March 2, 1973 _ <br />TO: Members of the Common Council <br />1. <br />RE: Sewage Rate Ordinance <br />PROPS: John L. Hunter, Director of Utilities <br />is an ordinance requesting that rates for customers outside the <br />City limits of South Bend, Indiana be increased to 120 per cent above <br />rates established for customers within the City of South Bend, Indiana. <br />Th,e average customer pays approximately $40 per year for this service. <br />It will mean an approximate additional charge of $8 per year for the <br />average residential. user. For a commercial user it will vary accord- <br />ing to his present bill. <br />The actual revenue developed will be minor, but the sewers transporting <br />wastes are a7]_ constructed by city consumers and this amount will aid <br />in a small way. It is more of a principle than a revenue incentive to <br />approve this ordinance. It is just good reasoning that people living <br />outside the corporate limits of South Bend, and paying lower tax rates, <br />should pay additional for city services. This is a city service. <br />Jyhn L. Hunter <br />Attachment <br />
