The report <br /> projected future operating results and recommended a rate increase in 1997 (copy of report attached). <br /> Based upon a review of 1996 operating results and the preliminary 1997 budget, it appears that the rate <br /> increase recommended in the report be enacted, and as such, staff is recommending an increase in the water <br /> rates from$1.30 to $1.35 per 1,000 gallons. <br /> e have not received final confirmation from the Metropolitan Council Wastewater Commission relating to <br /> rates they will be charging for treating wastewater for 1997 and as such, staff recommends deferring action on <br /> any wastewater rate adjustment until we receive actual 1997 wastewater charges from the MCWC. <br /> Bruce A.
