The Kootenai-Ponderay Sewer District’s governing board will conduct a public hearing on Monday, August 28th, 2023, in the meeting room at 511 Whiskey Jack Road at 5:30 p.m. in conjunction with the annual Budget Hearing for the purpose of hearing public comments regarding proposed increases for monthly sewer charges and other fees.
The reasons for these actions are that increased operating revenue is needed to meet the operating and maintenance costs of the system, to fund the ongoing depreciation of the system, and to bring other fees more reasonably in-line with current costs. The current monthly user rates and proposed rates per equivalent residential unit (ER) are:
Current Monthly Rate | Proposed Monthly Rate | |
---|---|---|
Single Family Residence | $53.33 | $54.93 |
Residential-Com-per ER | $53.33 | $54.93 |
Admin/Non-Conn Fees-Per ER | $10.18 | $10.49 |
Commercial User per ER | $71.56 | $73.71 |
Industrial User per ER | $91.18 | $93.92 |
Govt/Non-Profit User per ER | $26.70 | $27.50 |
All interested parties are invited to attend. Written comments must be submitted to the Kootenai-Ponderay Sewer District prior to the scheduled hearing by either mailing to P.O. Box 562, Kootenai, ID 83840, or delivering to the District office at 511 Whiskey Jack Road. Additional information is available at the District office, or by calling (208) 263-0229.
The public hearing for consideration of the proposed budget revision for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2023, will be held at the District Office at 511 Whiskey Jack Road on Monday, August 28th, 2023, at 5:30 p.m. All interested persons are invited to appear and show cause, if any, why such budget should or should not be adopted.
