Re: 2014 Municipal Wastewater Charges
The Metropolitan Council adopted a Metropolitan Wastewater Charge for 2014 of$184.19 million. This is an
increase of 3.0%from the 2013 budget of$178.824. Metropolitan wastewater facilities nationwide are under
a lot of cost pressure due to aging infrastructure, increasing regulation and decreasing federal support.
Future rate increases in the near term are likely to be higher than 3%. Nevertheless our competiveness
nationally remains very good. The National Association of Clean Water Agencies(NACWA) listed an
increase of 7.4%for 2012 and predicts 6-7% increases for the next 5 years.
In 2014, MCES will continue the"firm flow" allocation method which uses the 12-month flow numbers for the
period July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013 to allocate the$184.188 million of total metropolitan charges. Your
municipality's percentage of the overall system flow is the percentage of the Metropolitan Wastewater
Charge that will be charged to your community as your 2014 Municipal Wastewater Charge.We've done the
calculation on the attached spreadsheet and will bill your community this amount spread equally over 12
months in 2014. Note that for accounting purposes, the use of the older flow data is simply our method of
objectively estimating 2014 flows;thus the bills in 2014 are for 2014 service, no accruals are required.
More information on current MCES rates and billings is available on the Council's Web site at:
http://metrocouncil.ora/Wastewater-Water/Funding-Finance.aspx
Note that the numbers on the attached spreadsheet DO NOT include any 1/1 Surcharges. Those
communities that have a preliminary 2014 1/1 obligation have received a separate letter from me already.
As always, MCES welcomes your comments, questions and suggestions on our services. Feel free to call
me at any time at(651) 602-1196 or send me an e-mail at l ason.willefta-metc.state.mn.us. If you want the
NACWA data, please contact Dan Schueller at(651) 602-1624 or dan.schueller(ametc.state.mn.us. In
addition or alternatively, please contact Kyle Colvin with questions about your communities'wastewater
flows at(651)602-1151 or kyle.colvina-metc.state.mn.us.
