MOTION BY: Mason SECONDED BY: Engel
A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING MUNICIPAL SEWER AND WATER RATES
WHEREAS, this municipality maintains a public sanitary sewer system and public water
system; and
WHEREAS, Chanhassen City Code Chapter 19 provides that the City Council may from time
to time establish revised rate schedules for usage of the public sanitary sewer system and the public
water system.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Chanhassen City Council:
1. The following water use rates are hereby established:
A. Connected Structures
The following charges are imposed on each structure connected to the
municipal water system:
(1)
A minimum charge of $6.35 per dwelling unit or per billing statement
generated for quarterly water usage not exceeding 5,000 gallons.
(2)
A charge of $1.30 per 1,000 gallons, or fraction thereof, for all
quarterly water usage up to 25,000 gallons; and
(3)
A charge of $1.50 per 1,000 gallons, or fraction thereof, for all
quarterly water usage in excess of 25,000 gallons.
(4)
A charge of $8.00 per year for each connection to the municipal water
system to support mandated water quality testing services.
B. Unconnected Structures
A quarterly charge of $10.00 is hereby imposed on each single family attached
dwelling, each single family detached dwelling, each commercial structure and
each industrial structure which is not connected to the municipal water system
when municipal water service is available.
The following sewer usage rates are hereby established:
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 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 separate billing statement shall be generated for each water meter,
and
(2)
A charge of $2.60 per 1,000 gallons or fraction thereof for all quarterly
water usage provided however, that the minimum quarterly charge
shall be $13.00.
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 quarterly sewer charge shall be based upon water
consumption 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:
$52.00 per dwelling unit.
(a)
Senior Citizen Discount. Provided, however, that the quarterly
charge shall be $26.00 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, ifa 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 commercial
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 approximating as closely as possible actual
sewer usage of similar land used actually connected to the
municipal sewer and water systems.
C. Structures Not Connected to Sewer
(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 municipal sewer system though
connection is required by City ordinance as follows:
$104.00 per dwelling unit, provided, however, that the
quarterly charge shall be $52.00 per dwelling unit if
said dwelling unit is occupied by no more than two
persons, at least one of whom is at least 65 years of
age, and at least one of whom is the owner of said
dwelling unit.
(2)
A quarterly charge is hereby imposed on each commercial
structure and each industrial structure, which is not connected
to the municipal sewer system though connection is required by
City ordinances, at the rates set forth in Section A, above, on
the basis of deemed sewer usage as estimated by the City
Engineer on a case-by-case basis approximating as closely as
possible two times actual sewer usage of similar land uses
actually connected to the municipal sewer and water systems.
D. Effective Date
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that these rates shall be effective in
entirety commencing with billings after January 1, 1997.
Passed and adopted by the Chanhassen City Council this 27th day of January, 1997.
