• Water/Sewer Rate Study Update
(R. Hutchison, Interim Finance Director)
Bob McLain, Rate Consultant, for Maximus, Inc., presented the final findings of the Water and Sewer
Rate Study. The presentation up-dated the City Council on alternative water conservation rates and
proposed water/sewer rate increases. Mr. McLain commented that at this time, unless the City Council
chooses to implement water conservation rates, no rate increases are proposed in water rates. He
explained that it was his recommendation that the City continue to pass on increases received from the
North Texas Municipal Water District on a yearly basis as may be required. A sewer rate adjustment is
required by October, 2005. Several options were presented to the City Council that will be addressed
during the budget preparation for FY 2006 regarding rate increases. Increases in sewer rates, he
explained, are the direct result of the construction of the Muddy Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant and
a proposed expansion in FY 2007.
With no further business before Council,the Mayor adjourned the meeting at 5:20 p.m. Consensus of
Council was to adjourn.
