A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING MUNICIPAL SEWER AND WATER RATES
WHEREAS, this municipali ty maintains a public sewer and
water system; and
WHEREAS, Chanhassen Ordinances 5, 5-A, and 6 provide that
the City Council may from time to time establi sh revised rate
schedules for usage of the public sewer system and the public
water system.
I. Water Rates:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the following water
user rates are hereby established for the municipal water system:
A.
Connected Structures
A quarterly charge is hereby imposed on each single
family attached dwelling, each single family
detached dwelling, each commercial structure, and
each industrial structure which is connected to the
municipal water system as follows:
1. A minimum charge of $8.00 per dwelling unit or
per billing statement generated for quarterly
water usage not exceeding 10,000 gallons;
2. A separate billing statement shall be generated
for each water meter; and
3. A charge of $0.85 per 1,000 gallons, or fraction
thereof, of all quarterly water usage in excess

A.
structures Connected to Both Sewer and Water:
A quarterly charge, based on winter quarter municipal
water usage, is hereby imposed on each single family
attached dwelling, each single family detached dwelling,
each commercial structure and each industrial structure,
which is connected to both the municipal water system and
the municipal sewer system as follows:
1. A minimum charge of $9.50 per dwelling unit, per com-
mercial structure, per industrial structure and per
billing statement generated, for all quarterly water
usage not exceeding 5,000 gallons,
2. A separate billing statement shall be generated for
each water meter, and
3. A charge of $2.15 per 1,000 gallons or fraction
thereof for all quarterly water usage in excess of
5,000 gallons.
Alternate System of Billing Computation
If water consumption during the winter billing
quarter does not accurately approximate actual sewer
usage throughout the entire billing year, the quar-
terly sewer charge shall be based upon water consump-
tion during such other billing quarter as most
accurately reflects actual sewer usage during the
entire billing year. If water consumption during any
particular billing quarter does not accurately
approximate actual sewer usage, the quarterly sewer
charge shall be based upon average quarterly water
consumption during the entire billing year, or such
other method as in the opinion of the City Engineer
which most closely approximates actual sewer usage.
B.
Structures Connected to Sewer but Not to Water
1. Regular Residential Rate.
A quarterly charge is hereby imposed on each single
family attached dwelling and each single family
detached dwelling which is connected to the municipal
sewer system but not to the municipal water system as
follows: $41.75 per dwelling unit.
a. Senior citizen Discount. Provided, however,
that the quarterly charge shall be $20.85 per
quarter if said dwelling unit is occupied by
no more than two persons:
i. at least one of whom is at least 65 years
of age, and
ii. at least one of whom is the owner of
said dwelling unit.

b. Alternate System of Billing Computation. The
quarterly sewer charge shall be based upon
actual private source water consumption and
upon the rates set forth in Section A,
above, if a water metering system acceptable
to the City has been installed, through which
accurate water consumption records can be
established.
2. Non-Residential Rates.
A quarterly charge is hereby imposed on each com-
mercial structure and each industrial structure,
which is connected to the municipal sewer system
but not to the municipal water system, at rates
set forth in Section A, above, and on the
basis of deemed sewer usage as estimated by the
City Engineer on a case-by-case basis approxi-
mating as closely as possible actual sewer usage
of similar land uses actually connected to the
municipal sewer and water systems.
C. Structure Not Connected To Sewer
e
1. A quarterly charge is hereby imposed on each single
family attached dwelling and each single family
detached dwelling, which is not connected to the

the quarterly charge shall be $18.35 per dwelling
unit if said dwelling illlit is occupied by no more
than two persons, at least one of whom is at
