PARENT, Mayor <br />COUNTY -CITY BUILDING SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 46601 <br />August 6, 1980 <br />Members of the Common Council <br />441 County /City Building <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br />RE: Waste Water Treatment Ordinance <br />Dear Councilmen: <br />(219) 284 -9251 <br />An ordinance is herewith submitted for rate increases in sewage <br />rates. As shown by the ordinance, the last rate increase was in 1971. <br />Exceptional cost increases, especially in the last three years, <br />threatened the Waste Water Treatment Plant with deficit operation <br />which jeopardizes the financial standing of the entity for possible <br />future financing. <br />Careful review has been made of the rate increase projections by <br />certified public accountants retained by the Waste Water Treatment <br />Plant. We believe that this rate increase is necessary to insure <br />future functioning of this service and to maintain the necessary <br />coverage on outstanding bond issues. <br />We will be pleased to furnish you with any materials or additional <br />information which you may request. <br />Ver ly yours, <br />• <br />t� <br />Patrick M. McMahon, P.E. <br />Director <br />PMMcM:amc <br />Attachment <br />
