Section 6.411 (fo?-merly Sectia~ 7.020) of the Eugene, Code, 1971 authorizes the City Manager to determine and set fees and charges to be imposed by the City for wastewater service and fo,r regional wastewater service.

Notice of the proposed wastewater service charges to begin on July 1, 1994 was originaly provided by Administrative Order 58-94-08, dated May 1.7, 1994. Due to an error in ~'i publication of the Notice by the Register Guard, it is necessary to provide new Notice of the proposed wastewater charges and to reschedule the public hearing on those proposed charges.
