| WATER AND WASTEWATER SYSTEMS |
| The Department of Public Services (DPS) staff is responsible for maintaining the Village's water treatment and distribution system. Several employees hold various levels of certifications as required by the State of Michigan for the treatment and monitoring processes necessary to operate the water system. All employees assist in emergency situations such as repair of broken water mains. The DPS is also responsible for reading and repairing water meters, and maintaining fire hydrants and gate valves. The Village's wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) is operated by four full-time and one part-time employee; DPS staff maintains the collection system. |

| Water Operating and Maintenance Rate |
|
| The current rate charged for the water system operating and maintenance (O & M) costs is $1.53 per thousand gallons of water used. No rate increase is included in the proposed budget. |
|
|
| Wastewater Operating and Maintenance Rate |
|
| The budget includes an increase in the wastewater O & M of 35¢ per thousand gallons of water used, or an increase of 7.9%. The increase is primarily due to two factors. Several years ago, we started moving away from the use of tap fees for O & M purposes and this year's budget does not include the use of any portion of tap fees for operations. The second factor is due to a decrease in use of more than 9% over the last two years. In 2009, we billed for 174,612,000 gallons as compared to 192,714,000 gallons in 2007. This is a loss of almost $80,000 in annual revenue. |

| Base Charges |
|
| No change is proposed to the water base rate, which is based on meter size and ranges from $12.00 per quarter for a 3/4-inch meter (the typical residential-size meter) to $372 per quarter for a 4-inch meter. The sewer base rate is currently $4.33 per quarter per account. A change is proposed to charge the sewer base rate on the meter size; the rate would range from $4.33 per quarter for a 3/4-inch meter to $259.80 for a 6-inch meter. |
|
|
|
|
| Debt Rates |
|
| The rate for water debt is currently $1.95 per thousand gallons and sewer debt is 37¢ per thousand for a total debt rate of $2.32 per thousand. No change is proposed to the overall debt rate, however, the allocation between the two should be changed to $2.01 for water debt and 31¢ for sewer debt. |
|
|
|
| Capital Outlay |
|
| Water capital outlay is requested for hydrants and meters, brick work and roof repairs at the treatment plant. Wastewater capital is requested for property acquisition, a pickup, ongoing work on the SCADA system, and to install gate valves on the clarifier head control chamber. Replacement of the clarifiers is also requested and will be funded from the proceeds of the Capital Improvement Bond sold in the spring of 2010. |
