Title
Substitute resolution relating to the establishment of sewer user rates for 2002.
Analysis
Pursuant to Common Council Ordinance File Number 010869, residential sewer charges (both those collected for the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD) and the local sewer user charge that funds the City's sewer maintenance fund) are based on a percentage of water consumed, with the percentage to be approved annually by the Common Council. This resolution establishes the percentages for 2002 as 95% of water consumption for the 6-month period January through June and 85% of water consumption for the 6-month period July through December. It further establishes MMSD sewer user rates for 2002.

Whereas, MMSD sewer user rates are jointly established each year by the City Comptroller, the Water Works and the City Engineer; now, therefore, be it
