The remaining amount of nine million <br /> five hundred thousand dollars ($9 ,500 ,000) is to be raised by local <br /> government through the rate structure. The proposed ordinance <br /> provides funding for a revenue bond to cover these improvements . <br /> The proposed rate structure also provides revenues for orderly <br /> equipment replacement , sewer line extensions , debt coverage and <br /> proper funding of the existing plant operation, as well as the new <br /> improvements . <br /> 1308 County-City Building • South Bend, Indiana 46601 • 219/284-9412 <br /> John E.
