The overall municipal wastewater charge to the 109 communities served by the Metropolitan Council’s regional wastewater collection and treatment system will go up 3.5% in 2019. The sewer availability charge (SAC), paid by properties hooking up to the system for the first time or expanding their demand on the system, will stay flat for the fifth year in a row. For the Council’s industrial customers, the industrial strength charge and industrial discharge permit fee will go up 3.4% and 3.5%, respectively. Details on the Metropolitan Council website, including the Council’s presentation by its Director of Finance to adopt the proposed fees.
