Subject: RE: water rates for the Larson area - in MLMC
It’s a little confusing – the ordinances were not updated using legislative formatting (showing markup) – the rate for outside the city limits for everyone (according to the code) was
25% and then the addition on the reduction for Larson surcharge occurred in 1989 on Ord 1411.
There were some rate studies done and comments from Larson residents on MLMC update were about a rate “increase” which doesn’t make sense if the ordinance indicates a break in surcharge
– they may have just meant the increase in flat rate and maybe council chose to lower surcharge to accommodate the flat rate increase. You cant tell from the minutes – but I’m having
a faint memory of the discussion at council since I have been here. Cindy, do you recall the same?
The only contract on file for Larson is with the US Army to access for sampling dated 2017: Former Larson AFB Right of Entry for Well Sampling, replaces expired agreement
Council Member Jackson may have more insight.
