The proposed increases call fora 29% increase in 2006, a 15% increase in 2007, an 11% <br />increase in 2008, and a 9% increase in 2009. As way of example, a current discharger of 5,000 <br />gallons per month would incur a charge of $16.77 in 2005, $21.62 in 2006, $24.88 in 2007, <br />$27.63 in 2008, and $30.08 in 2009. We anticipate similar rate increases by many communities <br />in Indiana as we all address the reduction of wet weather sewer overflows as mandated by EPA <br />and IDEM. <br />The enclosed proposed Ordinance is submitted with the request that it be heard on first <br />reading at the Common Council meeting to be held on Monday, October 10, 2005. After the <br />Council's first reading of this proposed Ordinance on October 10, 2005, we request that second <br />reading and public hearing be deferred to the Council's meeting on Monday, November 14, <br />2005. This will provide more time to properly notify outside city customers of the proposed rate <br />changes as required by Ind. Code Section 36-9-23-26. (Note, however, there is no proposed <br />surcharge for customers outside city limits.) Gary Gilot and I will make the formal presentation <br />at the public hearings pertaining to the proposed Ordinance. Should you have any questions, <br />please do not hesitate to call. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~.~.~ti~ <br />John J.
