REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION <br />STAFF REPORT <br />AGENDA SESSION DATE June 5, 1995 <br />Agenda Section: 8 . <br />Report Number: 9 5 -13 6 4WS <br />Report Date: 5- 3 0- 9 5 <br />DISPOSITION <br />Item Description: Discussion regarding water service repair surcharge. <br />Administrator's Review/Recommendation: <br />- No comments to supplement this report <br />- Comments attached. <br />Explanation/Summary (attach supplement s necessary.) <br />,SUMMARY; <br />At the May Council work session staff was requested to estimate the amount <br />of funds possibly required to repair residential services, should they <br />break or leak beyond the edge of the road. Staff is estimating, based on <br />three of these circumstances occurring per year, that the city would <br />require approximately $10,000 to repair these leaks. If a change of <br />responsibility of the service should take place, staff is recommending <br />that, only the residential services be covered by this change. Furthermore, <br />staff recommends that the sanitary sewer service responsibility remain <br />intact. <br />Given that the residents would receive additional service, the City may <br />wish to fund this from those receiving the benefits. To raise $10,000, it <br />might be possible to charge each resident served by the public water <br />system, $3.40 per year, or $ .85 per quarter. <br />Staff seeks Council direction regarding changing of the existing ordinance, <br />and any thoughts related to the above mentioned information. <br />Michael Ulrich, Director of Public Works <br />RECOMMENDATION; <br />
