ORDINANCE NO. 3V 4
AN ORDINANCE of the City Council of the City
of Kent, Washington, adjusting the scheduled charges for
sewer service attributed to increased capital and the
maintenance and operational needs of both the City's
Sewer utility system and King County's sewer utility
system.
RECITALS
A. King County has increased its 2005 rate for sewage treatment, including
applicable utility tax, by $2.44 per month per residential equivalent (750 cubic feet of
sewage). Additionally, King County plans additional increases in 2007 of $3.13, in
2008 of $3.14, and in 2009 of $2.84. Moreover, the City has identified immediate
infrastructure replacement needs of over $6,500,000 in excess of its regular projected
annual maintenance, operation, and replacement cost needs that normally arise as the
system ages. Taken together, these factors increase the costs to supply safe and
sanitary sewer service to our community and thus require that the City's sewer service
charges be increased.
B. The Operations Committee has recommended that these increases,
including applicable utility tax, be passed along to the City's customers.
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENT,
WASHINGTON, DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
ORDINANCE
