Principals of Ranson Financial Consultants, L.L.C. have developed a unique methodology of evaluating the effectiveness of the Water and Sewer Utility Systems’ rate structures for a number of the cities and rural water districts in Kansas. The rate reviews are prepared utilizing customized spreadsheet modeling and are instrumental in determining if the Utility System’s rates are effective in covering the System’s expenditures in a sufficient manner. In addition to evaluating the System’s existing rate structure, the rate reviews also provide the suggestions for the optimal rate structure and the proposed impact of the rate increase on the financial situation of the System.
