Councilman Sovern stated that the public hearing was to
revise rates and charges on sewer disposal in order to come in
compliance with the Environmental Protection Agency regulations.
Director of Utilities Carroll stated that the rate
increases consisted of three types of charges. The first is a
user charge which pays for the normal operating and maintenance
expenses of the system. The second was a service charge for extra
strength sewage which some industrial users were putting forth into
the system. The last is an industrial cost recovery which would go
into effect one year after the plant was operative to pay for extra
capital improvements which were necessary as a result of industrial
customers. The Environmental Protection Agency requires that
industrial class pay for its fair share per gallon and per strength
of sewage. The rates were computed in the future on winter water
usage and on a flat basis only when no metered water usage was
available. The metered will pay a minimum rate of $15 and 15 cents
per 1,000 gallons over the 79,000 gallons minimum. Outside the
City residential and business will also pay 10% additional for
infiltration into the system during the flow from the source. The
industrial strength will be measured by a sampling process.
