Commission approves purchase of WaterWorth modules for electric and stormwater access
Summary
The commission approved purchasing the WaterWorth (Waterworks) access for electric and stormwater modules (combined $12,000/year); staff said full water/wastewater access is significantly larger and will be considered separately.
Commissioners voted to purchase the WaterWorth software modules for electric and stormwater after staff described the product and its use for live budget forecasting.
Danny Locke summarized the quote and recommended getting the software set up for utility enterprise funds. Commissioners discussed pricing and terms: the electric module was listed at $9,000 per year and stormwater at $3,000 per year, for a combined $12,000 annual access cost. Staff noted the larger water/wastewater access cost was materially higher (staff referenced roughly $307,500 for water and wastewater access) and that typical vendor pricing includes an annual increase clause (staff noted a 4.9% escalation referenced on the quote). The commission moved and seconded the purchase of the electric and stormwater modules and approved the motion by voice vote.
Staff members said the tool could reduce the frequency of full consultant rate studies if the commission uses the model for ongoing forecasting and that staff will return with further presentations for other funds in time for budgeting.
