The Cost of Service Analysis is provided when rates are to be determined for different classes of customers such as residential, commercial and industrial.  The cost of services analysis insures that each customer class pays its way or its share of each service provided.  Cost is allocated to the services as defined by the City, and then the cost for each service is distributed to each class of customer.  Other cost items such as debt and depreciation are also distributed to each customer class.  The result is an analysis showing each customer class paying its share of the services provided and its share of the debt and depreciation.
