SAC rate. will be $1;450 for all Local Governments. The MCES SAC rate to be paid <br />by your Local Government to MCES is the rate in effect at the time of payment on the building or sewer <br />connection permit regardless of when the permitting process began. <br />The monthly SAC report and payment aze due within 30 days of the end of the month. Beginning in <br />2005, the Local Government's retainage of 1% of MCES SAC collections will only be allowed as a <br />discount for prompt payment. Late reports will forfeit this discount. <br />SAC rate discounts aze available, with prior MCES approval, when multi family developments include <br />water conservation features such as a central laundry, or if they are publicly subsidized low income units <br />with no dishwashers or garbage disposals. <br />• Your community collects a local (or retail) SAC as users connect to the metropolitan wastewater system for <br />the first time or as a user's potential or peak sewage increases. The MCES (or wholesale) SAC is paid to <br />the Council on the same basis. The SAC funds we collect pay for the reserve capacity (unused) portion of <br />the capital costs of the metropolitan wastewater system as specified in Minn. Statutes section 473.517 (3). <br />If you have any financial questions, please feel free to contact me at (651) 602-1196.
