Mr. Carl Shimek and Ross Jacobs made a study oiour sewer rates in order to
devise a rate structure which will comply with federal regulations, in
a manner that will allow the city to meet its financial obligations. They
reported that their study showed that based on the recent growth trends and
an estimated average of 1623 connections for 1977-7A, and the total income
reauired, an average of $8,88 ner connection is required. However, since
federal regulations require the sever charge be constructed so that it
relates to the customers use, and since the sewers are not metered at a
residence, the average water metered�meboaW may be taken. From these
figures, Mr. Shimek recommended a minimum charge of $7.10 plus 352 ner
thousand gallons per month, not exceeding 10,000 gallons, to produce the
required revenue. The general feeling was that we must conform with the
FPA regulations and an ordinance is to be drawn un.
