Attachments Engineering Services Committee Meeting 11/24/2014 1:20 PM Augusta Utilities Sanitary Sewer Connection Services Program Department: Caption:Motion to approve Augusta Utilities Sanitary Sewer Connection Services Program. (Approved by Engineering Services Committee November 10, 2014) (Referred from November 18 Commission meeting) Background:In an effort to assist our customers, we are proposing a Sanitary Sewer Connection Services Program whereby Augusta Utilities would contract to connect customers to sanitary sewer where it is available. This work would include abandoning existing septic tanks and rerouting plumbing to the tap. We propose that customers who elect to participate in the program pay a $50/month surcharge on their sewer bill for 24 months, for a total customer contribution of $1200. Augusta Utilities would bear any additional cost. We propose pre-qualifying a pool of plumbing contractors to perform this work, and work would be assigned on a competetive basis, similar to the task order program. Analysis:In areas where sanitary sewer is extended into existing developments, many customers would like to connect but cannot afford the cost of replumbing. This program would assist our customers as well as increase our customer base and revenue. Financial Impact:AUD has budgeted $200,000 for this program. Alternatives:The Commission could elect not to approve this program. Recommendation:We recommend that the commission approve the program described above.
