Rouse <br />President, South Bend Common Council <br />4`h Floor, County-City Building <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br />Re: City of South Bend Water Rate Final Approval <br />Dear Mr. Rouse: <br />Attached for filing with the South Bend Common Council is an Ordinance amending <br />previous Ordinance No. 9561-05. That Ordinance increased water rates and service charges, but <br />those rates were subject to approval of the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC). On <br />February 8, 2006, the IURC issued its Order which effectively approved the rates as requested by <br />the City with some modification and reservation. For the Council's information, the most recent rate <br />approval process was highly contested, and also protracted, by an intervention from rate payers <br />located outside City limits. As to those rates, the IURC approved them subject to a future cost of <br />service study. <br />The attached Ordinance contains rates and charges which are slightly different and lower than <br />those set forth in previous Ordinance No. 9561-05. Because of this slight rate differential, previous <br />Ordinance No. 9561-OS must be amended. <br />We hope the Council will approve the attached Ordinance. Mr. John Stancati will make the <br />presentation of this Ordinance to the Common Council at its Utilities Committee meeting and at the <br />full Council meeting. Thank you for your consideration. <br />AMD/cw <br />Sincerely, <br />~ ~ '.~ - ~. <br />Aladean M.
