Dear City Official, � �/� $
� 1 �✓
To help keep pace with increasing demand on the Metropolitan Q �4�
Disposal System, the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission '(,�
has approved an increase in its charge for connecting new ,
homes to our collection system.
Service Availability Charges (SAC) are based on the
Commission' s debt service requirements, projected area growth
rates, wastewater flows and reserve capacity.
As of January 1, 1991, our Service Availability Charge will
increase froRn $600 to $650 per residence. The increase
follows the recommendations of a SAC rat� plan approved by
the Commission in 1988.
That plan was based on a comprehensive stud�. In order to
prevent financial surprises down the road, the 1988 study
recommended "an orderly increase" in SAC fees through the
year 2000 . The increases are necessary due to steadily
increasing operating costs, less connection demand and,
perhaps most importantly, the end of federal financial
support for capital improvements this year.
SAC fees represent only about 10 percent of our total
operating budget, but they do help keep our monthly service
rates as competitive as possible -- 20-percent less than the
rates in similar-sized cities nationwide.
MWCC' s SAC charge also compares favora�i�.y witr. �ther
similiar-sized cities nationwide, some of which charge up to .
$1, 100 for the same one-time connection.
An update to the 1988 SAC study is currently underway and
will be comgleted later this year. The updated study will
serve as ail basis for recommendations to the Board of
Commissio�ners regarding future SAC charges . You can be sure
we will k�eep you informed.

Sincerelyl, ��
