Item No. 17-211
Date: June 12, 2017
Item/Subject: ORDER, Establishing Sewer Rates to go into Effect for Accounts Billed Starting
July 1, 2017
Responsible Department: Wastewater Treatment Plant
Commentary: This order will increase sewer rates by 5% beginning July 1, 2017. The
proposed increase is necessary to properly maintain the wastewater collection system and
treatment facilities and maintain compliance with State and Federal Environmental requirements.
Failure to implement these programs could result in regulatory actions being taken against the
City such as fines and increased scrutiny over development. Additionally, the Sewer Fund
continues to experience a decrease in billable water consumption.
If approved, the increase will generate an additional $247,300 annually. The impact of the rate
increase on a minimum user (12 hundred cubic feet) would be $3.60 per quarter or $14.40 per
year. The need for the increase was reviewed at a budget workshop.
