Mr Jones stated this Ordinance will regulate the type of waste going into the system by instituting an industrial waste permit, inspection process and allow the City to charge connection and sewer user fees. The revenue realized by the City is estimated at $400,000 per year, creating a self - paying system and offsetting a budget deficit. Mr. Jones gave the estimated sewer user fee schedule. Based on 100 cubic feet of water consumed a single family would be charged $.17, and industrial /commercial $.28.

Contracting the labor might be an option, because a full -time city employee might not be necessary. Other options are available such as sharing a contractor with another city.
