Title

Consider approving an ordinance amendment to Section 7-4-1 and 7-3-81 of the Harrisonburg City Code increasing water, sewer/authority, and Inflow and Infiltration surcharge

Body

Presented By:  Mike Collins, Public Utilities Director

Recommendation and Review

The ordinance amendment to 7-4-1 would increase rates per one thousand (1000) gallons charged by the City as follows; water rates by twenty cents ($.20), sewer rates by thirty cents ($.30) on all customers. This is an amendment to raise water and sewer/authority rates as approved by the Council for the FY 23-24 budget. The ordinance amendment to 7-3-81 would increase the maximum surcharge allowable to fifty dollars ($50.00) for illegal discharge into the City’s sanitary sewer system.
