Sewer facilities planning discussion - There are 5 loans with the DEQ on the current North West
Sewer Interceptor (NWSI) project. The total of the loans is projected to be $19,802,034.00. Our
projected single family equivalent is currently 5,142. With this information we have calculated
monthly cost to the sewer system users of $16.52 per single family equivalent. We are hoping
there will be some savings on the contracts, our estimate is between $500,000 and $1,000,000.
This would lower the calculated monthly cost to the sewer system users of between $15.70 and
$16.10 per single family equivalent. The City does need to start to collect the fees so that when
the payments come due we have sufficient reserves to meet the debt service.
Water Facilities Planning discussion - the judicial confirmation hearing is set for March 7, 2011
