Starting in 2017, the City of Missoula was undergoing significant restructuring to its public utilities. It had recently created a stormwater utility with beginning rates that were unable to fund required operations and maintenance activities and identified capital projects. Blue Cypress, as part of a team with FCS GROUP, looked to assist the City of Missoula through a revenue requirement and cost-of-service analysis with important emphasis on policy and rate structure considerations. David Gordon was the technical lead for performing the Stormwater rate update.
