utility budget
A utility fund budget which totals
$943,840 was adopted by the Maplewood
city council at its Dec. 18 meeting. That
represents nearly a $200,000 utility fund
increase compared to the estimated 1975
budget.
According to City Manager Michael
Miller,however,there should be no utility
fee increases in 1976. But Miller added
that he expects there will be a need to
increase utility rates in 1977.
The utility fund, which was adopted
about two months after the general fund,
means that the city will be operating with
a total budget slightly in excess of $5
million.
Breakdown of anticipated expenditures
include: $123,380 for administration and
billing and $840,000 for maintenance of
some 100 miles of sanitary sewers and 17
lift stations. That means of every dollar
spent in the utility fund 87.2 cents will go
towards sewer maintenance. Twelve and
eight tenths cents will go towards ad-
ministration and sewer billing.
