F. Based on my investigation and MWMC's findings and recommendation, Ifind that <br /> the proposed Wastewater User Fee Schedule is in compliance with the Council's directive that the <br /> costs of providing such services be recovered from the beneficiaries of the services, and other <br /> applicable policies and directives of the City Council; is consistent with applicable federal and state <br /> regulations and the recommendations of MWMC; is comparable to the amounts charged by the City <br /> of Springfield and other such service providers; preserves the equity between different classes of <br /> <br /> . ratepayers; and is based on the proposed budgets of the City and MWMC. Therefore, the amended <br /> fee schedule attached as Exhibit A should be implemented and effective for all bills issued on or <br /> after July 1, 2006. <br /> On the basis of these findings, I order that: <br /> 1. A copy of this Order be forwarded to the Mayor and City Councilors.
