<br />by type of user. Approximately 750 of the sewer operating expense, excluding
<br />depreciatiml on the distribution system, are £or sewage service provided by
<br />the Dletropolitan Waste Control Commission (MWCC). Consequently, U�e sewer
<br />rates arz in a large part determined by the i�iVVCC. The City has increased
<br />rates for all types of users in 1952, due to an increase iii cllarges frcm tlze
<br />Ml4CC. Se�ver rates are not calculated to generate revenues to offset dcpreciation
