Re: 2015 Municipal Wastewater Charges
The Metropolitan Council adopted a Metropolitan Wastewater Charge for 2015 of $190.71 million. This is an
increase of 3.5% from the 2014 budget of $184.19.
Metropolitan wastewater facilities nationwide are under a lot of cost pressure due to aging infrastructure,
increasing regulation and decreasing federal and state financial support. The National Association of Clean Water
Agencies (NACWA) projects a national average increase of 5.7% for 2015 and predicts increases over 5% for the
next several years.
MCES also faces these challenges and future MCES rate increases in the near term are likely to be higher than
4 %. Nevertheless, our national competiveness remains very good: at the retail level, the average single - family
residence in the Twin Cities metropolitan area paid $255 in 2014 compared to a national average of $457 per
NACWA.
For 2015 charges, MCES will continue the "firm flow' allocation method which uses the 12 -month flow numbers
for July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014 (as an estimate of 2015 service) to allocate the $190.71 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 2015 Municipal Wastewater
Charge. We've done the calculation on the attached spreadsheet and will bill your community this amount equally
over 12 monthly payments in 2015.
More information on current MCES rates and billings is available on the Council's website at:
httg : / /metrocouncil.org/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 2015 1/1 obligation have received a separate letter from Bryce Pickart.
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 Jason.willett(a-)metc.state.mn.us. If you want the NACWA
data, please contact Dan Schueller at (651) 602 -1624 or dan .schueller(o)metc. state. mn.us. In addition you may
contact Kyle Colvin with questions about your communities' wastewater flows at (651) 602 -1151 or
kyle.colvin(a)metc. state. m n. us.
