Except <br />for ownership, these funds closely resemble a privately-owned business. <br />1'he Sanitary Sewer Fund accounts for the operation of the sewer system with 9,775 customers <br />currently being billed. The City reviews its financial position and the rate structure annually. <br />Excess retained eamings aze use� to finance current operations. Rates have increased for all <br />types of users each year since 1984 to cover increased cost from the Metropolitan Council <br />Environmental Services (IvtCES). <br />Approximately 79% of the sewer aperating expenses, including depreciation on the distribution <br />system, aze for sewage service provided by the MCES. Consequently, the sewer rates aze in a <br />large part determined by the MCES. Sewer rates are calculated to generate revenues to offset <br />�lepreciation on the distribution system. The distribution system assets were originally <br />financed by special assessments and future replacement of these assets is planned to be <br />financed by revenues. <br />10 <br />
