Rate Structure for 201 Systems In his letter dated January 10, 1990, Larry Bohrer reported in 1988 and 1989 the sewer charge was $120 per year for each residential equivalent unit. In 1988 the expenses were $3,607 and the income was $4,870 leaving a year-end balance of. +$1,263. In 1989, the expenses were $6,417 and the income was $4,870 leaving a year-end balance of -$1,547 for a cumulative fund balance of.-$284.00. Bohrer indicated the fund should have a two-year ending balance of 4-$720 to cover future replacement of pumps and controls. The reason given by Bohrer for the high expenses was in 1988 the systems were still under the one-year warranty by the contractor. He was doing some of the things that would normally be done by the maintenance crew. Also this was the first year that they were in full operation and the turf was being established and didn't require the mowing. Now, the City maintains everything and keeps the records. Bohrer recommended raising the rates for 1990 from $120 per year to $180 per year for each equivalent residential unit (ERU) except the two individual off -site systems (Severin parcel and Scovill parcel) which require minimal maintenance.
