("Fort Wayne"), by counsel, respectfully petitions the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission

between property within and property outside the corporate boundaries of the City of Fort
Wayne, Indiana. In support of its Petition, Petitioner states:
1. The ordinances setting rates and charges for property within and property outside
the municipality's corporate boundaries (the "Ordinances") were adopted on May 26, 2009,
November 22, 2005, and February 21,2012.
2. Attached as Exhibit A is a copy of the City's existing sewer rate ordinance.
3. Attached as Exhibit B is the City's water rate ordinance currently in effect, and
the attached Exhibit C is the water rate ordinance adopted by Fort Wayne's City Council on
February 21,2012. Both water ordinances contain the same rate differential between properties
within and properties outside Fort Wayne's municipal boundaries.
4. The works that is the subject of the Ordinances is a:
a. Water utility works
b. Wastewater utility works
c. Both water and wastewater utility works x
5. The percentage difference between the rates and charges imposed on users of the
works for service to property located outside the corporate boundaries of the municipality and to

25% for water service.
6. Fort Wayne's sewer ordinance (i.e. Exhibit A) contains certain capital surcharges
that are imposed on users of the works both inside and outside the municipal boundaries. Such
surcharges are specifically to pay for the costs associated with main extensions to the respective
users of the works and are therefore not to be considered by the Commission (See, e.g., Ind.
Code § 8-1.5-3-8.3(h)(2).
7. A chart illustrating the various consumption levels in 1,000 gallon increments
with the corresponding percent surcharge in water rates is attached as Exhibit D.

kind to be served upon Fort Wayne in this Cause should be served on Fort Wayne's counsel of
record as here noted:

(A) Each user discharging wastes into the collection system shall be subject to

by this chapter, based on the following minimum strength characteristics to the extent
that such wastes are in concentrations greater than:
(1 )
(2)
(3)
(4)
Biochemical oxygen demand of 300 milligrams per liter.
Chemical oxygen demand of 600 milligrams per liter.
Suspended solids content of 300 milligrams per liter.
Phosphorus content of 10 milligrams per liter.
(5) Ammonia content of 25 milligrams per liter~
(B) The surcharge shall be determined as follows: The excess pounds of BOD or
COD (whichever results in the higher charge) suspended solids, phosphorus and
ammonia will each be computed by first multiplying the user's billing sewage volume
measured in units of 100 cubic feet for the current billing period by the factor 0.0062321
and then multiplying this product by the difference between, (a) the concentrations
measured in milligrams per liter, of the BOD (or COD), suspended solids, phosphorus
and ammonia respectively in the user's sewage, and (b) the allowed concentrations set
out in 51.076. The surcharge for each constituent will then be determined by multiplying
the excess pounds of each constituent by the appropriate rate of surcharge. In the event

Prior to May 1 of each year, the Chief Financial Officer of the city utilities and

Plant influent during the previous year with unit charges currently in effect, from which
the Board shall determine whether the current service charges and surcharges are
adequate or should be changed, and to request legislative enactment of said changes
by the Common Council. The methodology used in developing this cost comparison
'shall include:
(A) A system including the distribution of the cost of operation and
maintenance ofthe treatment works of the WPC utility to each user class in proportion
to such user's contribution to the total waste loading of the treatment works. Factors

peration and maintenance and replacement costs to each user class.
(B) Total annual service charges and surcharges collected from each individual
ser class shall be deemed sufficient if said charges have generated during the prior
perating period sufficient revenue to offset the cost of all treatment works operation
