The Metropolitan Council fias adopted a$100 increase in tue MCES SAC xate effecave January 1, 2ik15.
The new basic MCES SAC rate will be$1,450 for all Local Govemments. The MCES SAC rate to be paid
by yow Local Govemment m MCES is the rate in effed at the rime of payment on the building or sewer
cannection permit regazdless of when the permitting process began,
The monthly 5AC report and payment aze due wit}un 30 days of the end of the month. Beginning in
2005, the Local GovernmenYs retainage of 1% of MCES SAC collecrions will only be allowed as a
discount for prompt payment. I.ate zeports will forfeit this discount.
SAC rate discounts aze a�ailable, with prior MCES approval, when multi-family developments include
water consexvation feariues such as a central laundry, or if they are publicly subsidized low income units
with no dishwashers or gazbage disposals.
Yow community collects a local (or retail) SAC as users connect to the metropolitan wastewater system for
the first time or as a user's potential or peak sewage increases. The MCES (ot wholesale) SAC is paid to
the Council on the same basis. The SAC fuads we collect pay for the resenre capacity (unused) portion of
the capital costs of the metropolitan was[ewater system as sp�ed in M�nn, Statutes section 473.517 (3).
