The proposed new rate <br />structure also has a minimum charge, called the base charge. Everyone will pay the same base <br />charge no matter how much sewer they use vz a month. The proposed new rate structure does <br />not have a minimum usage charge. So, if you use 2000 gallons of sewer one month, your bill <br />would be less•than a customer who used 3000 gallons of sewer that month. <br />Shown below is a chart showing the current rate charged for sewer service and the effect on <br />typical customer bills over the next three years if the proposed rate schedule were to go into <br />effect. <br />Monthly Usage Monthly sewer Monthly sewer Monthly sewer Monthly sewer <br />(gallons) bill with current bill with bill with bill with <br /> rates proposed rates proposed rates proposed rates <br /> Jan 2009 July 2009 Jul 2010 <br />2000 $15.20 $35.46 $42.55 $51.06 <br />4000 $19.70 $57.96 $69.55 $83.46 <br />6000 $28.70. $80.46 $96.55 $11'5.86 <br />If •you have any questions regarding this rate increase before the public hearing, please feel <br />free to contact me at (919)245-2313. • <br />Sincerely, <br />R.
