In order to properly maintain the wastewater collection system and treatment facilities and maintain compliance with State and Federal Environmental requirements the City continues to develop and implement the following projects; Continue implementation of the operation and maintenance program (CMOM) for the sewer system; and Develop a Phase Two long term control plan for abatement of combined sewer overflows. The sewer fund continues to experience a decline in billable water consumption If approved, the increase will generate an additional $236,700 annually. The impact of the rate increase on a minimum user (12 hundred cubic feet) would be $2.40 per quarter or $9.60 per year.
