7anuary 1, 2006. The new basic MCES SAC rate will be $1,550 for all Local
Govemments. The MCES SAC rate to be paid by your Local Government to MCES is
the rate in effect at the time of payment on the building or sewer connection permit
regardless of when the permitting process began.
The monthly SAC report and payment are due within 30 days of the end of the month.
The Local Govemment's retainage of 1% ofMCES SAC collections will only be allowed
as a discount for prompt payment. Late reports will forfeit this discount.
Your comnnunity collects a local (or retail) SAC as users connect to the metropolitan
wastewater system for the first rime or as a user's potential or peak sewage increases.
The MCES (or wholesale) SAC is paid to the Council on the same basis. The SAC funds
we collect pay for the reserve capacity (unused) portion of the capital costs of the
metropolitan wastewater system as specified in Minnesota Statutes section 473.517 (3).
If you have any financial questions, please feel free to contact me at (651) 602-1196. For
SAC procedural questions, please contact Sandra Selby at (651) 602-1118 or read the
SAC procedure manual on our web site at:
www.met�ncouncil.orelenvironmentlRatesBilline/2006-SAC-orocedures-manual ndf.
Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
