<br />Water Fund 601
<br />
<br />Sewer Fund 602 - The Sanitary Sewer Utility Fund is a self-sustaining fund. The maintenance of
<br />the sanitary sewer lines and lift stations is the responsibility of the City of Little Canada Public
<br />Works Department. The maintenance includes inspections, flushing, and cleaning of the sewer lines
<br />and routine maintenance of the lift stations. Wastewater flows into the Metropolitan Council’s
<br />system to be treated. City staff is also exploring the possible option of providing contracted services
<br />to the City of North Oaks in 2025. These services are currently being provided by White Bear
<br />Township.
<br />
<br />• Municipal Wastewater Charge - For 2025, the estimated wastewater service fee for Little
<br />Canada is $1,424,252, a change of 8.40% from 2024. This represents the largest expenditure
<br />within the fund. This amount is determined based on the overall City’s percentage system
<br />flow during 2023.
<br />
<br />
<br />• Personnel Services an increase of 1.25% or $4,616. This includes calculated increases for
<br />COLA at 3% and 3.25% step increases for eligible employees. The minimal increase was
<br />accomplished by making changes to the allocation of staff time.
<br />
<br />• Commodities a 5.33% increase of $2,596 for anticipated maintenance at the City’s lift
<br />stations.
<br />
<br />• Contractual Services are an increase of 6.06% or $6,977. The increase relates primarily to
<br />the increase in liability insurance, workers' compensation, and audit services.
<br />
<br />• Depreciation expenditures are estimated each year based on the current depreciation
<br />schedule of the capital infrastructure. These funds are ultimately transferred at the end of the
<br />year to the Capital Infrastructure Fund 604. This fund is used for purchasing capital assets
<br />that are related to the Utility Fund.
