Re: Ordinance to Amend the Provisions for Sewer Connection Fees
Dear Mayor Tedesco and Council Members:
The Ames Municipal Code contains sections that provide for a connection fee to tap onto a water
main or sanitary sewer main. The water section (Sec. 28.202) does not state a dollar amount,
referring instead to the Council setting the fee from time to time by resolution. However, it was
discovered recently that the sanitary sewer provision (Sec. 28.305) states a dollar amount that has
not been revised since 1992.
The attached ordinance would revise the sewer connection provision to delete a dollar amount and
refer instead to a rate to be set by Council resolution, from time to time, as is done with respect to
water main connections.
Yours truly,
John R. Klaus
City Attorney
