WASTE WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM
<br />
<br />Provides for the admimstration, operation and maintenance of the sanitary sewer
<br />system, laboratory and lift stations for the sanitary treatment of household,
<br />commercial and industrial waste deposited into the sanitary sewer system.
<br />
<br />2003 BUDGET COMPARED WITH 2002 BUDGET
<br />
<br />The 2003 wastewater treatment system (WWTS) budget calls for expenditures in the amount
<br />of $1,468,300. This represents a $249,150 or 20% increase over the adopted 2002 budget.
<br />The WWTS department includes four full time employees plus one summer seasonal
<br />employee.
<br />
<br />The majority of the budget increase is in the capital outlay category. This category increased
<br />by $177,700. The requested items include a jet/vacuum truck ($250,000), upgrading 13 of
<br />the city lift stations ($18,200), and for constructing a pole barn at the sledge land site
<br />($22,000). The pole barn is needed to house sledge land spreading equipment. The plan is
<br />for the city to get out of the wastewater sledge transportation business from the treatment
<br />plant to the land spreading site at 165th Avenue and Jarvis Street. The reason to get out of
<br />the sledge hauling business is due to safety concerns over the large slo~v moving vehicle that
<br />the city uses to transport sledge. The expense to hire a f~rm to transport the sledge is
<br />estimated at $16,100 and is a contractual services expense in the other services and charges
<br />budget category. Overall, the other services and charges budget category is projected to
<br />increase $57,600 or 13%. The biggest increase in this budget category is in utilities, which is
<br />proposed to increase by $35,350, due mainly to a low estimate being used in previous
<br />budgets.
<br />
<br />Based on the 2003 projections, it appears that the WWTS expenditures will exceed revenues.
<br />The biggest uncertainty in projecting revenues relates to SAC charges, which are based on
<br />new buildings being constructed in the Urban Service District. The $250,000 SAC projection
<br />for 2003 is lower than the projection in the 2002 budget. The 2003 SAC projection is based
<br />on an increase in the SAC fee of $200 to a total of $1,500 per unit and building permits
<br />being issued for approximately 167 single-family homes. If necessary WWTS reserves will be
<br />used to balance the budget at year end 2003.
