RE: Revision to City of Dubuque Code of Ordinances Title 13, Sections 13-2C-
3(B) and 13-2C-3(C)(7). Establishing Sewer Rates
DATE: March 12, 2015
INTRODUCTION:
The purpose of this memorandum is to submit to you a copy of the proposed ordinance
changes and a recommendation that ordinance changes anticipated for FY2016 take
effect on July 1, 2015.
DISCUSSION:
In our budget request for FY2016 we are requesting a 10% sewer rate increase. The
effect of the amendment changes, based upon the 10% increase, is on the attached
page. The ordinance changes would revise Section 13-2C-3(B) and Section 13-2C-
3(C)(7) of the Code of Ordinances increasing basic wastewater charges for residential,
commercial and minor industrial users from $4.19 to $4.61 per ccf, rate per each gallon
from $ .0056 to $ .00616.
RECOMMENDATION:
I recommend that you approve the proposed ordinance changes and submit them to the
City Council for approval at their March 12, 2015 budget hearing.
