RESOLUTIONS
September 27, 1993
Resolution R93-33: Resolution adopting sewer rate schedule.
In accordance with your budget directives, staff has prepared a
revised schedule for increasing sewer rates. The current rates
were adopted in 1987 by Resolution R87-17, so we prepared the
proposed sewer rate schedule for you in the same manner. (We do
have some inconsistency in the method of adopting rates--boCh by
resolution or ordinance. We are attempting to make everything
consistent, and hope to do that when the updated Code of
Ordinances is adopted 1aCer this year) .
The rates are reflective of those presented by Councilmember
Stuart, and generally agreed upon by the balance of the Council
as the budget was discussed. The minimum has been raised $.50
per month and the conswnption has been raised $.10/1,000 gallons,
for an anticipated increase in income of $89,000.
We have included a copy of the current rate schedule (Resolution
No. 87-17) , and you will notice on close review the charge of
$1.00/1,000 gallons of water usage has not technically changed.
What has changed, however, is that the current schedule calls for
the sewer charge to be based on the four winter months of
November-February times a factor of 90 percent. We can find no
real documentation on how the 90 percent factor came into being,
and can only speculate it was a compromise of some sort in 1987.
By removing the 90 percent factor, we arrive at an increase of
$.lOJ1,000 gallons, as suggested, and at the same time streamline
the calculation of the sewer bill for a customer. We recommend
this approach.
You may be wondering why we use water consumption as the basis
for the sewer rates. As you know, most of the water used,
especially in the winter months, goes into the sanitary sewer
system for treatment. EPA mandated several years ago, that
wastewater collection and treatment charges must reflect the
costs and be based on water consumption. (Many years ago, most
sewer charges were based on the number of fixtures in the home or
business) . Since our costs are more than our revenue, we should
have begun these rate increases earlier, to maineain compliance
with EPA.
