of a 50% plant expansion will be complete and capacity will be expanded to provide for the City’s rapid population growth. Sinking Creek provides primary treatment of the influent flow through the use of fine step screens and a vortex grit removal process. Secondary treatment is a carefully controlled multi-stage biological process that includes various microorganisms metabolizing ammonia ultimately into Nitrogen gas and other microorganisms accumulating Phosphorus. This takes place in anoxic basins for denitrification, oxidation ditches which utilizes an extended aeration process for nitrification, and four two million gallon final clarifiers. The effluent from the biological process is passed through eight deep-bed sand filters for the removal of fine solids and then disinfected with ultraviolet light. Lastly, the effluent is oxygen enriched by submerged aerators. In 2001 the Sinking Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant was recognized by the Greater Nashville Regional Council with the Local Government award for Excellence in Water/Wastewater Facilities and by the American Council of Engineering Companies of Tennessee with the Engineering Excellence Award. In 2011& 2015 the plant received the Tennessee’s Beneficial Reuse of Effluent Award from the Kentucky-Tennessee Water Environment Association. In January of 2015 Sinking Creek received the Outstanding Performance Award (or “Plant of the Year” as it’s known) from The Tennessee Water and
78
Wastewater Association. Sinking Creek will receive the Operational Excellence Award in July 2017 at the Kentucky-Tennessee Water Professionals Conference for the fifth year in a row.

DEBT SERVICE (CAPITAL OUTLAY)
The Debt Service or Capital Outlay budget is based on the Debt Policy approved by the Murfreesboro Water Resources Board in December 2011. Principal and interest on Department debt is funded from revenues received for services provided. It is backed by the full faith, credit and taxing power of the City. Murfreesboro has two outstanding loans issued through the variable rate debt program managed by the Tennessee Municipal Bond Fund (Loan IDs 50279 and 50368). The two remaining variable rate obligations total approximately $33 million and represent 31 percent (31%) of the Department’s current outstanding debt. The Department entered into three Clean Water, State Revolving Fund (SRF) Loan agreements in the fall of 2012 (see table below). Loans 2012-306, 2013-317 and 2012-303 total $37 million in proceeds. Debt forgiveness on the loans totals $2.87 million, resulting in a maximum of $34.13 million in debt. Interest is at 1.01%. Final loan proceeds are expected to be approximately $25.1 million. All three (3) loans are amortized with an annual debt service of $1.87 million over 20 years. On October 9, 2014 the Department was awarded $4,000,000 and $32,500,000 SRF loans for the expansion of the Sinking Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant from 16.0 MGD to 24.0 MGD (see table below). The loans are 20-year term with a fixed interest rate of 1.38%. The $4 million loan has been fully drawn, with annual debt service of $225K over 20 years. The 32.5 million loan should be amortized in early FY18, with an annual debt service of $1.8 million. Final loan draws will determine the final debt service amounts.

Outstanding commitments in work orders approved by the Board and Council to be funded from Restricted Cash amount to obligations of existing Restricted Cash in the amount of approximately $3.86M. The Board adopted a policy to keep an equivalent of one year operating expense as a restricted reserve. For FY18 this minimum balance will be $21,431,119 million. This results in an estimated $26,759,745 in available cash (working capital) for future projects to be funded. The following table shows a pro forma forecast of the available working capital fund through FY21 based on projected tap revenue, sinking fund revenue from rates, enhanced AMI revenue and anticipated projects funded with cash on hand (i.e., working capital reserves).

STORMWATER
DEPARTMENT SUMMARY
The NPDES Stormwater Program refers to aspects of stormwater management required under a Federally-mandated and State-issued National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit for the discharge of stormwater runoff from the municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4). The goal of the program is clean stormwater runoff discharged to local streams. This is accomplished through education of residents and business operators in pollution prevention, through good management of city operations, and through ordinances and requirements designed to prevent or capture pollutants in stormwater runoff both during and after construction in areas of new development and redevelopment.
