GtLOT, P.E. <br />DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS <br />September 21, 2004 <br />Ms. Karen White <br />President, South Bend Common Council <br />400 County City Building <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br />Re: Ordinance Approving and Fixing Rates and Charges for the Discharge of Septic <br />Waste at the South Bend Waste~vater treatment Plant <br />Dear Council President White: <br />Enclosed is a copy of a proposed Ordinance for the Council's consideration. This ordinance <br />relates to the fees charged to septic haulers who discharge their waste at the South Bend Wastewater <br />Treatment Plant. <br />We have offered and endured this service for many years because these haulers had very few <br />options for disposing of this waste which is drawn from residential septic tanks in the County. Recently, <br />a private company has opened its doors in Elkhart which is better equipped to deal with this concentrated <br />waste. By setting our rates at $0.06 per gallon, we provide a $0.01 per gallon incentive for the hauler <br />to use the Elkhart facility. Niles Wastewater Treatment Plant has recently raised their rates to $O.US per <br />gallon. I do not believe that the Mishawaka or Elkhart Plants offer the service. <br />I will make the presentation of this Ordinance to the Council at its Committee meeting and at the <br />public hearing. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />ohn J. on, Ph.D. <br />Director, Division of Envi n~~l AC'S Off~C@ <br />Enclosure <br />cc: Aladean M.
