Re: 2005 Municipal Wastewater Charges
Environmental Services
On August 11, 2004 the Metropolitan Council adopted an aggregate Municipal Wastewater Charge for
2005 of$138.5 million. This is a 3.4
percent increase from the 2004 budgeted
charge of $134 million.
In order to stabilize the flow revenue for
us, and the charges for you, the Council
adopted a "firm flow" allocation method beginning in 2005. This means that instead of estimating a
system flow number, we will use the last known flow numbers to allocate the $138.5 million budgeted
for 2005. For 2005 billing, the calculation will be based on flows from the period beginning July 1, 2003
and ending June 30, 2004. The overall system flow for that period was 94.57 billion gallons. Your
community's annual bill will be determined by the percentage ofthe 94.57 billion gallons that originated
in your community times the $138.5 million. See attachment for your community's flow and charge.
Because of low flows, actual municipal
wastewater charges for 2004 will be
$126.5 million -$7.5 million short of the
budgeted amount. This means that your
2004 charges are likely to be substantially
lower than you anticipated.

If it is easier for you to think of this in rate terms, the implicit rate for 2005 is $138.5 million /94.57 bg
= $1,464.56 per million gallons ($146.46 per hundred thousand gallons). Your charge win be your
annual flow in the subject period times this rate.
Also since your community's entire charge for 2005 is now known, we will bill you a flat amount each
month: the annual charge divided by 12. These new charges will begin January 2005.
