Analysis
The common council, on December 15, 2000, enacted council file number 001188, an ordinance that made several changes to the rules governing the collection of sewer user charges. One of these changes was the end of the practice of basing the billing of residential users on so-called "winter quarter" consumption and basing it instead on a percentage of consumption each billing period.

This ordinance repeals that change and restores winter billing, meaning that the volumetric portion of the residential sewer use charge for the entire year will be water consumption during the winter quarter. The only exception would be those cases in which water usage during any of the 3 succeeding quarter is higher than that during the winter quarter. In these cases, actual water consumption from that same quarter would be used to calculate the volumetric charge.

This ordinance will take effect on January 1, 2003.
