MEMO <br />Public Works <br />Wastewater Division <br />RANDUM <br />Date: September 13, 1999 <br />To: Mayor Torrey and Ciry Council <br />From:. Peter Ruffier, Wastewater Division Director <br />Subject: Proposed Increase in the MWMC Septage User Fees <br />City of Eugene <br />410 River Avenue <br />Eugene, Oregon 97404 <br />(541) 682-8600 <br />(541) 682-8601 FAX <br />Attached for your review is the notice of an intended increase in the user fees for mobile waste haulers <br />(primarily septic tank wastes). At the August 18, 1999 meeting of the Metropolitan Wastewater <br />Management Commission the Commissioners approved a policy to set septage rates at a "market" level <br />that reflects the typical costs charged for septage treatment by peer wastewater agencies in the state of <br />Oregon. The Commission also adopted a new user rate of $80 per thousand gallons for the disposal of <br />septage wastes at the regional Eugene/Springfield Water Pollution Control Facility. The existing rate is <br />$67 per thousand gallons. <br />Copies of both the Administrative Order and the Public Notice for the new rate will be posted at City <br />Hall and at the Eugene/Springfield Water Pollution Control Facility. All interested parties have been <br />notified according to the policy and procedure for administrative orders. Any written comments or <br />requests for additional information should be directed to my attention at 410 River Avenue, Eugene OR <br />97404 by September 30, 1999. <br />Please feel free to contact me with any questions at 682-8606. <br />
