Anatomy of
a rate hearing.

Trust isn't won in a brochure. It's won in one room — the council chamber on the night of the vote. Three moments decide whether it holds.

A municipal council chamber during an evening rate hearing — five council members at a wooden dais, one standing at a microphone, a projector screen behind them, and citizens in the gallery.

Leon Valley, Texas·Customer since 2018·pop. 11,485

Showing the “why” behind utility rate increases.

I.What was broken
  • Insufficient rates not covering operating expenses or capital renewal.
  • Playing catch-up from years of underfunding.
  • Lack of clarity of the enterprise fund’s financial forecast for elected officials.
  • Public resistance to raising rates.
  • A time-consuming, expensive process of hiring consultants.
II.What changed
  • Easy-to-understand visual representation of rates and their impact.
  • Smaller, more regular rate increases.
  • Full cost recovery of operating expenses.
  • Confidence in the ability to fund future capital renewal.
  • Better conversations with elected officials and increased public understanding.
III.On the record
“The Waterworth system is great, you hold it all in your hands. We’re in charge of our water system with an accurate picture daily.”
Yvonne Acuña · Assistant Finance Director

Moline, Illinois·Customer since 2018·pop. 45,000

Forecasting a lead & copper-free future.

I.What was broken
  • Infrastructure capacity in excess of the city’s needs.
  • Hesitancy from council.
  • Additional costs to meet Illinois’ Lead and Copper ruling.
  • Creation of new plans to meet EPA regulation criteria.
II.What changed
  • Regionalization to capitalize on excess infrastructure.
  • An in-house tool that gave city council confidence in utility staff.
  • Financial forecasting that helped secure State Revolving Funding.
III.On the record
“We used Waterworth to help us model a concept for regionalism. We’re looking at the possibility of delaying rate increases on our existing customer base based on the ability to sell water on a wholesale basis to these other customers.”
Tony Loete · Utilities Director

Virgin Valley Water District, Nevada·Customer since 2016·pop. 22,000
