1316 COUNTY-CITY $UILDING <br />227 W. JEFFERSON BOULEVARD <br />SOUTH SEND, INDIANA 46601-1830 <br />CITY OF SOUTH BEND STEPHEN J. LUECKE~ MAYOR <br />DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS <br />GARY A. GILOT~ P.E. <br />DIItECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS <br />November 6, 2001 <br />Ms. Charlotte Pfeiffer, President <br />South Bend Common Council <br />4`'' Floor, County-City Building <br />South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br />RE: Ordinance -Establishment of Universal Rate <br />Connections to Water and Sewer Lines <br />Dear President Pfeiffer: <br />PHONE 219/235-9251 <br />Fax 219/235-9171 <br />TDD 219/235-5567 <br />The attached Ordinance is a logical outgrowth of recent ordinances dealing with extensions <br />of water and sewer lines. The Common Council had recently enacted ordinances that deal with each <br />specific extension that we have done to the water or sewer system. This leads to slightly different <br />unit prices as well as the timing of the issue of needing to do ordinances before each project to <br />commence construction. The universal rates for connection to water and sewer are based on a review <br />of recent prices for extensions of modest depth and sizes which would be necessary to serve <br />residential developments. <br />We have not included costs associated with our deepest or largest trunk sewers or <br />transmission lines. These increment costs will be borne by all the rate payers of the water and sewer <br />utility, whereas the initial connection cost is to recover a reasonable depth and size of water or sewer <br />line costs. We have established water connection fees per lineal foot and sewer connection fees per <br />square foot, based on lot sizes. <br />The remainder of the ordinance reflects the standard language which you have seen in <br />numerous individual ordinances with one policy exception. We are proposing that the past practice <br />of 10% discount for lump sum payments be continued, but we are proposing the introduction of a <br />below-market interest rate for time payment plans. We are suggesting that this rate vary from year <br />to year as established by the City Controller through the Board of Public Works, and that in all <br />instances the rate for contracts which initiate in the following calendar year would be 2% below the <br />City's prime rate of borrowing, as established on December 1 of the previous calendar year. The <br />interest rate would stay with the contract through the sixty (60) monthly payments and not be <br />ENGINEERING ENVmONMENTAL SERVICES CENTRAL SERVICES STREETS WATER WORKS <br />CARL LITTRELL, P.E.
