Dunford,Director 234 City Hall,Saint Paul,Minnesota 55102 George Latimer Mayor 612-298-4241 November 29, 1977 Honorable Georga Latimer Mayor of St. Paul Room 347 City Hall � Court liouse BU I LDI N6 Dear Mayor Latimer: The purpose of this letter is to present for your approval , a recommended Sewer Service Fund Budget and a recommended Sewer Service Rate Schedule to cover the anticipated expenditures. Following is the expenditures comparison of the 1977 and 197II Sewer Service Fund Budgets: 1977 197� Metropolitan 4Jaste Control Commission Charge $6,887,032•95 $7,660,770.6$ Debt Payment Credit $ 92,924.00 $ 101 ,041 .00 Sewer Administrative and $1 ,3f35,400.00 $1 ,553,395•00 Maintenance Budget Collection Costs $ 170,000.00 $ 180,000.00 58,535,35b•95 59,495,207.00 it will be necessary to increase the Sewer Service Charges for 1978 an average of 26� over the 1977 Sewer Service Charges. There are two main reasons for this increase: decreased metered water consumption and a substantial increase in wastewater treatment charges by the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission. ��"`J - -2- , To: Mayor Latimer Date: P�ovember 29, 1977 In 1977, the City-metered and weil water consumption, the basis of our charges for sewer service, decreased approximately 8 percent. The rapidly rising costs for treatment of wastewater has resulted in water conservation by in- dustrial and cormnercial properties. This decrease in consumption resulted in an unexpected $640,000 loss in sewer service revenue in 1977. Since 1971 , the Metropolitan 4laste Control Commission's Annual Budget increases have averaged about 10.5 percent. The Cort�nission's 1978 Budget increase is 17.3 percent. In 1g71 , the cost for the collection and treatment of wastewater by the Commission was $192.72 per million gallons, in 1978 the cost will be $427.05 per million gallons. The substantial rise in costs brings another subject of concern to the City and its residents; the large amount of stormwater entering the City's Combined Sewer Sys tem. It has been estimated that in an average year, about 5.9 billion gallons of stormwater enters our system. At the 1978 cost of $427.05 per million gailons, the cost of treating this stormwater next year will be $2,519,600 or 27 percent of the totai collection and treat�nt costs assessed to the City by the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission. Hopefully, your appointment of a special Task Force consisting of inembers from the Department of Public Works, business and private sectors to investigate this matter will result in reducing this problem. Since establishing a Sewer Service Charge based on volume in 1971 , the City has consistentiy maintained a step rate. Consistent with this policy, the folla,ving is my recorrxriendatton for 1978 rates. I have included a comparison of the 1977 rate and the proposed 1978 rate. 1977 197$ Increase First 1A0,000 Cubic Feet $0.455* $�.555* 22$ Next 200,000 Cubic Feet $0.43 $0.53 23� Next 200,000 Cubic Feet $0.40 $0.50 25q Next 500,000 Cubic Feet $0.365 $0.465 27� All Over 1 ,000,000 Cubic Feet $0.335 $0.435 30� The increase for a home owner with average water use will be $2.50 per quarter (billing period) . . -3- To: Mayor Latimer Date: November 29, 1977 It is my opinion that this proposed �ate structure will conform to the rules and regulations of the Environr�ntai Protection Agency (EPA) and the Metropolitan Waste Controt Corr�nission policies regarding Sewer Service Rate Structures.
