The connection charges will be effective i�iediately while tha sureharge will becc�me effective July l, i989. Attached to this memo is a copy of the raso].ution with the proposed revisions. The water, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer conneetion charges are being incxeased . bY 2%• This is in. accordance with the resalution that ties annual increases to th.e Engineering News Record Index, which zncreased 2� since last year. The addition of the water surcharge is to provide revenue for repaying bonds w� will need to sell for the construction of Lhe new well and tower. Actual.ly, the payments of these bonds along with projected expenses �nd xevenues wiil cover installation of three additional wells and additianal personnel necessary,to maintain our system. We will be bringing the bond issue back to Councils attention at the Februsry 21, 1989 meeting. i should like to point out that the reinstated surcharge necessary to pravide funding £or a we1l and tower is 1/2 of the surcharge that was instituted for Well l�7 and aur first tower several years ago. Recommended action for Couneil to consider is to nciopt the nttnCl�ed resol.utican establishing water and sewer rates, charges & deposits. � r • • _ CITY OF ROSEMOUNT � RESULUTION 1989 - 1.._...
