RE: Evergreen Sewer District proposed rate for Fiscal 1997.
Attached is a spread sheet itemizing the actual costs of the Wastewater Treatment Plant
for Fiscal 1996. Also shown on the spreadsheet are the monthly flows for the Sewer
District and the WWTP. The Evergreen rate is based on the percent of flows through
the WWTP. For Fiscal 1996, Evergreen's share of the flows were 18.54%. Last year's
percent was 16.85%. The costs for the Replacement Account are also based on percent
of flows. 18.54% of the costs for FY 1996 would require a rate of $1.31 per thousand.
The rate charged currently is $1.56. This reduction in rate is largely attributable to the
wet Spring and the amount of infiltration at the WWTP. For your information, the
spreadsheet also include that calculation for infiltration. The new rate would apply to all
usage by Evergreen for the Fiscal year 1997.
