Re: Metropolitan Council Wastewater Credit of Past Sewer Billings
The MCES has determined that Oak Park Heights should receive a flow credit and adjust
the cost allocation for the years 2013-2018. This proposed credit is $463,620.25. The
staff of MCES is requesting the city take the credit against the 2018/2019 billing. This
would be approximately 1 years' worth of charges.
There are some items we should discuss prior to accepting their offer:
• Should we take the credit in cash now or have it applied against the future billing?
• What are the possible actions once we receive the credit;
1) Pass the Credit On in the form of a credit to customers?
2) Should we apply the credit to Sewer Infrastructure Funds? (Renewal and
Replacement-Sewer)
3) Should we do a combination of the 1St two items?
• How are we assured that the future reads are accurate? The argument of the flow
reads began with comparing the monthly MCES reads to the amount of water
pumped from the wells which resulted in unexplainable differences and no
measurable correlations. The minimum the City should request is monthly reads
from MCES for the flows; total, OPH, Bayport. This should be supplied with
daily reads supporting the monthly data. Maybe an annual maintenance report on
the meters including calibrations and system from MCES?
The present Sewer Rates will produce a surplus for the 2019 Budget and will be reviewed
with the 2019 Rate Study.
For possible discussion, I have attached a FACT worksheet.
MCES is requesting to start the refund on the August Invoice. The Council should decide
in the near future on our approach so that staff and MCES can be informed on how to
proceed.
