Mr. Michael R Couzzo
Village Manager

345 Tequesta Drive
Tequesta, FL 33469-0273
Subject: Water System Financial Forecast and Revenue Sufficiency Analysis
Dear Mr. Couzzo:
Public Resources Management Group, Inc. (PRMG) has completed our review of the sufficiency
of the water monthly user rates for the Village of Tequesta, Florida (the "Village"), and has
attached the proposed rate resolution reflecting the proposed water rates recommended to be
adopted by the Village Council for the next three Fiscal Years (Fiscal Years 2016 through 2018).
Based on the results of our analysis, the proposed rates reflected in the attached rate resolution
reflect three consecutive eight (8) percent annual rate increases to the monthly water user rates
for Fiscal Years 2016 through 2018. The proposed 8% rate increases have been applied to all
monthly user rates across the board and there have been no changes proposed to the Village's
existing quantity step rate block structure.
We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to the Village and would like to thank the
Village's staff for their assistance and cooperation during the course of this study.
Respectfully submitted,
Public Resources Management Group, Inc.
