<br />The single largest operating cost to the sanitary sewer operation is the wastewater treatment costs paid
<br />to the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services Division (MCES). Based on projected sewer
<br />flows and treatment costs provided by the MCES, the budget for this category has been decreased by
<br />approximately $300,000. The budgeted amount is now more closely aligned with actual flows during
<br />the past two fiscal years. The measured flow has also been reduced thanks to the City's continued
<br />inflow and infiltration (I&I) reduction efforts.
<br />The City expects to have inflationary -type increases in supply costs, while personnel costs are
<br />increasing by 2.4%.
<br />Capital costs are also expected to increase significantly due to planned capital replacements in
<br />accordance with the City's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
<br />Storm Drainage Operations
<br />The City provides for the management of storm water drainage to prevent flooding and pollution
<br />control, as well as street sweeping and the leaf pickup program. The following table provides a
