NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.411, Administrative Order No. 58-98-i 1-F was issued by the City Manager of the City of Eugene on June 26, 1998, establishing monthly sewer user fees effective July 1, 1998. The City Manager has investigated the City's current revenue needs and cost of operation of the City's wastewater service system and reviewed the recommendation of the Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission (MWMC), and has proposed to increase the septage user charge for MWMC wastewater service as hereinafter set forth. In July 1998 there was a surcharge added to the rate to cover costs for improvements to the septage facility, which will expire on September 30, i 999. The rate proposed herein was established by surveying other wastewater facilities that accept septage discharge throughout the state and averaging the rate charged by those agencies. At the August 18, 1999 MWMC meeting the Commission approved the policy of setting septage rates at market levels and adopted the proposed rate, which should be effective on all bills issued after November 1, 1999. The current monthly rates charged for all other wastewater services, regional wastewater treatment service, and the rates for stormwater service to be effective on all bills issued on or after July 1, 1998, within the City of Eugene's service area for such services both inside and outside the City of Eugene will remain in effect.
