SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
Ordinance 337-14 established sewer rates for a period of four years 2015 to 2020 with the last increase effective on January 1, 2020. Ordinance 36-20 established monthly sewer rates for all rate payers. This Ordinance establishes competitive rates for sanitary sewer services for the years 2024 through 2029 that will cover existing and future debt service incurred to fund the cost of sewer infrastructure improvement projects, and provide sufficient funds for the sewer distribution system and for the proper operation and maintenance of the water reclamation plant as approved by the voters.
