Stephens City objectsto proposed Sanitation Authority rate increase, sets $9.25 extraction rate
Summary
The council approved a recommendation to notify the Sanitation Authority that Stephens City protests the Authority’s proposed 2019 rates and set a water-extraction rate of $9.25 per 1,000 gallons effective June 1, 2018, citing insufficient justification for the increase.
During committee reports, Water/Sewer Committee Chair Jason Nauman told the council the committee recommends the town notify the Sanitation Authority that it protests the Authority’s proposed 2019 rate increases because the committee found a lack of supporting justification.
The committee additionally recommended that the council set the rate charged for water extracted by the Sanitation Authority at $9.25 per 1,000 gallons, with the increase to take effect June 1, 2018. Council recorded the motion as carried with unanimous Aye votes.
The minutes attribute the recommendation and the protest to the Water/Sewer Committee and do not include the Authority’s proposed rate figures or the technical justification the Authority provided. The minutes do not record a response from the Sanitation Authority; next steps indicated in the minutes are to notify the Authority of the town’s protest.
