BACKGROUND Metropolitan King County has adopted Ordinance No. 15522 showing the monetary requirements for sewage disposal. The King County monthly fee for the disposal of sewage is increasing from $25.60 per month to $27.95 per residence or per residential equivalent. As a component agency, Tukwila passes these costs on to their sewer customers. Also of note the King County sewage capacity charge will increase from the current $34.05 per month for fifteen years to $42.00 per month for fifteen years for any sewer connection occurring between January 1, 2007, and December 31, 2007. For any new sewer connections occurring between January 1, 2008, and December 31, 2008, the amount will be $50.00 per month for fifteen years. In addition to the King County sewage disposal fee, the Tukwila base rate is scheduled for an increase in accordance with the rate model that analyzes the City's operational and capital needs. The City sewer rate will increase from $8.00 to $8.80 per residential connection, and from $14.00 to $15.40 for up to 750 cubic feet or fraction thereof for the commercial/ industrial customers. the needs of the water enterprise fund as well. The last rate Public Works has analyzed IP increase for monthly water charges was in 2000. Wholesale price increases will start next year and into 2008. A rate increase is being proposed to maintain rate stabilization and diffuse larger rate increases that could happen later (see following table). A portion of this increase will provide the funds necessary for continuing operational and capital needs. Mayor Mullet Page 2 October 11, 2006 Fire protection charges are the rate for private fire protection lines and have not been increased since 1996. These charges defray expenses related to building sprinkler systems and hydrants. An increase from $5.00 to $6.00 in the base computation rate is proposed. No increase in Storm and Surface Water fees is proposed for 2007.
