More information on well water testing is available on the city web site. If you have any questions regarding the information found in the water report, 0 please contact the city at f 952.960.7900. r Utility Mats increase appro -'ed At the March 25 City Council meeting the council discussed utility rate charges (water, sanitary sewer, storm water). This discussion followed a presentation at the annual retreat in February about the financial condition of these funds and ensuring revenues are sufficient to cover future operating and capital expenses of the systems. These three utility funds, as well as the recycling fund, are considered enterprise funds. This means that they function and operate as businesses, and the rates that each of the funds charge are expected to cover the expenses. It is important to note that property taxes are not used to support the activities of the enterprise funds. Those activities include operations, capital expenditures, and debt service (if any). See page 2 for rates and more information. Dog Days of Shorewooa horewood dogs and their friends are invitec to our first Dog Days of Shorewood evens at Badger Park and Shorewood NIV Community .

The water and sewer rates have not kept up with operating costs over the past several years, and the cash position of each fund has declined. Increased expenses such as the Met Council charges to the city for sewage treatment have not been adequately reflected in the rates the city charges its sewer customers. The rate analysis has planned annual increases for each of the next ten years. As a result of a 2014 storm sewer rate study, storm water rates have been significantly increased over the past five years. The fund is in much better condition as a result, and more modest increases are planned for the storm water charges.
