WRachment: Metropolitan Disposal
System Flows and Charges
The Metropolitan Council adopted a Metropolitan Wastewater Charge for 2016 of $201.0 million. This is an increase of
5.4% from the 2015 charge of $190.7 million.
As you may know, 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 5.8% for 2016 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 close to the national
average. Nevertheless, our combined 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 an average of $404 for 25 peer
wastewater service providers that treat more than 100 million gallons per day.
MCES continues to utilize the "firm flow" allocation method, which uses the 12 -month flow values between July 1, 2014
and June 30, 2015 (as an estimate of 2016 service) to allocate the $201.0 million of total metropolitan charges. Your
municipality's percentage of the overall system flow during that period is the percentage of the Metropolitan Wastewater
Charge that will be charged to your community in 2016. We have included the calculation on the attached table and will
bill your municipality in equal monthly amounts in 2016. Note that overall system flow is down; therefore, municipalities
that benefit from others who pay for inflow and infiltration (1 /1) will realize less of a benefit.
MCES community rate survey results and additional information regarding our rates and billings are available at:

Note that the numbers on the attached table DO NOT include any 1/1 Surcharges. Those communities that have a
preliminary 2016 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 contact me at (651)
602 -1162 or e-mail me at ned.smith(c)-metc. state. mn.us. For the NACWA data, please contact Dan Schueller at (651) 602-
1624 or dan .schueller(aD-metc. state. mn.us. Please contact Kyle Colvin with questions about your community's wastewater
flows at (651) 602 -1151 or kyle.colvinametc.state.mn.us.
