The Metropolitan Council has established sewer service availability and connection charges (SAC) for all <br />buildings constructed or connected to the Metropolitan Disposal System.

The sewer rates for commercial, industrial, institutional and all other users not covered <br />in the Unit table set in the City's Fee Schedule as adopted by ordinance shall be as follows: <br />1. For users who have municipal water, the sewer charge will be based on each one thousand (1,000) gallons, <br />or part thereof of water consumption. The sewer use rate, per each 1,000 gallons of water, will be set by <br />resolution of the City Council at its first meeting in January. A minimum charge for each quarter also will <br />be set by resolution of the City Council at its first meeting in January. <br />2. For a commercial, industrial, institutional or other user that does not have municipal water, the charges <br />shall be as follows: <br />1. The user may, at his own expense, install a meter, approved by the City Building Official, to <br />measure the amount of water consumption. This meter shall be installed by a Licensed Plumber <br />and inspected by the Plumbing Inspector before any use is allowed. The rate for each 750 <br />gallons will be set by resolution of the City Council at its first meeting in January. <br />3.
