Agenda Title:

 

Second Reading of Ordinance No. 5939 An Ordinance to Change the Calculation of the Base Sewer Rate for Residential Users by Amending Subsection 13.16.360C. of the Rapid City Municipal Code.

 

Summary:

 

This ordinance changes how the amount of wastewater flow is calculated for residential users of the City’s sewer system.  It sets a default usage of 500 cubic feet per dwelling unit, which is based on the average residential water use within the City. It also provides a process for intermittent users (such as “snow birds”) to petition the Public Works Dept for a change in the averaging period. This would allow averaging of actual usage instead of assigning the default usage where no usage exists.

 

 

The revised version adds language to allow a resident that moves to use the meter readings from their previous residence for their new residence.

 

Funding Source & Fiscal Impact (if applicable):

 

 Fiscal impact is expected to be minimal.
