A RESOLUTION OF ME CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL, FLORIDA, ESTABLISHING

ARTICLE III, SERVICE RATES, DEPOSITS AND BILLING PROCEDURES,
SUBSECTION (b) MONTHLY SEWER RATES OF THE CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL
CODE OF ORDINANCES FOR SEWER SERVICE WITH THE CITY OF CAPE
CANAVERAL, FLORIDA; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Cape Canaveral, Florida, per Section 78 -152 of the Code of Ordinances,
provided for the adjustment of the Sewer Rates by Resolution; based on Regulatory Factors; and
WHEREAS, the City's Wastewater Treatment Plant upgrade to an advanced wastewater treatment and the construction of
the reclaimed water facilities as required by the Indian River Lagoon Act, necessitated a rate increase of 16.09% to meet revenue
requirements for debt and operation of these facilities; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Cape Canaveral, Florida has deemed it desirable to begin to change the City's
residential fixed sewer service rates to residential sewer service rates using water consumption as a surrogate for wastewater system
usage. The Council has determined that this billing structure has the advantages of promoting water conservation and providing a
more fair and equitable basis for residential user charges.
