    Appendix G Seattle Public Utilities Customer Review Panel c/o [email protected] P.O. Box 34018, Seattle WA 98124-4018 January 20, 2021 Mayor Jenny A. Durkan The City of Seattle 600 Fourth Avenue P.O. Box 94749 Seattle, WA 98124-4749 RE: Seattle Public Utilities Customer Review Panel Comments on the Proposed SPU Strategic Business Plan for 2021-2026 Dear Mayor Durkan: This letter presents our comments on the Proposed Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) Strategic Business Plan for 2021-2026 (Plan) in fulfillment of our duties as members of the Seattle Public Utilities Customer Review Panel (Panel) set forth in Resolution 31800. We endorse the Plan and support its adoption as presented. This letter includes a number of detailed comments regarding the Plan. Our primary messages regarding the Plan are as follows: Rates: We are pleased that the projected 6-year rate path is lower than that in the previous strategic plan: the 6-year weighted average annual rate increase across all SPU’s lines of business in the 2021-2026 period is projected to be 4.2%, down from 5.2% in the 2018-2023 SPU Strategic Business Plan. SPU’s commitment to drive rates down is admirable and should continue to be a priority. SPU provides essential basic services – water, sewer, drainage, solid waste collection and disposal. Ensuring the affordability of these services, particularly for lower income customers and smaller businesses, is a priority for the Panel. That said, the reduction in rates compared to the last plan has largely been accomplished by spending of cash reserves built up over the last three years because SPU’s capital project accomplishment rate was far less than anticipated.

  • 2019 SPU's Risk and Resiliency Assessment and Framework
    SPU’s RISK AND RESILIENCY ASSESSMENT AND FRAMEWORK 2019 Final Report Seattle Public 2019 SPU RISK AND RESILIENCY ASSESSMENT AND FRAMEWORK - 1 Utilities Table of Contents Page Section 3 Section 1: Introduction 7 Section 2: Climate Change 12 Section 3: Disasters 17 Section 4: Investment Priorities 21 Section 5: Economy 24 Section 6: Market Forces 26 Section 7: Technology 28 Section 8: Workforce 31 Section 9: Next Steps 32 Appendix A: Impact-Likelihood Matrix 2019 SPU RISK AND RESILIENCY ASSESSMENT AND FRAMEWORK - 2 Section 1: Introduction Organizations today are faced with multiple risks and uncertainties as they work to fulfill their missions. Being resilient offers a powerful way of addressing risks comprehensively, managing uncertainty, and taking advantage of new opportunities. For Seattle Public Utilities (SPU), resiliency is the capacity to recover in the face of sudden or gradual stressors that impact utility services and the community. SPU delivers essential water, drainage and wastewater, and solid waste services – all fundamental for public and environmental health. Seattle has been a leader in making utility investments that have multiple, long-term community benefits. After the Great Seattle Fire of 1889, the citizens of Seattle voted to create a public water system and develop the Cedar River water supply system. Seattle’s water, drainage, wastewater, and solid waste utilities have faced many challenges over the years and have evolved to improve services and reduce pollution impacts. As a community-centered utility, SPU seeks to proactively address community needs and risks to improve resiliency. In 2017, Seattle City Council requested that SPU “prepare a risk and resiliency management assessment.” SPU delivered the status report to Council on August 1, 2018.

  • Seattle Public Utilities
    Seattle Public Utilities Ray Hoffman, Director (206) 684-3000 http://www.seattle.gov/util/ Department Overview Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) provides reliable, efficient and environmentally conscious utility services to enhance the quality of life and livability in all communities SPU serves. SPU operates three distinct utilities: Drainage and Wastewater, Solid Waste and Water. The three utilities each have unique revenue sources and capital improvement projects, but share many operations and administration activities within SPU and the City. Drainage and Wastewater: The Drainage and Wastewater Utility collects and disposes or discharges storm runoff and wastewater from residences, businesses, institutions and public properties within the City. In addition to handling sewage and storm water runoff, Drainage and Wastewater works with other government agencies and private parties to address Federal EPA-mandated sediment cleanup projects where contamination is linked to storm water or sewage, such as Gas Works Park and the Lower Duwamish Waterway. The drainage and wastewater system includes approximately 448 miles of sanitary sewers, 968 miles of combined sewers, 477 miles of storm drains, 68 pump stations, 90 permitted combined sewer overflow outfalls, 295 storm drain outfalls, 189 stormwater quality treatment facilities, 145 flow control facilities, and 38 combined sewer overflow control detention tanks and pipes. Solid Waste: The Solid Waste Utility collects and processes recycling, compostables, and residential and commercial garbage to promote quality of life, environmental stewardship, public health and safety. The City owns and operates two transfer stations, two household hazardous waste facilities, a fleet of trucks and heavy equipment and two closed landfills. The Solid Waste Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) supports the transfer stations, heavy equipment and post-closure projects on two landfills previously used by the City.

  • November 28, 2017 – November 28, 2020 Mayor Jenny A. Durkan a Year of Unprecedented and Historic Challenges for the City of Seattle
    Three Years of Action November 28, 2017 – November 28, 2020 Mayor Jenny A. Durkan A Year of Unprecedented and Historic Challenges for the City of Seattle This time last year, our city was booming, vibrant, and focused on the future. Everything seemed possible. But 2020 had other plans. This has been a brutal year for everyone in Seattle. A pandemic with no federal leadership is having devastating im- pacts on the lives and health of our communities and families. It also led to skyrocketing unemployment and closure of so many of Seattle’s small businesses. The City has also seen unforeseen challenges like the accelerated cracking of the West Seattle Bridge, the collapse of a pier and days of wildfire smoke at dangerous levels. We also are in the midst of a civil rights and racial reckoning, which requires each one of us to commit to dismantling the systems of inequity that have had generational negative impacts on Black communities. In the midst of one of the most challenging moments in our city’s history, our 12,000 City of Seattle employees have focused on delivering essential services amidst a pandemic, and advanced our shared priorities to: • Help our residents, workers, and small businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic • Make the City’s largest-ever investment in racial equity and advancing opportunity • Address our homelessness and housing crisis • Build true community safety while also re-imagining policing Working together, we will get through this unimaginably challenging time for our city. There is hope on the horizon in 2021 with an administration that will help cities, improved treatment for COVID-19 and the development of promising new vaccines.

  • After the Fire
    After the Fire Information and Resources for Recovering from a Fire Important Information Date of Fire: ________________________________________________ Time of Fire: _______________________________________________ Location of Fire: ___________________________________________ Fire Incident Report Number: __________________________ Fire Marshal or Investigator: ___________________________ Page 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction 3-4 Protect Yourself 5 Re-Entering Your Home 6 Protect our Property 7 Important Documents 8 Documents and Tax Tips 9 Reclaiming Paper Money, Coin, Savings Bonds 10 Books 11 Medicine, Cosmetics and Food 12 Cleaning Tips 13-16 Contacts and Resources 17-18 Page 2 Introduction Why are there holes in my roof? Why are the windows and doors broken? Fire produces temperatures of over 1,200 degrees, along with smoke and hot toxic gases. At times, it is necessary to reduce the heat, smoke and hot gases before firefighters can enter a building to put out a fire and rescue any occupants. Venting the smoke and gases must be done quickly to speed the rescue effort, as well as to prevent the fire from spreading. Cutting holes in the roof or breaking windows helps with this task. Often, walls must be forcibly opened to find “hidden” fires. The fire is not out until every “hot spot” is found. After the fire is out, damage from fighting the fire may appear unnecessary, however, without the use of these firefighting and rescue techniques, lives could be lost and the building could suffer total destruction by fire. Page 3 Introduction Can I re-enter my home? What if my house is uninhabitable? Use caution in re-occupying your home.
